Emily & Rick Engagement Session | Beaver Creek State Park | Color Powder Youngstown, OH Engagement Photos

Today on the blog we’re featuring a fun, cold weather, COLORFUL engagement session! Emily, Rick, and their adorable puppy Roxie met us at Beaver Creek State Park for their March engagement photos. We had a great time and laughed a lot . . . mostly at my dorky comments!

It may be because I told them to “smile with their whole bodies” (what?!) or it might be because Rick said, “You come to this dark alley often?” with a sinister eyebrow raise just before this. Engagement sessions are too much fun!Youngstown, OH Engagement Photography

Emily made the colored powder herself, but she recommends to anyone who thinks that she/he might want to try it that just buying the powder off the internet would be best. The process for making it is time-consuming.

Roxie even got in on the playfulness.Youngstown, OH Engagement PhotographyWe adore couples who can have a blast playing around together like this! It is great to have someone in your life who makes you feel like a kid no matter how old you are. Emily & Rick are best friends who can goof around & also really care about each other, too. Those qualities are evident to those around them.Youngstown, OH Engagement Photography
