Some sessions just glow, and this one radiated pure joy. Emily and Hailey’s spring engagement shoot in the mountains of Boulder, Colorado was playful, heartfelt, and so full of love it practically spilled over into the wildflowers. From coordinated outfits to nostalgic surprises, these two brought all the magic (and then some).

BABE, YOU LOOK SO COOL

Draped in contrasting black and white dresses, with matching hair bows fluttering in the breeze, Emily and Hailey looked like they’d stepped out of a dreamy indie film—cool, confident, and madly in love. As they frolicked hand in hand through the blooming mountain flowers, their laughter echoed off the nearby peaks. It was one of those moments that felt like the sun was shining just for them.

Emily’s box tattoo in full visibility is a mark of something they share that they both love: The 1975. They fell in love with their songs as the backtrack, and if you ever run into these two at a house party or your local dive bar karaoke, you’ll likely be lucky enough to hear them scream the lyrics to “Robbers” to each other.

“She says, babe, you look so cool”

The way they looked at each other said everything. This wasn't just an engagement session; it was a celebration of a love that’s deeply rooted and impossibly fun.

DETAILS

Hailey doesn’t do anything halfway. For their proposal to Emily, they scoured the Internet to buy a heart-shaped Polly Pocket toy—just like the ones from childhood—and even found an extra bride figurine to tuck inside. It became the most whimsical ring box imaginable, and a perfect symbol of their thoughtful, nostalgic love story.

The details didn’t stop there. Their outfits were sourc ed from thrift stores and vintage sellers, like Hailey’s mom, and their rings sparkled on their fingers while holding dried floral boquets. A simple picnic setup grounded the session, adding a cozy, relaxed vibe and space to just be together in the middle of the mountains.

As if their session wasn’t already full of heart, Emily and Hailey brought along a copy of The Notebook—a story they both adore and connect with deeply. Nestled into their mountainside picnic, the book sat beside their snacks and shared smiles, a quiet nod to timeless, against-all-odds love. It was the perfect personal touch: a reminder that great love stories aren’t just read, they’re lived.

GETTING CASUAL

As the sun dipped lower, Emily and Hailey slipped into more casual outfits, trading dresses for something comfier and snuggling up atop a wooden fence with sweeping views of the hills.

This part of the session was soft and quiet—the kind of intimacy that comes after a day full of joy and movement.

Wrapped up in each other’s arms, they looked perfectly at ease, completely themselves, and absolutely ready for their next chapter.
