We met Cady and Ben through a friend of ours (thanks Sandy)! I don’t know how but we have ended up with the coolest couples! They are all ready to have fun and pretty much let us do whatever we want. Too bad my kids weren’t like that!

Since they live about an hour away, I suggested they meet us at the Lehigh Zoo for their engagement session. Its a really nice little zoo tucked away in the gamelands down by Allentown. We found it one day while looking for a place to shoot for fun. If you have never heard of it, or have never been there, you should check it out! They just got some penguins this year to add to the exibits. On the way out of the property, you have the option of driving through the gamelands. This road take you to a shallow riverbed which you have to cross. All along the river, there are picnic spots for families to spend the day with the kids. Its not ususual to see kids in the river catching crayfish and having fun. After you cross the river, you drive up into the mountain, where there are elk and buffalo. At the top of the mountain, you can see the whole valley. This is what we wanted to use for the setting for Cady and Ben.

When we got there, the river was blown out from all the rain. They were not letting anyone cross, since you have to actually ford the river to get across. So, we set up camp at the river and did our session there.

They are a very playful couple and I really think it shows in their photos. I can’t wait til the wedding!
