Um, yes, you are SO awesome.\n5) You are SO easy to work with.\n\nIs that enough gushing? Maybe I should just post the pictures and you can see why I'm SO excited about Tony and Melissa. (I'll stop saying SO now too.)\n\nI don't normally share this many pictures from an engagement session, but we took A LOT. I couldn't decide and thought, \"why do I have to choose, I'll post them all!\"\n\nWe started out at the Pearl ice cream and coffee shop in La Crosse, WI.\n<a title=\"Untitled by Tiffany B, on Flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/tiffania\/2732047066\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3029\/2732047066_f2ea8ba428.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/><\/a>\n\nThen we headed down to Riverside.\n<a title=\"Untitled by Tiffany B, on Flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/tiffania\/2731219499\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3131\/2731219499_e88750d542.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/><\/a>\n<a title=\"Untitled by Tiffany B, on Flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/tiffania\/2731215243\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3043\/2731215243_f12da548c7.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/><\/a>\n\nThis pose was their idea.

She thought that might be a good idea for a picture? I think I squealed in delight when I read that. I had this idea in my head, but I couldn't figure out a place. I wanted TALL grass, but I also didn't want to trespass on someone's land. As we were driving from Riverside to our second location, Tony saw this field and pointed to it. I thought it looked good, so he drove his truck into it. There were grasshoppers everywhere and I was wearing sandals, but it was worth it.\n\n<a title=\"Untitled by Tiffany B, on Flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/tiffania\/2731209737\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3011\/2731209737_a93cf8ffd5.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/><\/a>\n<a title=\"Untitled by Tiffany B, on Flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/tiffania\/2732038288\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3252\/2732038288_49ff959bc8.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/><\/a>\n<a title=\"Untitled by Tiffany B, on Flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/tiffania\/2732036718\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3193\/2732036718_36740630d4.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/><\/a>\n<a title=\"Untitled by Tiffany B, on Flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/tiffania\/2731205209\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3212\/2731205209_6310612eef.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/><\/a>\n<a title=\"Untitled by Tiffany B, on Flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/tiffania\/2732033748\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3077\/2732033748_cda00e4dcb_m.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" width=\"160\" height=\"240\" \/><\/a><a title=\"Untitled by Tiffany B, on Flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/tiffania\/2732032826\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3154\/2732032826_7faa96e071_m.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" width=\"160\" height=\"240\" \/><\/a><a title=\"Untitled by Tiffany B, on Flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/tiffania\/2731202059\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3296\/2731202059_11f06dacbd_m.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" width=\"160\" height=\"240\" \/><\/a>\n\nWe finished off the session at a friend's house of Melissa's mom.
