Joanne + Chance | Backyard Engagement

I love Fall!  Living in Florida it is sometimes hard to find the Fall in Fall, if you get my drift..  Falling leaves of rainbow colors and cool breezes are just not around every corner.  Sure a Pumpkin Spice Latte will bring a little Autumn to your day.  There are a few trees, however, that change colors early in the season and have me singing!  I have no idea the name but I do know they always seem to be in private yards or right on the side of the street, never in the middle of a park or convenient photography location.  

When Chance and Joanne said they would an engagement shoot at their home in DeLand I could hardly contain myself to find they have the exact tree that I obsess over!   It was the cherry on top to photographing this sweet couple's engagement shoot.  Joanne has been a longtime friend to my little sister and I am so happy to see her find the man of her dreams.  Not to mention their dream house on a good size of land!  I hope you enjoy their backyard esesh as much as I enjoy Fall and changing leaves (even if they are an odd tropic plant)!  Plus, Joanne and Chance's puppy babies Poco and Smokey stole the show and are just the cutest!
