It was their sophomore year of college at LSU. Studying Petroleum engineering is no easy task so when it came to school and their curriculum they were focused. So focused, in fact, they didn’t notice they were attending the same classes and events…until CEBA. For the first time they came into contact with each other; they noticed.

Alida + Reid became friends. Living in the same apartment complex allowed them the convenience to study and spend time working on the ever daunting homework assignements in engineering. In the Spring of Junior year, their relationship began. As Alida describes the initial phases, “It was easy. We didn’t have to go through any awkward stages because we already knew each other.” The only risk was the willingness and the potential to lose such an incredible friendship should it not work out. Ultimately, they decided it WAS worth the risk….and it’s a good thing they did! 🙂

They call each other “Nana” and the thing Alida seems to love most about Reid his effort in regards to all the small things…..his sweet thoughts and kind acts, cards for dates, flowers on bad days….even a pumpkin tree for Halloween. 🙂

It was such a pleasure photographing Alida + Reid on the LSU grounds…the place where their relationsip began. We had the most beautiful weather and I’m thankful to be working with such a wonderful couple…..

Alida + Reid traveled all the way from Houston with their beautiful pup, Molly.

This is one of my favorites from the session. The light and the weather was perfect!

🙂 🙂 🙂

I never knew this part of the campus existed…and it’s absolutely beautiful.

Reid always makes Alida laugh.

The light was perfect for making shadows…

Are you kidding me with these beautiful trees? AH!!!

If you’re a believer in kindred spirits, I think Alida + Reid are.

These ducks were NOT afraid to come close. 🙂 Alida + Reid, thanks for a wonderful day!

Have a wonderful weekend!!!!
