Sarah and Brian were SUCH a fun couple to work with! They never stopped smiling and laughing and are one of the most genuinely nice couples I’ve met! I went to high school with Sarah so I was pretty excited when she contacted me after her engagement! We met over coffee to discuss their engagement session location and we decided that Goochland would be the perfect spot of them–YAY! This time of year is, by far, my favorite time for photos so that, on top of my favorite location….it could not have been more perfect! We were a bit worried before the session because it was really cloudy and overcast….this isnt normally a bad thing for photographers, but on this particular day it was just a bit too much. We decided to go ahead with the session and I am SO glad we did! When we got there, it brightened up and we spent the evening taking beautiful pictures. Brian and Sarah, thank you SO much for choosing me as your wedding photographer, I cannot wait until June! I hope you all enjoy your photos until then! 🙂
   I met baby Evan a few weeks ago and he is the sweetest little boy! When I first arrived and set up, he was wide awake. We got a few shots of him before he drifted off to sleep. He was so great to work with and I love every minute of it! I couldn’t believe how much he had grown in just a few short weeks(I saw him yesterday at our viewing session.) 🙂 Thank you so much Paul, Katie, and Donna(the very proud grandmother) 😉 for inviting me into your home to capture the first days of Evan. You have a beautiful family! I hope you enjoy your photos for many years to come!
WOW! What a crazy last couple of weeks it has been! I am still struggling to catch up from being away for vacation…and it will probably take me a couple more weeks to finally get in the swing of things again. So a little recap from our weekend a couple of weeks ago…Kaleigh competed in her first gymnastics meet and she did an amazing job. She wasnt nervous at all and had a big smile on her face the whole time. She ended up getting 1st place on floor, 2nd on??, 4th on ??, 2nd on??, and 2nd all-around! Id say that is pretty awesome for her first meet! Sadly, I cant remember her places on the other events….most likely due to the fact that Carter was climbing all over me and I could not concentrate….ahhh….kids 🙂 Her next meet is not until January, but I am already looking forward to it! We also went to the fall festival at her school and that is always a good time. We spent the whole day out and were exhausted when we got home…our plans to relax quickly changed when we learned that our cruise was leaving a day early. We had to scramble to get all of our things packed and hit the road! It was a LONG day! Im not sure if you all know, but we actually went on a cruise during Hurricane Sandy…we were the ones on the news if you saw…yep…we sailed right through the storm and it was ROUGH. I was uncertain when we left if we had made the right decision by going, but things worked out great and my dad said we made history lol! Unfortunately, everyone did not feel well during the first couple of days, but we managed to get through it! It was so nice getting to spend a few days in a bathing suit soaking up the sun! It was NOT fun coming home to 20 degree weather. I think I spent about 90% of the time eating lol but it was a relaxing time. I didnt have access to the internet for 6 days and had a little anxiety about that. It felt really weird not being connected to the world, but it was a good weird. 🙂 The kids had a BLAST. They loved exploring the ship, swimming in the pool, sleeping in their bunk beds, watching the entertainment shows, and attending the kids program. They made friends, sang karaoke, and enjoyed every moment of the vacation. Carter stole the show from a couple of comedians…he isnt shy at all and just decided that he wanted to be on stage telling jokes. We have some pretty funny video footage to help preserve those memories. We weren’t here for Halloween but the kids didnt seem to mind at all and now I dont have to worry about eating all of their Halloween candy. 🙂 This weekend was Carter’s last soccer game. He did a great job as usual and the boys were all so excited to get their trophies. Jay is planning a pizza party this week for the team so we are looking forward to that! I had a wedding Saturday and the weather was BEAUTIFUL. I really wish we could have a few more days like that. Sunday I spent the day at Maymont doing my mini sessions…those will be coming to the blog soon! It was a weekend filled with shooting, but I am so thankful for the gorgeous weather we had. OK!

I am SO excited to finally be able to share these! These last couple of months have been unbelievably busy and I am so thankful for my patient clients. I cant imagine how anxious they must be to see their photos, and I hope they are worth the wait! 🙂 You may remember Luke and Jennifer’s engagement session I did in the fall of last year…..we had such a great time! And this past summer, Jennifer had her bridals done….she looked amazing! I knew that they would be a fun couple to work with and I was really looking forward to their wedding! The day started out beautifully. The sun was shining, the weather was warm, and everyone was so happy and cheerful. We were lucky enough to get through the ceremony and photos before a HUGE storm came through. Unfortunately, we were outside under a tent when it happened and things started flying everywhere! It was actually a bit scary for a few minutes….especially when my dress decided to fly up(I learned an important lesson that day…..biker shorts….) :/ Hollie if you are reading this and laughing right now, 😛 Haha! But the storm didnt stop the fun! It died down after a while and an amazingly beautiful DOUBLE rainbow shown clear across the sky after the storm. I dont know what else could have been more perfect on their wedding day! THANK YOU Jennifer, Luke, and all of your family and friends for a fun filled day. It was an honor to be a part of your special day and I hope you enjoy your photos for many, many years!
