This past weekend was a woodland fairytale wedding!!  Mary Claire & Brandon had such gorgeous day!  The weather was beautiful and the company was even better!  I hadn’t seen this couple since their fall engagement session and I couldn’t wait for them to get married.  They have known for years that this day would happen and both of them were filled with so much excitement!

Virginia has been super confused about the seasons lately, but we finally had amazing weather this past weekend!!  Still a little on the chilly side, but the sun was shining and we were not complaining!!  I got to meet up with Cory & Stephanie at Stephanie’s family farm to take their engagement photos and it was perfect!  As soon as I turned on that gravel driveway, I knew these were going to be my kind of people!

We’re back!!!  Wedding season has officially begun and we could not have had a better couple to kick it off with!  At the beginning of the day, I was told there would be a lot of happy tears and every one was right!  From the first look to the sparkler exit, tears of joy were flowing!  Everyone was so excited that Anna & Joey’s wedding day had finally arrived.  

Last week, I got to meet a beautiful little girl who was only 5 days new!!  Miss Lillian was just so sweet & sleepy.  She could not have cared less about us moving her around, wrapping her up, unwrapping her, or anything else.  We were laughing at how chill she was!!  Having 2 kids of my own, my main advice is to soak that time up because it will change…quickly.  

First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes baby in the baby carriage!  Marc & Laura are good friends of ours and also one of our couples from 2016.  We just love these two and loved getting to be their wedding photographers!!  When we found out they were pregnant – I screamed!!  All of our friends were over the moon excited for them!

Before I even met Devin, when we had only talked through email, I could tell I was going to like this girl!  We instantly felt like friends.  Once I met she & Sean and heard their story, I became even more excited for their wedding day!  First, we needed to take engagement photos, and we started these at the very place their love began.

What better thing to do on this snowy Wednesday than look at photos of a sleeping newborn?  Warning:  This post may make you want to curl up on the couch and take a nap.   I feel like that almost every time I edit newborn photos.  Connor is NO exception!!  This sleepy little boy was just perfect for his session, at only 6 days new, and loved being snuggled up tight. 

Happy First Day of Spring!!  It is still cold, rainy, & gloomy so I thought I would brighten up the blog with some pretty pictures of flowers! Sound good? I love flowers and I believe they can brighten up any space.  They can take a room from ordinary to extraordinary.  You can change the feel of an event simply by adding flowers!   They are also very important to brides.

It’s been a few weeks since I did a blog post….that’s “off season” for ya!  We have been soaking in lots of family time and loving every minute of it!  You know what else I have been loving – baby snuggles!!  CGP has had so many newborns the past couple months that I haven’t even had a chance to blog all of them!  Waverley was born a couple weeks ago and I fell in love!

I told you that newborns were taking over the blog the next few weeks and I was not lying!  Y’all…I am loving all these baby snuggles!  This newborn was extra special, too, because I have been photographing the Taylor family for years!  You may remember their family session last year involving the chickens?  This was their first time doing newborn photos in their home, though, and we had a great time!
