We finished up our 2018 wedding season on Saturday and it was the perfect wedding to end the year on.  Stephanie & Cory had a beautiful and classy Christmas wedding!  All day long, Stephanie would stop and say how much fun she was having or how excited she was.  The dark skies and rain made it gloomy outside but you would have never known because she was a bright light all day!  

Happy Friday!  It has been a minute since I did a blog post – sorry about that!  I literally have so many sessions and so much preciousness to share with y’all though.  I had to prioritize the most important things while I was in the thick of the busiest times so, family things came first and then session & editing took over the rest of the time.  Blogging had to take a step back the past couple weeks.  I have SUCH incredible clients and I got to take so so so many great pictures for amazing people over the past couple months and I can’t wait for y’all to see more soon. 

Let me start this post by just saying how happy a session like this one makes me!  Carley & Nic are one of my wedding couples.  I got to take their engagement photos and then their wedding photos! It was such a fun time working with them throughout that entire year and now…now they are pregnant!!!  

Today’s blog post is covered in fall leaves and beautiful people!!!  Greg & Sinclair’s engagement session  was a ton of fun and RVA was really showing off for us that evening.  The weather was perfect, the sun was shining, and we had a great time.  But what I really want to tell you about it this happy couple…and how burritos play a role in their love story.  That’s right…I said burritos.

Let me introduce y’all to Kara & Nick!  They are one of our 2019 couples – which you are meeting a lot of lately and it doesn’t stop with them, that’s for sure.  Kara and I became instant friends when we realized that we both are died hard OTH fans.  If you don’t know what that means then…you don’t get us.  Kidding.  Kind of.  Look it up. 

If you saw these two and thought that may look familiar, that’s because we photographed their wedding back at the very beginning on September!  Meagan & Roc’s wedding was amazing and SO much fun!!  However, with work and busy summer schedules, the Barber’s asked about doing a couples session after the wedding rather than an engagement session.  I had never done that before and thought that sounded like such a fun idea!!

I’m so excited to introduce you all to another one of my 2019 couples – Bill & Emily!  I couldn’t wait to meet these two!!  I felt like I knew them already since I have been chatting with Emily for months now.  We met up in Richmond by Browns Island early on a Sunday morning, which was the perfect option because it was not crowded at all!  If you’re familiar with the area, you know how rare that is.  So if you ever need to do a session there, try it around sunrise.

Let me introduce you to another one of my amazing 2019 couples – Chris & Lisa.  I got to hang out with them on the perfect fall evening for their engagement session.  We met up in historic Old Town Petersburg, which I just love, and walked around finding the cutest spots!!  Lisa and Chris met […]

Happy Monday!!  Rainy, gloomy Monday.  I don’t hate it though.  I love a good rainy day.  Especially when you can sit on the couch with your coffee and a Hallmark Christmas movie playing.  That is the BEST kind.  That also happens to be what I am doing as I type this blog post right now.  I want to brighten up your rainy day, though.  Well…not me exactly, but Sydney & Tyler can!  

Let me interrupt wedding/engagement season with — a newborn session!!!  A couple months ago, I met Kaitlyn and Chris to take their maternity pictures.  In that moment, I’m sure the thought of meeting their son still felt surreal.  Having your first child is something you can try to prepare for as much as you want, but you are never truly ready for that moment.  You know the one…
