This is an extra special blogpost because it’s of photos of my beautiful sister! Over the past year she has worked very hard and changed her lifestyle to get healthy! She’s lost 40 lbs and lots of inches too. It’s been wonderful to see her work hard and fight for her health even when lots of pressures and stresses have challenged her ability to do so! We took these photos in the beautiful Edith J. Carrier Aboretum!

Tony & Jessi – Lynchburg Engagement Photographer

Spring has sprung! We’re truthfully no where near being up to date featuring our wonderful clients on this blog but today I woke up early and finished my two grad courses for the semester. Editing these pictures for a preview was inspiring and so I am happy to share them with you! Can you believe it? Hopefully signs of happy blog posts to come. Tony & Jessi and I worked together to try and find the perfect timing for their session. I think we nailed it! I can’t wait for their July West Manor wedding!



The Wiebe Family – Gender Reveal Session in Lynchburg Virginia

This is one of the most exciting posts we’ve written in a while! This session is a collaboration between me and my wonderfully talented friend Leah, one half of the regeneration team! When I met Leah & Scott they just had one little love bug, now they are adding number four! As soon as I heard God was giving them this new blessing I asked to be a part of their gender reveal! So…here you have it!!

Meet Leah & Scott. They are having a new baby, you’ll meet their three other babies below! I made them stand like this and it was awkward…and super cute.

They make beautiful babies! They have Harper

and Avery

and Rowan!

They are having another baby…and the baby’s name starts with…

Leah and I scoured the internet and brainstormed ways that we could reveal the gender of baby #4. We came up with something we’re both excited about that is very personal to them! Since Leah does beautiful work on repurposing furniture we decided to use this as the way to reveal the gender of their new baby! So we picked a little rocking chair to paint with either pink or blue…

and we got everyone ready…

AND THEN…..revealed!!


That’s right friends, MUSTACHES, all around!

AND…he has a name! The actual prompt for this picture was, who is excited for baby Eliot! (PS. It’s totally natural to respect and envy Leah’s amazing hand lettering skills!)

Congratulations my sweet friends. I am so excited for you and the joy this little man will bring to your family! Thank you for letting me celebrate with you!

Jonathan & Katie – Bristol Wedding Photographer

For the past three consecutive years we’ve made our way down to Bristol Tennessee/Virginia for weddings from the same group of friends. You may remember James & Johnna and Aaron & Ryane. We loved our trip this year for the precious wedding of Katie and Jonathan! They were married on the campus of Emory & Henry College. Such a beautiful place, I highly recommend it! Let us know if you book there we’d love to shoot there again!

Katie and Jonathan decided to see each other before the ceremony. It was precious, intimate and wonderful for us because then we had plenty of time to explore the beautiful campus and take LOTS of pictures!

Such a sweet, happy moment when this dad gave his girl away!

You can’t make this stuff up folks, sunshine filled the room as they shared their first kiss!

 

Riley & Taryn – Seattle Wedding Photographer

It’s been over a year, my how time flies! But these popped up on my radar and I wanted to share them. This was such a beautiful, wonderful experience! I got to travel back to my homeland of Seattle, Washington, see two of my friends from high school and shoot in a new and beautiful place! I got to shoot with beautiful mountains AND on the waterfront. It truly doesn’t get much better! Another fun thing is that at the end of this wedding was the creation of a new family – the Proudsworths! Riley and Taryn combined their last names to create this new monicker, another first for me!
