Lynchburg, Virginia Wedding Photographer: Sierra Vista Styled Shoot

Busy season is SO much fun... but also so exhausting- and all the extra 'fun' shoots and things get pushed aside to crank out the Fall Wedding Season Photos (and the awesome family sessions too!)  I just delivered my last wedding of 2015, and excited to catch up on some projects and finally get around to editing some of those other sessions! 

At the beginning of November, I had the amazing opportunity to go to a workshop hosted by Megan Vaughan at the beautiful Sierra Vista! It's always so much fun to get together with some other photographers and be able to shoot beautiful people in a more relaxed environment! I got some stunning images and am so excited to share a blog post (ahem, or two! there's a lot of photos!!) 

More from this awesome shoot coming soon- and yes of course some of those amazing mountain views that we all love about Sierra Vista too!! <3

Finding Balance in my small business... & Emmie's Tea Party!

One of the most challenging things about being a small business owner is BALANCE! It's super easy to get caught up with all the work I have to get done- not to mention all the ideas I have to make my business better- those things always get pushed to the back burner until I have some down time! Now, don't get me wrong, I LOVE LOVE LOVE what I do. I am so passionate about photography and forming these genuine relationships with my couples, but I am also quickly learning that I have got to take breaks. My family is always my number one priority.  I'm excited to be sharing more about how we find that balance with owning a business! 

A few weeks ago to celebrate Emmie's birthday, we took her out to the Ploughcroft Tea Room for her first 'grown up tea party.'  She dressed up in an Anna dress and loved drinking out of the China tea cups and putting in sugar cubes!

josh & victoria: lynchburg, va photographer

Ohhhhh yay guys! I am so glad to be sharing some photos from Josh & Victoria's session! Victoria works at The Trivium Estates in Forest, Virginia so we used this time to get some headshots for her, and some photos of her & her boyfriend Josh! Victoria is so awesome- and sparkler exit organizer queen! And you aren't even going to believe me, but she tried to tell me that she was not photogenic at all... which obviously is a straight up lie! ;)

The Fretz Family: Lynchburg, VA Photographer

You guys! Christmas is almost here! And goodness... I am playing catch up with my blog! Sorry, I left y'all hanging for a little while there! Sorry about that! 

I am so excited to share some photos from the Fretz family! They are such a gorgeous family- and such a blast! Their two little ones were so cute- climbing trees, telling me about their amazing backyard adventures & explorations! I met them out at their house and we did all of these photos in their yard! With a yard like this, I'd do every photoshoot a my house! ;)

We went to get a Christmas Tree, and Brought Home...

I was totally expecting to be posting about our trip to the Christmas Tree lot, where we pick out a tree and bring it home to decorate. And, I'm sure that blog post will be coming soon, but not today.  Because we left for a Christmas Tree and ended up bringing home... a puppy instead! Ha! 

Meet... MANNING! (#manningthemutt) 

On our way to the Christmas Tree Lot, we decided to stop in at the Lynchburg Humane Society to love on the cats & dogs there.  That's where we met our sweetest new little guy and couldn't leave him there overnight! So, we brought him home that night! 

He's a mutt and a giant mix... mostly a lot of guesses on our side of things, but nothing is really known! Manning has been a great pup so far- crate trained, so good with Emmie, and full of snuggles!! 

And because Em was so excited about her Christmas outfit she talked Michael into... here are a few photos before we got Manning! 

We are so excited about our new puppy.. .and hopefully one of these days we will actually get our Christmas Tree... and I'll be sharing some photos from that too! ;)
