Lynchburg, Virginia Photographer: Casey & Jake's Engagement

There are some seriously amazing hidden places in the Lynchburg, Virginia area! I loooooove finding new and unique places- and was so excited when Casey told me about the Clayton Nature Center in Bedford, Virginia. This place is beautiful and the view is seriously out of this world! It was THE perfect place for their engagement session! 

We had a beautiful day- and Jake & Casey are so cute together! Casey's Mom brought in their cute little pup and she oh was she the perfect addition to our shoot! 

SO excited for Casey & Jake's Wedding next year!! I can already tell it's going to be so much fun!!

Winchester, VA Wedding Photographer: Tim & Mia's Museum of the Shenandoah Valley Wedding

Small, intimate weddings have a special place in my heart! I LOVE walking away from a wedding day feeling like part of the family, and these small weddings make me feel like I've totally grown my extended family! 

Tim & Mia had such a beautiful wedding day at the Museum of the Shenandoah Valley in Winchester, Virginia! This place is BEAUTIFUL and there was an amazing place for photos at every single corner!! It was a photographers heaven! I totally want to go back there for more shoots!! 

This couple is SO sweet and I just loved every moment with them! Mia was so calm and collected throughout the wedding day, probably my most calm bride yet! Tim was super laid back, and was so excited to see his bride walk down the aisle! Ahh! It was the sweetest!! 

They had their first dance as Bride & Groom together right after their ceremony- they talked and laughed through the entire thing- it was so sweet! 

Mia!!! The most beautiful and stunning bride!!!! <3

We then headed down to the Downtown Mall and met up with their adorable little puppy! Oh my goodness- the joy from this sweet little thing! <3 SOOOOOOOO  CUTE!!! 

Mia & Tim then had a nice & quiet dinner reception at a local restaurant downtown, where they cut their cake, enjoyed time with their family, and had a delicious dinner! 

Mia & Tim: Thank you guys SO SO SO much for including me in your special day! I had such a great time getting to know you guys, your family, and celebrate your big special day together! I loved being part of your day and it really was so sweet and special! You two are adorable! Hope you are LOVING married life so far!

Happy Halloween from our Little Mermaid!

We had such a fun weekend- starting with the Fall Festival that Emmie's school puts on! This is always such a blast- and is a really great excuse for the kids to wear their costumes another time! ;) They set up all these fun different stations, have pony rides, face painting, games, snacks, etc! 

Then we went to a friends house and went trick-or-treating! Emmie LOVED it! And pretty much ate her weight in chocolate and lollipops- and still has an entire basket! 

Emmie was SO excited about going to Kaitlyn's house- and she asked from the moment we woke up, through lunchtime and of course, the entire ride in the car to their house. The kids ran to each house and were SO stinkin cute being so excited about all of their candy and costumes!!

Winchester, VA Photographer: Dave & Rachael's Maternity Session

I cannot think of a higher honor than having a former bride ask me to do her maternity photos!! I was so ecstatic when I found out that Rachael was pregnant, and even more so when she asked me to take her maternity photos!! Then, her sister contacted me and offered to pay for her session as her baby shower present! Best sister ever, huh!?! 

It worked out perfectly- I was in Winchester for a wedding, and since Rachael is currently living in the DC area, she met me there! Her Uncle lives out in that area, and knew the perfect little mill area- it was such an amazing location, and the awesome Fall colors just made it magical! <3 Plus, Dave & Rachael just have so much fun together, and we laughed our way through the ENTIRE session!! 

Dave & Rach- it was SO awesome to see you guys again and catch up! I am so unbelievably excited for you guys and cannot wait to snuggle that sweet baby boy!!! Thank you so much for the honor of capturing your most important memories in life!! Let's please get together again SOON!!

Lynchburg, Virginia Photographer: Mike & Emilee's engagement session

Oh man, these engagement photos!!!! I had the hardest time choosing which ones to blog!!
