Christine + Greg - Elon University Engagement Session

Christine and Greg are getting married this weekend at King Family Vineyards!  I can't wait!  These two met as undergraduates at Elon University, so when they found out I live only 15 minutes from campus they were super excited to schedule their engagement session there. In early April, they drove down from Virginia and made a weekend of it.  One of their favorite locations at Elon is the fountain in front of the Alamance Building, so we started off there.  Its such a beautiful campus & we had such a great time. And Christine wore burgundy - a school color!

Like me, Christine is also from the Charlottesville area, so we had that connection too. Her family still lives close to where they are having their wedding this weekend & at one of my favorite Virginia vineyards. You can't beat the view there and the weather is going to be sunny and in the low 70's. So excited for these two & looking forward to seeing them again. Stay tuned for a blog post featuring their wedding in the coming months, if not weeks!

Joe, Meredith, Baby A, + Grandparents: At Home Family Session

Earlier this winter I had the absolute pleasure of photographing one of my former wedding couples, Joe and Meredith, their 6 month old daughter Baby A, and her grandparents.  We met in the client's home for a 2 part session, which means we scheduled an hour session on one day and I came back for another hour session a week or so later.

Baby A is such a sweetheart and 6 months is such a cute age. She was just starting to sit up & was all smiles. What a sweet baby girl and I absolutely adore her parents! It was nice to see Meredith's mother and father again too.  They are such good people & welcomed me into their home.

Joe & Meredith's wedding can be viewed here and we also did their engagement session a month or so before their wedding.  Its been wonderful capturing so many of this family's important memories and we are already planning another session around Baby A's 1st birthday in August.  I've enjoyed being back in touch with Meredith and Joe and hope that we continue to do so!

Shannon + Brandus - Lakeside Engagement Session

Lake Mackintosh was the setting for Shannon & Brandus' engagement session last month.  We were all thrilled we had a mild day and still touches of fall color that afternoon when we got together. Shannon & Brandus brought their adorable dogs along that day & they really enjoyed the park and the session just as much as their humans!  It was fun getting to know these two better and learning a little more about their upcoming late summer wedding at The Burke Manor Inn.  Looking forward Shannon's bridal this summer & to their upcoming wedding day in September 2017. It won't be long!

A High Point Family Session - Bob, Elizabeth, + Children

At last, I can share these from Bob & Elizabeth's family session!  I had to wait until after Christmas as they were giving many as gifts to their family!  We got together last month on a beautiful fall afternoon in their neighborhood for their session.  Joining us was their newborn Bea (she's two months old now!) and her two older siblings, Sierra & Joey, who were such great sports and a big help with their little sister. I've known Bob & Elizabeth for several years now and they are such good people.  Ever since learning that they were expecting, I've been so excited for them! Bea is so precious & such a pretty baby girl. the day of the session was my first time meeting her. Each time I see her, she's grown some more! I look forward to more opportunities photographing Bea & her family again.   I am so grateful for clients and friends such as Bob & Elizabeth - they were a joy to work with and just so appreciative.
