Weekend Update || Lynchburg, VA Wedding and Family Photographer

Oh my goodness! We had SUCH a FUN weekend!! It was full of photo sessions- ranging from family, commercial to an engagement session! And on Sunday, we had a fun family day, with church, lunch, and a super-girly birthday party for Emerson. And knowing that this is a short week & I'm working suuuuuper limited hours, I'm so excited to finish up my projects today and take some time off & decorate for Christmas!! YAY! 

Saturday morning's family session was so much fun! Oh my goodness their two boys had me laughing! So full of energy- and we pulled out some potty jokes and got those great, natural smiles that we all love! Look how cute they are! 

Saturday evening, well, more like afternoon now that the sun sets so early, I met James & Tresa at Sweet Briar College, which is about 30 minutes away from Lynchburg. It's always beautiful there, but I was super surprised when I pulled up and almost all the trees still had their vibrant, fall colors! So beautiful & these two are so cute together! Plus, they brought along their puppy, which you KNOW I loved!! 

For Emerson's birthday party, I just grabbed a few cell phone photos- but they girls did mud masks, painted their nails, and did their own makeup and loved every single second of it! They all were talking about how much fun it was, which definitely helped reign my Mom-guilt in for the lack of planning I did during busy season! 

This time of year is so so busy, and it makes me enjoy the downtime so much! I am so thankful for all of my clients that make this so much fun!! Happy Thanksgiving week!! 

Wintergreen Resort Engagement Session || Chase & Courtney

Wintergreen Resort is such a gorgeous spot! I know many people think of this being an area to visit in the winter for skiing or tubing- but goodness this is such a pretty spot in the summer & fall as well! You can't even compete with their overlook- you feel like you can see the entire world from this one spot! 

I was so excited when Chase & Courtney decided they wanted to do their engagement session at Wintergreen! It was perfect with the timing of the leaves changing colors and the stunning fall light! We had so much fun & I loved getting to know these two! They're getting married in 2018 at the Melrose Caverns Lodge in Harrisonburg & I know we're going to have a blast!!

Lake Sherando Engagement Session || James & Claudia

I swear- every year I cannot believe how bold and vibrant the leaves are here in Central Virginia! I love this time of year because the scenery is so different and changes everything! You just have to stop and look at it! Especially those bold orange & red ones! Oh my goodness! 

We so lucked out for James & Claudia's engagement session! They chose to do their engagements at the same place they're going to be getting married at- Lake Sherando in Central Virginia! It's unbelievable how many little spots like this there are around this area that I didn't even know existed! It's so beautiful here and James & Claudia have so many special memories and future plans here! 

These two are getting married this Spring with our associate photographer program and I'm so excited for them! Goodness this is going to be a beautiful spot for a wedding!!

Weekend Update || October Family Sessions & Weddings

It's finally starting to feel more like fall around here, and even though I loooooooove summer and all the fun that comes with it- the cooler temps and golden light sure are a photographers dream!  We had another busy fall weekend, with some family portraits, a gorgeous Trivium Estate Wedding! 

My busy weekend started with the gorgeous Bell Family. I've been getting photos of this adorable family since Mom was first pregnant, so it really is so much fun to see them again each year and how much they've grown! This year, both kids were talking my ear off and it was such a blast! 

Saturday's Trivium Estate wedding was such a blast! I always love shooting at the Trivium- and not just because it's just down the road from our new house- but because it's gorgeous there, and the staff there is SO helpful and organized! Ryan & Andrea's wedding day was no exception and their ceremony overlooking the Blue Ridge Mountains was simply stunning! 

Sunday, we met up with the Smawley Family at Sweet Briar College! We worked with Kristin as our mortgage broker when we bought our house, so it really was an honor to photograph her gorgeous family! 

October is so busy for photographers, but I secretly love it too! It's always so much fun and keeps me motivated and moving!
