Lauren + Vandin + Rowan | Edenton, NC Family Photographer

When Lauren asked me to photograph her beautiful family on the water I started to get giddy! Not only are her boys so adorable, but they are such sweet little men. The sunset on the river in Edenton was everything you think of when you think about a southern summer. Even though I got attacked by some nasty fire ants and we braved through the humidity and gnats, the outcome is just perfect!

Jerry + Ryan: Engagement Photos in Edenton| Edenton, NC Photographer

I had so much fun with this couple in downtown Edenton! Since Jerry & Ryan are also volunteers like Josh and I at our youth group (4:Twelve) at Open Door Church, we get to see them pretty often and it really has been great watching their relationship blossom! You can really tell they care for each other a lot! Looking forward to celebrating on their special day in November, I know it will be beautiful.

Ok, maybe we had a little too much fun! Just kidding, these two love to goof around!

To the mountains!

This past weekend Josh and I took a trip to Asheville to see our good friends and also travel to Tennessee to do some taste testing  with our AMAZING caterers (Two State BBQ) for the wedding as well! Even though it was a long drive for a short stay we really had a great time reconnecting with old friends!

On Saturday we went to a local festival where they had vendors, food, music and ethnic dancing by these guys!

After the festival we grabbed some lunch then headed to The Hop West for some sweet treats. Maybe the sugar got us a little silly, but an impromptu photo session occurred. Here is my soon-to-be maid of honor, Bethany’s pensive face!

I really loved walking around downtown Asheville. There is so much life and culture and vibrant people. Here are two I’m in love with!

We drove to get a good view of Asheville and Josh was happy breathing in the mountain air.

Here was our attempt at a “scenic photo”. Josh though it would be funny to try to pick me up and put me on the railing…NOT happening!

On our way home through the winding roads and mountains, we tried again and had a much better result!

Our weekend was a lot of fun! It was our longest roadtrip we’ve been on together and I look forward to more trips exploring our country together in the future!

The Barrow Family spring session {Edenton, NC natural light family photographer}

This little lovely family came to the studio a couple weeks ago for their daughter, Holly’s 6 month photo session! I loved their outfits, just the perfect colors for spring! Funny enough when Ashley called me to photograph her family we found out that we will soon be cousin-in-laws, since my fiancé, Josh is cousins with her husband, Sam. So cool!! This made everything more fun and I really have enjoyed getting to know them more.

Feeling Beachy!

This past weekend was my dad’s birthday and our family decided to spend the occasion at our cottage in the OBX. It was breezy and warm when Josh and I came down and I thought it would be the perfect opportunity for Josh to take some quick new pics of me for my website! He did a great job. Here was my test shot…

I seriously have the sweetest, most talented and smart fiance’ on the planet!! I really believe when you have a strong connection with the person who is photographing you it really shows in photos. That’s why it’s so important to have a meet-up with me before your session!

See, look how awesome he did! We’re so comfortable with each other that it makes the photos look completely natural and fun 🙂

Ok, then things got a little silly….

There’s no denying that I love to ham it up in front of the camera!

I guess I was just practicing for our engagement photos coming up on Thursday! I am beyond excited! Amanda and Brent from Millie Holloman Photography are coming up from Wilmington to photograph us goobers in Edenton. Hopefully I can show you guys some sneak peaks in the next couple of weeks! The wedding is only 187 days away!! Yes, the countdown is on!
