Gina + Elliot || Say I Do || Home Among the Hills

There’s something to be said about simplicity and sentimentality of joining together as husband and wife in your Grandparent’s home where you grew up, which is exactly what Gina and Elliot did.  They said their I Do’s with their closest friends and family members in a space that encapsulates warm memories and tremendous love. It’s just too sweet to not get a little caught up in.

Charlotte Paige || Oh How You've Grown || Third Birthday

Our sweet little girl, it’s hard to believe you turn three today.  I just laid you down for your daily nap and while I sit here reflecting on all of the wonderful little things I love about my little girl I find myself thankful that 1. I have you and your brother on the same schedule and 2. That I’m fortunate enough to be here everyday with you watching you learn and grow.

This past weekend we celebrated this little man’s first birthday with family and friends. It was such a great day!

Today I will love you a little harder, cuddle you a little longer, and be completely present for you. I’m sure your dad will race home from work by 4:18pm to be here when it is officially your birthday and we will give you your first taste of cake and spaghetti.

Katie and Chris || A Total Win || Charleston, WV

Katie grew up surrounded by sports, her dad has been a coach for as long as I can remember, and of course she married a coach, so it was only fitting that their wedding be sports themed. I know Katie and I had conversations prior to the day where she was worried about pulling this off in an elegant and tasteful way, but I have to tell you first hand that their hard work and effort paid off and their day was beautiful.

When we found out we were having a little boy, I knew even then that milestones like his first haircut would be cherished memories.

So in an effort to preserve those locks just a bit longer, your daddy and I couldn’t help ourselves to do a little styled shoot with you. You’ll look back one day and google search “manbun” and see where we found our inspiration. For just a few more days you’ll be my topknot and someday I’ll get to look back on these playful little images with a smile and all the memories wrapped up into your year with long locks.

2-year-olds are fast… I mean really fast. I know I have one myself. Carter was on the go our whole session, but sometimes that’s exactly what you want. You want your little one to feel comfortable and be themselves, and that’s exactly what I aim to capture.
