The Blue Ridge Parkway offers my favorite backdrops! We lucked out with beautiful sunlight on the evening of Yasmin and Caleb’s mountain top maternity session. Yasmin connected with me through instagram months before our session together. Her early planning paid off and we shared a gorgeous hike in celebration of welcoming a baby girl into their family.

A mixture of clouds and sunshine graced us for an adventurous engagement engagement session in the Blue Ridge Mountains. We rode up the mountain together, a place they both call home, and I had the pleasure of getting to know them better and hearing their love story! We took in the views of the Blue Ridge together and splashed around in a waterfall, all while documenting their sweet engagement story.

I mean… it’s hard to beat a gorgeous mountain sunset hike with the sweetest couple who is adorably in love. Add in their precious, well behaved pups adorned with beautiful floral wreaths made by Petal and Fern and there you have it - the perfect evening! Hannah and Nate brought a friend with them to help with the pups so they could also have some portraits with just the two of them. They danced on the mountain top together as the sun set behind them. They grew up hiking this mountain and now have beautiful moments captured in a place that’s special to them.

I can remember nineteen years ago when my parents would have friends over for “Survivor” night parties to watch the show together. I invested in a one-on-one mentor session with Julia Sears, a photographer I greatly admire, and she goes to “Survivor” night parties since she’s friends with a cast member! So fun that she invited Chris and his beautiful fiancé, Kate, for an engagement session in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Julia let me pick her creative brain and spent a generous amount of her time with me.
BLUE RIDGE MOUNTAIN | FAMILY + SENIOR SESSION
Graduation deserves to be celebrated! This family picked the perfect location to reflect their love for the outdoors and adventure and document senior pictures before graduation. I wish this style of senior pictures had been a thing when I graduated high school! We hiked Black Balsam Knob just in time to catch a gorgeous sunset with phenomenal views of the Blue Ridge Mountains. After an awesome hike, they had pizza waiting for them in their car! I knew I liked this family right away and the forethought to pick up a pizza solidified it!
