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.

Spending the evening with Crystal and Greg was like hanging out with old friends. Even though we met for the first time the evening of Crystal's maternity session in Pisgah National Forest, by the end of our hike I felt like I'd always known these two.
A last minute thought just as I was leaving my house before the maternity session, I grabbed a piece of lace which had belonged to my grandmother. I had a vision of Crystal holding it wrapped around her baby bump on top of the mountain. I positioned Crystal in the perfect spot and turned to get set up for the shot. When I turned back around, a cloud had rolled through and Crystal looked like she was glowing through! The weather can change in the mountains so quickly, and this moment in the cloud made for a beautiful capture.
I wish the best of luck to Crystal and Greg on their new adventure with their first little girl!
LOVE IN SAVANNAH WITH A SURPRISE PROPOSAL
Every corner I turned in Savannah was a glorious new sight for a photographer's eyes. Color, texture, and light peeking through the historic buildings made me so excited! White jasmine climbed over walls with the most amazing smell. I picked some jasmine and combined it with some other local florals to make my sweetest smelling flower crown to date. Beautiful mom-to-be Sarah, her precious daughter Vada, and Joey with a surprise up his sleeve joined me as we walked through downtown Savannah. Expecting their new little girl to arrive soon, Sarah wanted photographs taken in Savannah as it is a special place for them. Joey had his heart set on proposing in the park - our last stop of the evening. He stayed calm and collected, but as we neared the park, his pace grew a little bit faster. We picked an open green secluded area, with stunning Southern Oak trees framing the scene. I couldn't stop smiling waiting to hear Sarah say "yes". She was so surprised and happy! The only thing that could top this moment was when Joey then turned and gave Vada her very own ring. Best job in the world to be able to capture special memories like this one. I can't wait to meet your new little girl! She sure is lucky to have you all for her family.
