Photography ~ May 15, 2012

I had this

idea a few months ago.  It consisted of helping photographers, hanging out with awesome people that love doing that I love to do and making new friends.  The idea of a “Coaching” session was born when I realized that I LOVE people and I love photography and this was a way to combine the two! So this past week I was able to host my first coaching session ever! …. and it was awesome! Coaching sessions, for those that missed this post, consist of two photographers coming together for 1/2 a day and just asking ANYTHING. Seriously, I’m an open book. We talked about editing, marketing, branding, shooting manually,

Mandy's Bridals

A Garden Themed Bridal Shoot

In her dress ~ May 14, 2012

I feel like

it was just last month that we were shooting Jill’s Bridal session at the Farm.  It’s crazy how fast a YEAR can fly by! Now it’s Mandy’s turn and I’m SO glad we made this little shoot happen before their big day! It gave me a little taste of what Mandy and Josh’s Wedding was going to be like and I couldn’t WAIT! Mandy’s details were insane! She worked SO hard on her wedding in the midst of Student teaching and graduating and to be honest, I’m not sure how she did it!  Mandy ACTUALLY told Jill and I that she hadn’t really done much for the wedding, just made a few things here and there.

Emy is Graduating!

Virginia Tech Graduation & New Beginnings

Personal ~ May 11, 2012

I remember

this day all too well.  My house of roommates were all emotional. As we approached graduation, our hugs lasted a few seconds longer,  our time at our house became more precious and our “I love you’s” more frequent. We knew the end was coming. The days of sharing clothes, staying up to 3am and cooking “family” dinners were almost over.  My years living with my best friends at CNU were incredible and I’m SO thankful that when my sister went to Virginia Tech, she had the same experience.  Emy found some amazing girlfriends that  changed her life when she came to VT!

Ken + Jessica | Engaged

Va Beach Engagement Shoot

Engaged ~ May 10, 2012

They are one

of those couples that makes your heart melt.  I’m not being mushy and cheesy, I’m serious. I met Jess and Ken at Rebekah and Matt’s Wedding and my first thought was… “Well if they’re friends with Rebekah and Matt, they are probably awesome people!”… and I was right! We emailed back and forth and then set up a time to meet.  They came to my little office and we talked about everything under the sun…including their VA beach wedding that was coming up in June.   They booked and almost instantly, Rebekah messaged me exclaiming how excited she was that I was going to get to work with her amazing friends. You know, when your

Good Things

Cute Bags & A Contest!

Good Things ~ May 9, 2012

I’ve mentioned

before that I’m not really a shoe person. I have HUGE feet and those cute little heels in the window aren’t so cute when they are DOUBLED in size! So because I’m NOT a shoe girl, I have become a Jewelry and a BAG girl!! I love jewelry and I love BAGS!! All types of bags. Big bags, small bags, HUGE bags… Bags are just fun! I love getting a new purse and switching all my junk over and instantly feeling like a new person!!! Please tell me I’m not the only one that gets that feeling.  So today, if you’re a guy and you follow the blog, this post only applies to you if you’re the super sweet type and want to win something for your momma/wife/girlfriend!
