Daniel & Tammy’s engagement session was so much fun! I loved getting to know both of them and hearing their plans for their wedding day! Tammy works at The Virginian Hotel, so naturally they decided to do their engagement session here! It’s so beautiful and it was even more special knowing the connection!
Their laughs are contagious and we laughed so much through their session! My favorite kind of engagement sessions! Can’t wait for their wedding day!
Taking a break from sharing photo sessions and sharing 5 things I cannot live without! I always love hearing about what other people are loving, and I have some things I seriously loved the heck out of in 2019, so why not share! I use these each at least every single day!
Disclaimer: A few of these have discounts with my links, and others are just things I legit love!
1- Rothy’s
Oh my gosh- I freaking am obsessed with my Rothy’s. What started out as a single pair of shoes to help my poor feet at weddings has now turned into multiple pairs, different styles, and colors, and I am still just as in love with them! They are a sustainable shoe made from recycled plastic water bottles. I know- it sounds bizarre and no way they can be comfortable… but they’re magic and super comfortable- plus- THEY ARE WASHABLE. No more stinky flats after a long, hot summer wedding!
A few tips… I size up half a size, make sure to NEVER dry them, and prepare to be obsessed! (I love the loafer style the very best!)!

2- Ice Roller
I know, I know, this is so ridiculous. But I love using my ice roller! Every morning, after I make my cup of coffee, I pull it out of the freezer and it feels sooooo good! Plus, I can use as much help as possible to try to depuff my face and look less tired! ;) I got mine on Amazon, and bought one for all the people I love this year for Christmas!

3- Chat Books
My family LOVES these little books so much! They print automatically from your camera roll, your instagram account, or you can manually upload and have them printed! They’re super affordable, have a replacement policy if your crazy kids accidentally destroy them, and are a great way to look through your memories and photos! I’m such a fan of printing your photos and love that the kids can look through them over and over again and I don’t have to worry about them!

4- Honeybook
I’ve talked about Honeybook before, but it’s worth bringing up again and again! It’s the program I use to keep track of my current clients and projects, invoices, payment reminders, contracts, calendar, and more! It’s helped streamline my booking and contract process SO MUCH! If you are dealing with client projects, this is a must have!!

5- Ninja Foodi
Guys. This is probably my most favorite purchase of 2019. I am not exaggerating when I say that this has completely changed our dinner game. The Foodi is an instant pot, air fryer, crock pot, steamer, and more in one! I have wanted an instant pot and an air fryer, but do not want all the machines. This is AMAZING! I cook in this at least once a day, even usually every meal! We love brussel sprouts and sweet potatoes, pork chops with green beans, soups and chilis. Literally. EVERY single meal!
We got ours at Target on Black Friday, because #redcard for an extra % off! https://www.target.com/p/ninja-foodi-tendercrisp-pressure-cooker-op301/-/A-53653982
My last wedding for 2019 and oh my goodness was it an AMAZING day! Jesse & Lilya had a small, intimate wedding at The Virginian Hotel in Lynchburg, Virginia. I LOVE this venue so much- it’s so helpful to have your getting ready space, ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception spaces all in one area!
Jesse & Lilya were so sweet & so super laid back! I loved their family and friends that all came in to celebrate this sweet couple! Jesse & Lilya had a small, intimate wedding day, and didn’t need a full day of coverage, but instead an elopement style package! The perfect amount of time to get some getting ready moments with her bridesmaids through dinner and cake cutting!
Thank you to the amazing vendors that made their day so wonderful!

Oh I have been so excited to share Emily’s bridal portraits with you guys! We took these back when hurricane Florence was hitting the east coast, and everyone’s wedding and portrait plans got thrown for a loop! So we last minute changed up some plans and took her bridal portraits at The Virginian Hotel in downtown Lynchburg.
It was THE perfect place for her portraits- Emily made such a classy bride- the marble staircase at The Virginian was just the perfect backdrop! AND the rain held off so we were able to head outside for a few, and explore some of the other rooms in Virginian (how cool is their library?!)
Thanks again Emily for trusting me with these portraits for you! You are such a stunning bride!
