Lynchburg Humane Society || Lynchburg Wedding and Portrait Photographer

Have you guys checked out the Lynchburg Humane Society yet? We seriously LOVE it there and are just so impressed with their facility and their seriously amazing staff.  We got our sweet pup from the Humane Society this past winter, (#manningthemutt), and we love visiting and loving on the sweet pets there! Me and Emmie were both SO excited when her class decided to take a field trip there! The first schedule trip got cancelled due to the snowstorm that shut schools here down for weeks.  

The staff and volunteers at the Lynchburg Humane Society are so sweet, they had special activities with the kids and they got to run around and play with the puppies! It really was so much fun! Even if you aren't looking for a new pet, they always love for people to come visit the animals- and they are of course taking donations for food, toys, and blankets for the pets!

Our Snow Weekend- A personal post || Central VA Photographer

I had some seriously excited people in my house this weekend.  Michael & Emmie have been watching & praying for snow so they were THRILLED to see a storm on the radar last week. Meanwhile, I was stressing about the wedding planned for the weekend, but that all turned out okay! ;) 

Emmie COULD NOT wait to get outside, and as soon as we bundled her up (in every single shade of hot pink that exists!! haha!) she ran outside and plopped down into the snow to make snow angels! Her and Manning chased each other around and laughed a little too hard. No, seriously, too hard- it sucks to take all those layers for a potty break! hhahahaha!

Monique & Zoey's Snowy Session: Lynchburg, VA Photographer

Don't say I didn't warn you.. more snow pictures! And I am so excited about these! This family has been good friends with us for a while, but Zoey has NEVER wanted to take pictures for me.  And if she had to take a picture, she refused to smile.  ;) Well, she actually agreed to do some photos and even smiled for me!! 

Lynchburg, Virginia has a million places to do photos, even within walking distance of my house, which is amazing!! We went right around the corner and had fun in the snow! The wind picked up BIG TIME and it was seriously freezing, but these two had the best attitudes! Thank you Monique for climbing the hill and braving the cold snowy day for me!!

John & Shannon: Snow Day Maternity Photos || Lynchburg, Virginia Photographer

I hope you aren't tired of seeing snow pictures yet, because well, I've got a lot more coming! We don't get snow often here, and when we do, well we've got to take advantage of it. On Friday once the snow started I was so anxious to get out of the house and get some photos in the snow! Little did I know, I'd be pretty much in the snow Saturday evening for Mike & Emilee's snowy elopement, and all day Sunday for their wedding ceremony, and Macklin & Shannon's engagement session! I wouldn't trade any of it- even though I do hate the cold- I love the snow!  (well, other than getting stuck Sunday evening and needing a lot of shovels and man-power to get me unstuck! oops!) 

Friday afternoon I put out an alert on Facebook for anyone that could make it to me (regretting that decision to not buy 4wd right about now...) for a quick session in the snow! John & Shannon reached out and met me at a church right across the street from my house! They were one of my very first weddings I shot solo, and are expecting a baby boy soon! I was so excited to get some photo of them and her adorable baby bump!! It was freeeeeezing, and of course it started to sleet right when we got out there, but they were seriously troopers!!

Richmond, Virginia Maternity Photographer: Don & Michelle

There is such a special excitement and joy when working with first-time parents, and this was especially true with Don & Michelle! It was so much fun getting to meet them and take some maternity photos for them! Michelle is seriously just glowing and has such a cute little bump!! 

We met up at the gorgeous Forest Hill Park, in Richmond, Virginia! There were so many beautiful backdrops for photos- we could have walked around all day... except Michelle probably would have killed me since she's pregnant and all! ;)
