Halloween 2017 || A personal post

Our Halloween was so much fun this year!! We were so excited to go trick-or-treating in our new neighborhood! Meeting some new neighbors, and visiting with some of our favorites that we've already met! 

Most people know that fall- so September, October, and November are by far my busiest months- which means that fun things like Halloween costumes get forgotten about until a few days beforehand! Thank goodness for amazon prime- came through for Emmie's unicorn request! Throw on a headband with a horn, some hair glitter, and a tutu and you've got yourself a unicorn costume! Just call me Martha Stuart. (It also should be noted here, that I have zero idea if this is something Martha Stuart would be good at, but it does seem like that would be the case, right? haha!) 

We had a group of friends come over for dinner, spiked cider, and then we set out! Seeing the kids running from house to house and showing off their bags of candy brought back so many fun memories! And if you see in that last photo of our family you can kinda spot my 19 week baby bump.  I need to be better at taking more photos of this growing baby!!

Lynchburg Family Photographer || Smawley Family

Oh I'm so excited to share the Smawley's family photos! Kristin was our mortgage broker, and a HUGE  help to us when we bought our new house recently.  I was super excited when she contacted me needing some updated family portraits! Their family is so busy with football & work & life, so it's such an honor they took time off to spend with me for their photos! 

We met up at Sweet Briar College- which is such an amazing gem in the Lynchburg area! I love the history and character that all of the buildings offer! The Smawley Family wanted a rustic, barn feel, and I knew the Sweet Briar Dairy Barns would be the perfect fit! They're a gorgeous, worn white barn surrounded by open fields and wooden fencing!

Lynchburg Family Photographer || The Bell Family

I don't always photograph families, which is one of the reasons I especially love this season! All the families I get to document! Especially when it's a sweet family like this one! And it's always such an honor when families come back year and year! I love seeing much the kids grow and change over the year! The Bell family is so sweet & I loved getting together with them locally here in the Lynchburg area to update their family portraits! I'm so excited to share these photos from their family session! 

Trivium Estate Wedding || Lynchburg, VA Wedding || Ryan & Andrea

Oh these fall wedding days are so beautiful! The weather for Ryan & Andrea's Trivium Estate Wedding could not have been more perfect! It truly was the most gorgeous day- their ceremony overlooking the Blue Ridge Mountains with the sunshine and the leaves starting to turn! 

Ryan & Andrea were so sweet & so excited to be getting married! They did a no peek around the corner that was so sweet and you could just tell how much they really wanted to turn around and see each other, but the moment when Ryan saw her walk down the aisle was so worth it! 

 

 



 

 

Weekend Update || October Family Sessions & Weddings

It's finally starting to feel more like fall around here, and even though I loooooooove summer and all the fun that comes with it- the cooler temps and golden light sure are a photographers dream!  We had another busy fall weekend, with some family portraits, a gorgeous Trivium Estate Wedding! 

My busy weekend started with the gorgeous Bell Family. I've been getting photos of this adorable family since Mom was first pregnant, so it really is so much fun to see them again each year and how much they've grown! This year, both kids were talking my ear off and it was such a blast!

Saturday's Trivium Estate wedding was such a blast! I always love shooting at the Trivium- and not just because it's just down the road from our new house- but because it's gorgeous there, and the staff there is SO helpful and organized! Ryan & Andrea's wedding day was no exception and their ceremony overlooking the Blue Ridge Mountains was simply stunning! 

 

Sunday, we met up with the Smawley Family at Sweet Briar College! We worked with Kristin as our mortgage broker when we bought our house, so it really was an honor to photograph her gorgeous family! 

October is so busy for photographers, but I secretly love it too! It's always so much fun and keeps me motivated and moving!
