Y’all, it’s that time of year again, the time when you turn the corner only to find another friend or family member has caught something! We all want to know how to stay healthy during cold and flu season! It’s miserable if you’re sick and it’s not an easy job trying to avoid it! So […]

The McIntyres are one of the sweetest, hardest working families I know!

They run a dairy farm nestled into the mountains of southwest Virginia and just this past month they became farm owners of their beautiful farm! I couldn’t be more excited for them!!

I spent the afternoon with them capturing life on their farm milking cows and collecting eggs and just exploring!

Every year I get the privilege to photograph this family and it just gets sweeter and more fun each time! We hung out in the cornfield, checked out the corn to see how ready it was to harvest, then we headed down to the river! The kids fished and skipped rocks and we even roasted marshmallows till the sun was long gone.

I have known this family for somewhere around 14 years. They were one of the very first families I ever photographed way back in 2011 when I was fundraising to move to Peru. (Let’s just say I am SO thankful they gave me another shot because #neverstoplearning haha)

Matt + Alyssa are one of those couples who are a little quiet but their love for each other radiates from their faces. They are so sweet and fun and just absolutely in love with each other. Their joy was so contagious! Plus, there were COWS and hay bales and a gorgeous sunset and did I mention cows?! When I got into the car that night my heart was just so full!

Ana + Taylor’s wedding day was so beautiful but even more beautiful was how full of love the whole day was! They were just surrounded by their friends and family whose love was so tangible!

Ana + Taylor’s lakeside engagement session had to be rescheduled due to weather but when we finally met at the top of the mountain on a brisk November afternoon the sun was shinning brightly!

Lydia’s senior session may have had the most gorgeous golden sunset and a garden full of flowers, but that wasn’t what truly made it so wonderful!

This spring Mike and I ventured into the world of flower farming! Last month I had the idea to open up our mini flower farm on select dates to offer Flower Farm Minis and let me tell you, I am SO glad I did! This is just the first of several farm mini sessions and it was amazing!!
