A Homegrown Love Story This Roan Mountain elopement was an absolute dream. About a year ago, my friend Katy told me she had given my name to a sweet bride and to watch for her inquiry. Sure enough, shortly after that I got an inquiry from Caitlin! She talked about their plans to elope on […]
A Homegrown Love Story One of my favorite things is being a home birth photographer and I am so happy to bring the birth story of Harbor Quinn over to the blog! So, in the past when I have shared birth stories, I’ve written them from my perspective but recently (since playing catchup up on […]
A Homegrown Love Story This Virginia wedding with Matt and Alyssa was an absolutely stunning day. I’m still not sure how it has already been a year since these two got married but here we are getting ready to shoot their anniversary photos in a few weeks (stay tuned for those to make an appearance […]
Since I’m a wedding photographer, it always seems that the births I document happen to be in the fall and early winter. It works well that way. I get my fill of spring and summer weddings then I get a lovely dose of beautiful babies being born in the fall and winter. That’s not to […]
I have known both Evan and Rachel for almost my whole life. Rachel is my cousin and we grew up made three-tenths of a mile from each other. Our families went to church together and were pretty close so we would see each other at family parties/picnics and we sometimes spent the night together. Evan […]
Over the past couple years Heather and Jordan have become good friends. You see, Heather was my neighbor growing up but she was homeschooled so we never knew each other. We both went off to college at Liberty University, still not knowing each other. My dad ran into her dad one day and they realized […]
This year for Father’s Day I decided to go back through all of my photos from the past few months and find my favorites of my favorite three guys…Mike, my dad, and Popaw. These three mean the world to me. They each are so special to me and each have made me a better person […]
A couple weeks ago I got a call that started out a little strange.
“Hi Emily, I have something I need you to photograph but no one can know about it.”
That can only mean one thing….A PROPOSAL!
It finally came! I’ve been waiting for this wedding for nearly a year and a half and now I can’t believe it came and went so fast! I’ve known Traci for gosh, about 12 years now. She started coming to my church with her parents when we 12/11. I remember being afraid to talk to […]
So about a month ago I participated in a traveling Bridal show in Abingdon, VA. The plan was for brides to travel to three different wedding venues in the area so they could tour the venues and meet a handful of wedding venders (florists, caterers, photographers, etc) at each stop. Unfortunately the weather was pretty […]
I’m so excited to get to shoot the wedding of these two in just about 3 months! I first did engagement photos of Traci + Colbey last January so it’s hard to believe that time has flown by so quickly this past year and that their wedding is so close! Be sure you follow me […]
I apologize in advance because this is going to be a long one. When you photograph 24 people AND it’s your pastor’s family (who you’ve known for almost 24 years) it’s bound to happen! My parents started going to LCF Church when I was 2. At the time it was the new church on the block. […]
Alright y’all, I’m bad at blogging. I mean it’s kinda sad because I actually enjoy writing and flipping back through sessions and weddings and reminiscing my favorite moments from the day. I guess I’m just bad at the “making time for blogging” thing. Anyway, so starting today my goal is to blog once or twice […]
