I’ve shot in a lot of fields over the past year or so, but none of them can match the one in Will’s backyard. That’s right…this entire session was shot at his parents farm. When I pulled up, it was an idyllic scene. Wide open space everywhere you looked…and his mom planting zinnias in the garden next to their beautiful white farmhouse. And that was only the beginning. As we hopped on their golf cart & started exploring the acres of land, I completely fell in love with the beauty at every turn. Even the snake that paid us a visit as we were trekking up the hill to the green pasture made me smile ( after I squealed like a girl, of course :) Carrie & Will couldn’t have picked a location more reflective of who they are as a couple. They are completely at home with each another. A perfect fit. Between Carrie’s classic beauty & Will’s sweet southern charm, I was in heaven behind the lens. My afternoon with these two reminded me, once again, how lucky I am to do what I do. Can’t wait to head back out to the farm for their wedding this fall.

Thanks to Carrie, Will & Sally the dog for a magical afternoon…

The last time I saw Lindsay & Tyler, their little nugget was still cooking, but he’s finally here & the sweetest little bean you’ll ever meet. They are SO over the moon in love with him & he’s a lucky little guy to have such wonderful parents. Lindsay let me sneak in a few baby snuggles during the shoot & I melted into a gooey puddle. Parenthood truly is the greatest thing on earth…

Welcome to the world, Hayden Graham. You are so very loved.

And Happy 1st Mothers Day to you, Lindsay..xo

Its been a record-breaking month of travel, folks. Interstate 40 has become an old friend I’ve paid a visit to at least twice a week, and April ended with a whirlwind 16 hr. shootfest over the weekend. Wedding season is officially here & 2011 is shaping up to be a spectacular year. I’m working on a post with updates, news & a few fun announcements, but in the meantime I have loads of images to share… so lets start with Liza & David.

I loved spending the afternoon with these two. After months of emails & phone calls, it was great to finally meet in person. Liza chose the NC Museum of Art as our shoot location & even though it was closed when we arrived, we used every inch of the grounds & had an absolute blast together. They are such a fun couple…quick to laugh and beautifully real. They have a playful sweetness that’s so easy to photograph. We talked throughout the entire shoot & I returned to the studio that night to the sweetest thank-you email from Liza. These guys are my kinda’ couple…can’t wait to spend more time with them on their wedding day this fall.

Did I mention Liza is crazy gorgeous? And I’m pretty sure she didn’t have a stitch of makeup on. Yep, I’m jealous…
