So I know I have been pretty much non-existent these last few weeks and that’s because I have been moving. (No worries. I will definitely be blogging about that:)) Even though, I have been painting, packing, and unpacking, which seems to be non-stop, I have taken a few breaks here and there to spend time with my couples. Sara and Sean’s Engagement Session recap is below.

All day her eyes had been dry. She had fought not to cry as her dad walked her down the aisle and when her very soon to be husband teared up during the vows. And she thought she had made it. Then came the daddy daughter dance. The dance where you are being held by the arms of the man who held you and loved you before you could ever walk or talk.

“Savannah, we not only want you to take pictures, but we also want you to enjoy our day, too.” Jessica said as we were finishing dinner and our conversation of the details of their upcoming fall wedding. That day in January wouldn't be the last time I would hear her say that either. Over the course of the next eight months, I would be reminded again and again that I was to have fun as well.

When they both said they worked in the Science/Biology field, I let out a breath of relief.

I met Ashley back at the beginning of this year over lunch. It was one of those lunches where you just didn't want it to end. I could have listened to Ashley talk about Aaron for hours.

Jasmine (aka Jaz). The girl who has honestly done more life with me than most. From Kindergarten at Elkton to Senior year in high school, we probably saw more of each other than we did our own families.

It was St. Patrick's Day, but thankfully they chanced being pinched and wore shades of red and denim. Getting out of the car and spotting these two, I knew that our small town would be the perfect backdrop to Margaret and Drew's session. Our session was full of adventures and we never left Pulaski's square. The various alleyways and unique structures not only provided beautiful portrait composition, but made the session exciting. I loved every minute of our time together.
