Jen & Brandon ~ Greensboro NC Engagement

Oh these two! Both Jen & Brandon are seriously the nicest & most adorable as they come (as you will soon see in the images below!) As much as I love getting to shoot all around Charlotte for engagements/weddings, it’s always so fun to venture into other areas, towns, and states as you shoot in locations you’ve never been. I love making each session unique and special to each couple, so being in a new location makes it easy to roam around and find beautiful spots to capture in! We started the engagement session off at the Botanical Gardens in Greensboro NC & then ventured into downtown which was close by. We were hoping for a bit *cooler* weather (like it has been recently), but unfortunately the day of our session was about as hot and humid as the summer days were this year. The heat didn’t stop them from being all cuddly and adorable though. Brandon has such a funny sense of humor and made Jen & I laugh throughout the entire afternoon. Both of them truly light up around each other, which is extremely evident in their engagement images. This blog post took me a ridiculously long time to narrow down, too many cute images to choose from! Good luck Jen on her upcoming medical boards (she’s a pediatrician!) Can’t wait for your wedding next year!! Here’s a look at some of my favorites from their session – enjoy! xox

I call this…. the epic movie kiss

They are wearing each other’s school (Jen attended NC State, Brandon Wyoming) – cute huh?:-)

Emily Lapish - You do beautiful work, Alicia!

Hailey ~ Charlotte Senior Portraits

Hailey and I traveled to the fields and farms of Weddington North Carolina for her Senior Portraits! Even though we are rounding the end of the summer, we couldn’t catch a break with the summer heat! She still looks cool, calm, and collected though! I don’t think I could ever look this gorgeous in 90 degree heat. Nope, not a chance. We took a few breathers in the air conditioning of my car and stopped at a few locations we would point out on our drive. Thank you Hailey for being so kind and adventurous with all my crazy ideas! She just started her senior year at Fort Mill High School a few weeks ago, so best wishes for an amazing senior year! Hailey is such a sweetheart and was so easy to photograph! It was really hard to choose my favorites for this blog post! You go girl – keep shining bright! xoxo Enjoy!
