Happy Holidays – Personal

I hope everyone had a blessed, relaxing, and joyful Christmas. I can’t believe New Years Eve is tomorrow night, where did this month go? December has been filled with so many happenings. On these last days of 2013, I’m enjoying looking back on the happy that this year brought. Some highlights include – painting and moving into our new house (as we continue to make it a home), enjoying three years of marriage with Eric by my side, our amazing trip to Europe this past Fall (which I’m posting about soon!), and my rockstar of a little nephew that was born 7 weeks early at the beginning of this month. Not to mention my growth as a person & business owner, the very BEST friends/family anyone could ask for, and really starting to feel like the south is my home. Two years of living here and ya’ll slides easily off my tongue and for this new year I want to perfect the art of biscuit making. I am looking forward to all the growth, challenges, and joys that 2014 holds. I hope you enjoyed this holiday season and find some time to reflect on the past year. I’ll be goal setting for 2014 in the next few days, but for today……I’m going to enjoy the memories and thoughts of the blessings that 2013 surrounded me with.

A huge thank you to Amanda Churchill for the gift of being photographed on my birthday for our holiday portraits. We haven’t taken a “real” picture (besides the iphone snaps) of us since our wedding day, and I will cherish these forever. Since I’m so used to taking other people’s portraits, it was strange being on the other side of the lens after so long! Time seems to fly right by, and it’s so important to capture these moments before more years trickle on by.
I hope to capture “us” and our everyday more often.

Brandon & Jen ~ The Elm Street Center Wedding

I have been SO looking forward to Jen & Brandon’s wedding at The Elm Street Center in Greensboro, NC since our engagement session last year. They are simply a sweet couple – Jen & Brandon have a beautiful calm that surrounds them when they are together. I have loved getting to know them throughout the wedding planning process, and it was really special to witness the support & love from everyone in attendance. There was SUCH an abundance of hugs and happy tears throughout the day and night. I just love when couples incorporate meaningful items into their wedding day. When I looked inside Brandon’s ring the inscription read “Only A Moment” (from Hello Dolly). When I got home I researched the song and was touched by the lyrics I shared below (ridiculously sweet, right? swoon). If anyone wants to have a movie night, I really need to start watching some of these classics. Movies don’t have songs with lyrics like that anymore! Enough chatting for now, I’ll let the images speak of the elegance and heartfelt calm that surrounded their beautiful wedding day. As always, it was extremely difficult to narrow this one down – so many touching moments were shared. A very special thank you to Bethany who traveled to Greensboro, NC with me to second shoot! Thank you Jen & Brandon for allowing me to capture the sweet love you share! xox! Enjoy the little preview into their day!

It only takes a moment
For your eyes to meet and then
Your heart knows in a moment
You will never be alone again

I held her for an instant
But my arms felt sure and strong
It only takes a moment
To be loved a whole life long

And that is all that love’s about
And we’ll recall when time runs out
That it only took a moment
To be loved a whole life long
