No frills. No stress. Just two people madly in love, saying yes with the mountains as their witness! 🌄✨

This New River Gorge elopement was lovely! NRG never fails to show off, but it’s the way these two looked at one another that really stole the show!! Elopements like this remind us that your celebration doesn't have to be loud and grand, as long as your love is!

If your heart’s set on a wedding day that’s quiet, honest, and deeply you- the Gorge might just be the perfect place and we might just be the photography team for you!!

Wild and free at heart couples, the Gorge is calling! And we'd be honored to tell your story there!

A New River Gorge Engagement 🌄

These two met us early yesterday morning with sleepy smiles and ready for an adventure!

They laughed, danced, and braved the edge of the cliffs together, and it felt like watching one of those romantic movies that makes your heart all giddy inside.

Congratulations on your engagement Paulina & QSi, and thank you for allowing us to capture your GORGEous love at the NRG. Yes, I went there 😆

Sweet Baby Wrenlee!
Precious, strong, and a reminder that we serve a faithful God. 🤍

Oh, what a joy it was when her grandmother reached out to me to ask if she could gift her daughter with the Year in the Life Experience!

After hearing a little about Wrenlee and her story, I instantly knew their precious little family would be a perfect fit for YITL!

To protect baby's privacy, I won't be sharing her face, but with her parent's permission, I will be sharing more about this baby, her family, and God's amazing work in their lives on the blog soon!

Stay tuned! You really don't want to miss this.

A little earlier, I shared a reel about celebrating milestones! Why is it important?

Well, because life moves fast and there is no pause button. Change happens so quick, and once the moment is gone, it's gone. When you remember that life and the people in it are precious, you will remember that it's worth being celebrated!

This little sweet girl's name is Lovi and she is now six months old! I've documented the longing of her arrival to this sweet little milestone!

It's such a wonderful feeling when families choose me to document milestones big and small alike. I am incredibly grateful for this business, for the clients I am blessed to know, and how I get to witness the growth and change within their lives. Such a beautiful experience that I will forever be grateful for!

Just a little reminder for you today:

Cherish the moments, celebrate them, document them! Let them live on!
