The Forresters . South Central Va family photographer

I love this family, Brittany and I met online through a Marine spouse support group, then finally met out in California, I was able to photograph her and Steve in Cali when Keeley and I visited in 2009, then her and Fallyn last year when they were visiting here in Beaufort while Steve was deployed. So it was a lot of fun to photograph them again in North Carolina. I'm hoping they move to Hawaii so I can photograph them there hehe. Here are some of my favorites from their session!

Jen + Chad . Beaufort Sc couples photographer

Seriously how cute are these two!?! I've been impatiently waiting to share these for a while and I'm excited to finally show them :) When I told them I wanted to take them to a dark old building and shine my headlights at them for photos they said sure with no hesitation, my kind of people :) Jen is a great friend, she's the type of friend that will drive hours to come to your kids birthday/your babyshower if only for a little bit just because she knows it will make your day :) Ok enough talking and onto the adorableness that is Jen and Chad :)

Dana & Matt . E Session. Gretna Va Engagement Photographer

I was excited when Dana told me about her idea to incorporate how her and Matt met in band into their engagement photos. I love when people incorporate special things like this into their photos, it helps tell a story. For these two they met Dana's first day in band and Matt was one of her first friends she met in band. A couple of years later they started dating and the rest is history. Here are some of my favorites from the session which ended up being a lot :)

we used the band jacket





I thought the guy running in the background was fun because a lot of people use the track at all times


the grass was so pretty! i miss pretty grass if you can't tell











the only part of the school that is the same as when we went there pretty much, other than the lights under it


I love when clients like my crazy ideas
