We Moved! | Personal

Well, life has been a little - scratch that, a LOT crazy lately. We just moved our house and I'm sitting here typing with boxes and bags and tons of stuff surrounding me. The moving process is hard, y'all! But since most of you had no idea this even happened, let me back up and tell you the whole story.

In August of 2014 Nathan and I put our house on the market. I can't believe it's been that long, but it truly has. We had a number of reasons for wanting to sell, none of which had to do with the house - we truly loved where we lived and enjoyed how nice it was (especially for a first home). But we knew it was time to move on so we crossed our fingers, said some prayers, and put it up on the market...

Top 10 Best Places in Hampton Roads for Family & Couple Portraits // Business

Top 10 Best Places in Hampton Roads for Family & Couple Portraits // Business

I hope this blog post is helpful to anyone looking to take family pictures, anniversary portraits, or 'just because' pictures! I will clarify that these are MY top ten places (so far), and I know there are a whole lot more out there that are beautiful! I'll list a few more at the bottom that I know of, but these are definitely my favorite.

Sometimes the biggest hurdle when booking a session is deciding WHERE to take your pictures! It's hard to decide what places are the best for your family, while still being great for lighting and photography. At the same time, you don't want to just go to all the same places you've been to before.

I'm sure I'll update and expand this list as I go, but for now I'm limiting it to the ten best places I've found for pictures (in no particular order) - and examples from each! Hopefully this will be helpful to you as you decide where to go! And if you would love to book a session at one of these or another Hampton Roads location, click here to contact me!

Dylan & Mary Durr // Wedding

I am so blessed to be able to work full-time at a job that I really enjoy! I am even more blessed by my coworkers, who have become like family to me. I have the privilege or working with Tracye every day, and it is beyond wonderful. She's my work mom :) When I found out that her oldest son, Dylan, was engaged, I was SO excited! It was even more exciting to be able to take engagement pictures, and then follow up by shooting their wedding! 

The day of the wedding was beautiful. Mary and Dylan were both SO relaxed, and genuinely just had a great time with their friends, family, and each other.  It was a packed house at the ceremony - so many people had come to wish the couple happiness in their life together!

During their ceremony, Dylan and Mary took some time to pray together privately. I've never seen that - usually it's the unity candle/sand/something else - but I loved it. What a great way to start off a marriage. 

Dylan and Mary - congratulations! I wish you the best life together and all the happiness in the world. Thanks for letting me be there for your special day. It was truly a blessing!

Her brother walked her down the aisle. Such a sweet moment.
