TJ + Sam ✨

Growing up I always cherished time with my cousins. I especially love looking back at old pictures from the 90’s and early 2000’s with all of us crammed into one of our houses enjoying Christmas together.

Now as adults, it’s a different kind of love that you share with your cousins. Our at least I do! One that has grown as you’ve watched them walk their path in life, while you’ve walked yours. Watching them fall in love and experience a relationship. You may not all be as close in proximity like those packed living rooms on Christmas Day, but your hearts stay connected with a bond that never leaves.

When I met Sam at the gym, and I realized this was TJ’s love of his life, I was already connected. I love the heart she has for my cousin and even more so, her. She is a treasure of a woman and I love that she and TJ will be spending the rest of their days together because guess what this sneaky guy did right after the session? 😍💍

They’re getting married!

TJ, it truly blesses me to have a cousin like you.
Sam, I love that we are soon going to BE family!

You + me and a little piece of land. ✨

These two have something special. I met Meg years ago when I was looking for an esthetician. Here we are almost 6 years later and we have grown to be friends (and she’s still my esthetician). She has a heart of gold and to think she’s met this sweet guy who cherishes her for all she is. Nothing like watching your friends fall in love.

With a new home and new baby on the way, this sweet family sure does know how to soak up the in between moments. ✨

Sam & Johnney are some of the most intentional people and friends. At one point during their session we stopped for a bit to just sit, chat, and watch their sweet boys dig in the dirt.

It blesses me to have friends like them.

Their new chapter begins oh so soon as they begin to make this new house their home, and welcome their baby girl!

Yesterday, I looked over at my husband while we were driving and asked him,
"Do you ever look at us and think, 'We really get to spend the rest of our lives together,' and get so excited about it?"

He responded, "All the time. Every time I look at you."

And I haven't stopped thinking about it since. Life moves so quickly. We're usually talking about schedules, kids, work, groceries, and all the things that keep a family running.

But for a moment, kids in the back seat and headed home from running errands, life slowed down a bit. I got to see us not for all that we do, but for what we are.
Two people who somehow found each other in this big world and get to keep choosing each other over and over again.

I think it can become easy to spend so much time looking ahead that we forget to be amazed by what's already here.

So here's your Sunday pause:
What in your life have you stopped being in awe of simply because it's become familiar? Maybe today is a good day to notice it again.

Open skies, mountain views, getting lost on trails.... An engagement session to remember.

Deanna & Austin, veteran AT hikers and kindred spirits, you all made this session one to remember for sure.

I'm always awestruck by our neighboring Blue Ridge Mountain views. We live in such a beautiful place!
