Bruback {Maternity}

2016-04-25_0001

If you don’t know Jena, then you should.  She is so fun and not to mention extremely talented, Aaron isn’t so bad either!  Jena contacted me back in the early fall to set up a baby announcement session (which one of their images was later featured on The Bump), and we discussed scheduling their maternity session as well.

I love that Jena wanted to have baby daddy Aaron in some of the shots as well as do some of just her and that beautiful bump.  We were chatting about different ideas and dates (we both work in the wedding industry so schedules are a little crazy) and finally settled on a Sunday afternoon.  Jena had posted a picture from a baby shower with her wearing the most gorgeous maxi dress and my wheels started to turn.  I had it all pictured in my head and was just hoping she would be game, of course she was because she is super cool, duh!

We started with her and Aaron and then made our way to another location for the rest of the session.  I discovered this place one day while driving down the street with my precious kiddo in the back and thought, “this could be cool, hopefully I don’t die driving down this dirt road”! It was the perfect spot for this maternity session.

Jena didn’t hesitate at all and the images are some of my most favorite ever! I hope if you are expecting you take the time to and make the investment for maternity photos.  It is such a special, special time!  I hope you guys enjoy!

Maddox Akers Martin {Gender Reveal}

2016-04-04_0001

If any of you know my family you know we don’t do anything halfway… so when it was time to find out the gender of Baby Martin we knew it had to be HUGE!

Kamille is the co-owner of BettsMade and had the vision for her reveal party ready to go.  The overall theme was “Dream Big Little One,” and it was shown throughout the party decor. My parent’s property is the perfect location for any party so this was a no brainer.  It would be a backyard party for close friends and family.  Kamille has known for the longest time how she wanted to do the actual reveal and it was just spectacular… FIREWORKS!!!

The day before the big party Kamille and Brennon went to the doctor and the ultrasound tech sealed the important envelope for the reveal party.  Appetizers were ready for guests when they arrived and played corn hole on the lawn.  My parents had the shrimp boil cooking up on the back patio.  After everyone was full and the sun had set it was time for the fireworks show.  Kamille and Brennon’s good friend Patrick was in charge of the announcement.  He took both boxes of fireworks down by the lake and opened up the envelope to find out if they would have a little boy or girl.

It was the most fun reveal I’ve ever witnessed! The sky lit up PINK to let us all know Baby Martin was a little girl and Kamille and Brennon’s reaction was the BEST ever!

Maddox Akers Martin is so loved and we can’t wait to meet her in September!

Emily {Bridal}

2016-03-23_0001

 

I have been so excited to share this beautiful bridal session since the day we shot it.  It was a crazy day, but I am so pleased with how they all turned out.  The weather forecast showed sun and zero percent chance of rain all day so we were ready for a fabulous outdoor session.  As soon as Emily arrived at Greystone the skies turned black, thunder starting to roll and lightening filled the sky.  Not much longer did the rain start! Are you kidding me?  She had her hair and makeup beautifully done and a thunderstorm just popped up out of no where!

We kept checking the radar and it looked like it would pass before it was too dark for pictures so we sat there fingers crossed and just waited, and boy did it pay off!  We had the most beautiful skies after the storm passed.  I was prepared with white sheets and shower curtains to place under Emily’s gorgeous Maggie Louise gown in order to keep it in perfect condition.

Emily wore her mother’s veil for the first part of the shoot and then switched it up a little with a dreamy flower crown from Holliday Flowers and Events.  We had the best time trekking around the expansive property chasing that beautiful light.  I hope you all enjoy this session and consider a bridal session for yourself.  It is a great way to trial run for the wedding day, and who doesn’t want to dress up in their wedding gown more than once?

Kayla+Matt {Engaged}

Kayla and Matt are getting married this coming April!!! We shot these wonderful engagement pics back in October and like I said, I am playing catch-up with all my blog posts and here we are.

Kayla wanted a specific look for this session.  She wanted outdoorsy with a field with high grass, so I found just that.  Her grandmother made the amazing tulle skirt she is wearing in the sunset images at the end of the post and it was SPECTACULAR!

We had the best time together and I am so excited to be joining them on their wedding day! Enjoy Kayla and Matt’s beautiful engagement session!
