Jensen Family | Fall Portraits

This fall session is one of my favorites! It was so cold and windy on the day of the session that we almost decided to reschedule. I’m so glad we didn’t though! Our “rain date” ended up being even colder and we had so much fun during the session despite the weather.

Together we decided on the Asheville botanical gardens where the fall colors and beautiful landscape paired well with the Jensen’s love for the outdoors. We saw a handful of people while we were there, all of which were getting their photos taken too! It was nice to know we weren’t the only ones crazy enough to brave the cold.

I had so many ideas for this beautiful family and they patiently humored me with all of them. Here are some favorites of the beautiful Jensen family…

Allen Family

“Loved you then, love you still, always have, always will.”

I love going to the Asheville Arboretum for family portraits because of its relaxed feel and gorgeous views. Prior to this session, I had only gone to the Arboretum during the week and each time was pleasantly surprised to find that my clients and I were some of the few people there. I was pushing my luck to think the same thing would happen for this beautiful family’s session. When I pulled into the parking lot the entire thing was packed! There were people everywhere! I was so worried that there were simply going to be too many people to take the photos I had planned for. I said a few nervous prayers and walked in to do my best. Once again, God provided and despite the number of people the Arboretum did not disappoint! We had a wonderful time basking in the sun and laughing throughout the session. I can honestly say that all of my clients are so much fun to work with but these kids were such a riot! They kept us laughing the entire time!

Rachel & Cameron | Engagement Portraits

Rachel is my soon-to-be sister-in-law and I couldn’t have been more excited when I found out Cameron had proposed to her! These two have such an incredible engagement story, it’s the kind that makes your heart swoon. Cameron spent the summer working at a camp out west, all the while he was cahoots with Rachel’s family planning the perfect proposal. It was so much fun for the family to help plan everything but so incredibly hard not letting the secret slip! Cameron decided to surprise Rachel by coming home a day early… in a tux… with roses. It was all very romantic! And of course Rachel said yes 😉

Duncan Family Session

Tons of fun was had at the Asheville Arboretum during this session and somehow we managed to have the place to ourselves! It was a gorgeous evening filled with sunlight and laughter.

The most treasured heirlooms are the sweet memories of family.

Finnegan Isaac | Newborn Session

“Hold him a little longer, rock him a little more. Tell him another story (you’ve only told him four). Let him sleep on your shoulder, rejoice in his happy smile. He is only a little boy for such a little while.”

My little nephew is such a heart-melter! Finnegan Isaac was born on November 29 and was 9lb and 13 oz of pure joy. I got to capture his newborn photos when he was four days old and he was a champ the entire time! I still can’t get over how perfect he looks with his two older sisters, they’re a little in awe of him and it’s adorable.

Drew & Sarah | Orchard Couple Session

How perfect do these two look together?? Drew and Sarah are seriously the sweetest and were so much fun to photograph. I still can’t get over the fact that we found this gorgeous apple orchard with such bright, vibrant leaves!

Luke & Jamie | Autumn Barn Wedding

The sky was blue, the air was warm and love was all around.

Luke and Jamie’s wedding could not have been more beautiful. They married each other outside as their friends and family watched from seats of hay. The reception took place in a barn adorned with twinkling lights and autumn decorations, it was truly a sight to behold and one of the most gorgeous days I’ve been a part of. Below are just a handful of favorites from their special day!
