2017 has gotten off to a wonderful start! Frank and Chloe got married at the Dairy Barn in Fort Mill on February 4th. If anyone remembers, it was is the 70s the week leading up to the wedding, but it was a chilly 40 degrees on that Saturday! Sometimes the cold will turn noses and cheeks red while shoulders stiffen from the shivers. Thankfully, that wasn't the case with this gang! They all stayed warm together (with maybe a little wedding adrenaline) and we made some magic! We love the winter feel from these photos - gorgeous light + happy people = perfection!

Milky Way sightings up ahead!

This was the first time I (Jennifer) ever saw so many stars. To see the Milky Way was somewhat unreal. When your eyes are beginning to adjust, it seems as if there's some kind of foggy stripe going across the sky. After looking more intently, you can begin to see individual stars. AMAZING.

Meet the Kline family!

I have known Kaylea and her family for over 17 years! Her family started attending the same church in 1999, and we became great friends with her family. I have hundreds of great memories growing up with them in South Western Missouri! Some of my favorites were our camping trips and patriotic events. And of course, all the caroling we did in little towns, Christmas parties, and so many other memories to be thankful for! 

We were so happy to capture their little family on a beautiful late, fall day. 

Dan, thank you for your service, your sacrifice, and your courage to defend this great country.

We have a new personal rule: We are not allowed to travel to beautiful places without booking a photo shoot. Next time, we'll let people know our travel dates! Jon captured some KILLER landscape photos (this post is just part 1), and we'd love to meet new people and photograph them in places like these.

Colorado is such a  beautiful frontier! We LOVED exploring Colorado together! My birthday is at the end of October, and Jon had been mentioning that he wanted to take me on a trip for my birthday. Like any traveler-adventurer-explorer-the-best-deal-finder-husband, Jon found incredible prices on Frontier flights to Colorado for $85 (round trip, direct flight). YES, PLEASE.

Pumpkin pie, sweet potato casserole, green been casserole, stuffing, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, hot rolls, apple pie, chocolate pecan pie, ice-cream, oh, I almost forgot, Turkey and Ham! Thursday was a GOOD DAY!

In all seriousness, Thanksgiving has us very grateful this year as this is our first as a married couple. Time has gone by fast, but God has been incredibly busy in our lives.

What would I say? How would I feel? What on earth would I do? Or how would I really respond in the moment?

Those were the questions that occasionally flooded my mind over the past 10 years. I mean that in all seriousness! My only dream, desire, and aspiration was to be a wife and a mother. Like many other girls, I would sometimes imagine what those moments would be like. THE PROPOSAL.

Meet the Cramond family!

David, Cindy, and Aly were such fun. These three are a blast to be around, and watching their interaction was something special. Aly is a student at UNCC [yay 49ers!] and commutes to class just like I did. It was fun catching up on UNCC topics and getting to know the family better.

As you'll see from the photos, they have a closeness that you don't see too often these days. It was truly a pleasure to capture their family! Enjoy!

It's finally Fall, and we couldn't be more excited! We kicked October 1st off with one of the sweetest family sessions to date! Their mountain vacation home is nestled in a wooded lot on the beautiful Lake James in Morganton, NC. A photoshoot in the mountains definitely calls for some hiking! They recommended some awesome hiking trails which we enjoyed before heading over to their home. 

Enjoy these sweet photos! And we think you'll especially enjoy meeting their adorable 1.5 year old Labradoodle, Honey Bee [or HB for short :)].

Navy blue, GOLD, and BLUSH. Can it get any better than that?! When Lauren and Will described their style to us, they used words like Classic, Timeless, and Romantic.

During our first meeting in Panera back in April, we four hit it off immediately! Mutual friends, a love of adventure, and Arizona travels. Will and Lauren are such a fun and loving couple. We have enjoyed every moment with them and shared their excitement for the wedding!

Their classic lakeside wedding theme with a twist of nautical flair was beautifully done, and Lauren did most of the projects and decor herself! Want to guess how they entered their reception?

The golden light, dynamic shadows, tall grass, and towering pine trees were just a plus to capturing Amy and Bobby for their sweet engagement session! Amy and I [Jennifer] met back in 2005 when we were serving together in Child Evangelism Fellowship [CEF]. CEF was the ministry that dramatically changed my life as I learned more of the depths of the Gospel and how to share it clearly with others. Amy was always so much fun to teach with, and we all learned a lot from her since she was more seasoned than the rest of us!
