Last fall, I met Becki and Chris at their house to kick off a roving engagement portrait session in the Shenandoah Valley. We drove to a nearby farm that they pass every day for a few photos at the barn and then ventured out to Lake Laura. It was a beautifully sunny day and even without leaves on the trees, the lake was the perfect setting for this outdoorsy, water-loving couple. I just love all the colorful canoes in the background of their photos!

Becki and Chris met years ago but reconnected in 2015. Soon after, she started receiving packages of deer jerky in her mailbox. 🙂 I’m pretty sure she knew they were from the new man in her life, but her daughter was ready to launch a CSI investigation to find out her secret admirer. 🙂 This past summer, Chris whisked Becki away on a beach trip and proposed! So sweet!

On a personal note, I’m so happy for this girl! I met Becki three years ago at my cousin’s wedding, and have taken senior portraits for both her daughters. Early on, I knew Becki shared my love of photos when she didn’t think twice about hoisting her daughter up onto a giant haybale just to get like two shots!

Congratulations to Becki and Chris! Can’t wait for your big day!

Last month, I met little Canaan James just shy of his one-month birthday for an at-home newborn session. He was wide-eyed at the start of our session and dozing off in Mom and Dad’s arms by the end. I have so many favorites from this session, but be sure to check out the last one — the little guy was obviously tuckered out after so many photos! Congratulations to Bekah and Caleb on their precious addition to the family!

Last Sunday, I met Bekah and Caleb one month before their baby boy’s due date for a sunset maternity portrait session. We started with a few photos in the baby’s well-stocked nursery (the closet is full of outfits and diapers from Bekah’s recent baby shower!) and then headed to Caleb’s parents’ house for some pretty mountain views. It’s been so exciting to see these two at family events over the past couple months and watch Bekah’s little bump grow, and I’m so grateful for the honor of photographing another special moment in their lives. You can look back on their love story including their engagement session at Harper’s Ferry, the first (furry) addition to their family, and their rustic summer wedding at Cloverdale Barn in 2016.
