Little man | Fall session

you know my love for this little boy. and i got to travel all the way back to virginia to photograph him this past fall. we went to the park and played (okay we just pushed him on the swing...) then we tried our best to bribe him into smiling for pictures. when it comes to kids i'm never above dancing around, making crazy faces and doing whatever it takes for a smile.

i love the ones we got during this session. boy is he cute.

oh and one more because you know, we are pretty funny...

Last Lynchburg Adventure Day

i went on some pretty spectacular adventures this past year. i always think nothing will top them, and then we head out on the next one and it ends up even better. there is nothing like fully living in the moment, especially when that moment is really awesome.

right before all my college friends headed back to their states (and countries!) for the summer, we had one last Lynchburg adventure day. Lynchburg is such a great place for so many reasons, but one great one is that no matter how long you've lived there, there is pretty much always something you've never done before.

like have you seen the first house to get indoor plumbing there?

i didn't think so.

so we met for breakfast and headed out to see the sights we had never seen before. i love the way these images turned out. they remind me of an old family road trip, where mom has the camera and she keeps snapping pictures left and right. not to mention a killer film coloring thanks to the old vsco! we ended with an amazing sandwich from the yellow submarine. here is a tip. never ever order the big sandwich. you could die from eating it.

i miss you guys. how about you all come here now and we can hang out. whats that, you're millions of miles away? oh. well then i'll just adventure with pictures of you.

that was a fun day.

a grand adventure

there really is nothing like graduating. one of the best days of my life was the day i graduated college. it’s a bit of a story to explain but ill just say it was a day i learned a lot about myself. and a lot of praying came to fruition.

i love graduations. i feel like they are some of the most important things to attend. someone can never feel too supported. and i think a lot of the time the graduates life kicks in right after and everything is so overwhelming, its good to have a lot of people to cheer you on.

i got to watch a bunch of really great people graduate this may. i got to sit with their families and yell my lungs out when they got their diplomas. i got give them huge hugs and jump around in excitement for them. it was a beautiful day and even though we got trapped on a bus and it took us all afternoon to find something for lunch, i would do it all over in a heartbeat. i love my people and i loved spending four(or five) years with them. what a beautiful moment.
