Emily is such an amazing spirit that I love to be around. Her personality shined through during her engagement session and I loved seeing it again from her during her bridal session. When trying to figure out location we were bouncing around all different types of ideas but ended up with choosing her family farm in Monroe, North Carolina. She grew up there and I felt it was the absolute best location for her session. Especially since she has a great relationship with her dad and decided that she would surprise him with a picture of her on the wedding day! (see the picture below) Her sister also dressed up for the day and we made sure to snap just a couple fun sister pictures to gift to her parents as well! I know their wedding will be beautiful and I can’t wait to see her dad’s reaction when he gets his present from her!

Stacy is one of my favorites! You know when you meet someone and instantly connect, that is how we were! When we got together to plan out Hailey’s session I asked her what Hailey was into right now and she said cupcakes… instantly I thought how cool would it be to do the session in a cupcake shop! Stacy was all for the idea and contacted SAS Cupcakes in Charlotte, North Carolina and they said for us to come on down. One of the even cooler things is that the highchair that we used for the shoot was passed down from three generations to Stacy who now used it with Hailey! I love incorporating heirlooms into sessions, and what better way to do it than with cupcakes =) While Hailey was our main focus due to it being her 1st birthday we could not forget her sweet brother Brayden. I took his pictures for his 2nd birthday last year (see here) and he was super sweet then and has become even sweeter with age. He was so excited to show me all his awesome play clothes while in his superman outfit. And when we ventured outside for our super cute set up in the washtub for Hailey he wanted to make sure he helped us out as well! The two of them will grow up to be such awesome siblings and I can’t wait to see what this next year holds for them! Thanks so much to SAS Cupcakes for making this session possible! If you have not tried one of their cupcakes you are missing out!

When Kayla and I had our first meeting, she told me that she for sure wanted a bridal session. Not all brides opt for this session but those that do absolutely love it and have so much fun in the process. The day we had Kayla's session planned it was so chilly, we were bummed as we wanted to do a lot of the shots outside. We found a lot of great locations inside and then Kayla braved the cold for a couple outside and I was so impressed. I was freezing and I had leggings, a jacket and longs sleeves on. But no matter where she was at the Hightower Hall she looked stunning in her dress. I can't wait until Andrew and the rest of the people attending the wedding get to see her!
Venue: Hightower Hall
Dress: Bedazzled
Southend Engagement Photographer | Charlotte, NC | Jordan and Rob | yah Photography /
Jordan and Rob loved to go to The Liberty in Southend, and had gone on many dates there. So what better place to start their engagement session?! The two of them also used to live around the area, so we wandered around Southend and made sure to stop by their first home together as well as get some views of the city. The two of them were a blast to hang out with and I know their wedding at Providence Country Club will be amazing!
