From the moment I started emailing with Shannon I could tell I loved her personality.  Then I found out that I’d met her before.. at her fiancé’s sisters wedding last year!  Already knowing that side of the family, and then getting to know Shannon, I can tell their wedding is going to be a blast.  […]

It’s been pretty quiet around here, and that’s because we’ve only worked 10 hours a week for the past two months!  That is crazy for two workaholics like ourselves, but it’s been the best maternity/paternity leave we could have possibly imagined.  We really needed that time to connect and bond as a family new family of four […]

The Historic Post Office is a dream venue for us.  It’s gorgeous, classy, and right down the street from us!  Kelsey and the team there go the extra mile and really put people first, and that is what makes it different than just another pretty building.  When brides fell in love with the venue, but only […]

“Actually I think Todd and I are good to shoot even if it is raining. We went out and bought a cute umbrella yesterday.  Of course I wish it wouldn’t rain, but looks like I might be wearing the rain boots this afternoon!” I don’t make it a habit of quoting brides from their emails, but […]

We don’t get to do many sessions when we’re back in Western North Carolina anymore.  The time flies so quickly that it’s hard to fit it all in!  But thankfully we got to do a photo session with Brooklyn in the peak of leaf season before all the wildfires hit that area last year.  There was […]

This posts makes no sense unless you know that we recently adopted our 3 year old son, Zane, from Eastern Europe.  We’ve had him 3 weeks now, and 1 of those weeks was overseas.  He has esophageal atresia, which means his esophagus doesn’t connect to his stomach (he’ll have surgery to correct that) and is […]

Meet Chris… she’s the reason we found our son.  She saw his face and knew right away he needed to be adopted.  First, she tried to add him to her family.  She was already in process to adopt from the same country, so it made sense, but she hit permanent roadblocks.  Then she contacted everyone she […]

We’re happy to announce that our whole little family is finally on the same continent!  Today was affectionately referred to as Gotcha Day.  The day we were united with our son forever– and we never have to let him go!  It was also the first time our kids met.  Both were incredible, and it was […]

Sometimes this job takes us to the coolest places, and Carson’s senior session is one for the books!  He’s a senior and incredible baseball player at Cherokee High School in Canton, Georgia.  He also happens to be Josh’s cousin and bears our favorite last name.  😉  We were in Georgia a few months ago but […]

Amy + Alex are sweet and adorable and funny and… I could go on and on.  They’re perfect together.  I let them know that if they had any pets or anything they wanted to include in the engagement session, that was totally fine and sure enough… they have guinea pigs!  But not just any guinea […]
