I must apologize for the lack of “blog post” recently. Besides the everyday hustle and bustle of life, Chris’s grandmother passed and we had to fly him back from his hunting trip in Maine. 
Now on to more uplifting things…THE HESTERS!! OH MY GOSH! This family is soooo much fun. They all rented a cabin to celebrate one of their sister’s 60th Birthday!! There are 8 brothers and sisters…could you even imagine a family that big? Hope you all enjoy the preview…
My Aunt came in from IL for the weekend while Chris was gone Bear Hunting! It rained ALL day Saturday, but the sun came out Sunday and we scurried to the Blue Ridge Parkway to go for a hike. We chose Graveyard Fields/Upper Falls which was amazing! It is crazy how much color is up at that elevation and the drive was so beautiful! If you are local and have not gone to Graveyard Fields..GO, GO, GO! Here are a few photos from our day….Happy Fall!!

I got home this afternoon, and was overwhelmed with life. What does that mean? Well, I am sure we have all felt it at one time or another. It was kind of like a burst of energy from no where. I smelled the fall air and was reminded how lucky I was to be alive (and in that breath wanted to do everything at the same time)! That past couple of days have been busy but wonderful. Here is what has been going on outside of work….
Chris is playing on our tractor (I mean working) and getting the pasture ready for our (hope to have soon) cows……
Chris has also been working very hard each evening and weekend on putting the fence up along the pasture. He has spent so many hours and so much hard work into this fence. We are doing it as time/money permits and hope to have the cows after the winter….you see, Chris will be distracted by hunting season soon!
We now own more red gates than I care to admit…haha 
I have smelled freshly cut grass for the past 5 days straight thanks to this wonderful candle in my office!
Vera showed up on my doorstep one morning as an unexpected surprise…..
And, I took up sewing…..well not really, but I am going to. I got this dandy sewing machine at the Flea Market and am overly excited to start making some skirts! I just have to figure out when I am going to find the time…hummm.. am pretty sure Chris rolled his eyes at me when I showed him what I was going to buy!

This session was actually 2 parts (but at the same place)! We started last week, but within 5 minutes, a horrible storm came and rained us out. We even went back to my house to try to wait out the storm, but it just rained too much, so we rescheduled for this week! Reese and Zane are so in love and their love is just screaming through these images! Although not all of the photos are edited yet, I wanted to post a few of my favorites before the couple leaves for vacation!! :) More to come…..
The photo below is MY favorite!! I love a good flare and the lighting was amazing!

Here are some images of the lovely Tori. We had planned on heading downtown, but ended up doing the images literally in her backyard! It was great to see you again Tori!

You all might remember this guy from a couple months ago! Boy has he grown and just look at the expressions he has now!

Photographing children is so great! Children hold nothing back and cannot help but me themselves. The world is so small in their eyes, and the only real responsibility they have is to play and be a kid! These sisters were adorable and so much fun to be with! The weather was trying to play some tricks on us, and no lie, as soon as I got into my car, it started pouring rain!
This photo cracks me up soooo much!! She just couldn’t wait to make a funny face in front of the camera!
