Those of you who’ve taken the sneak peak at our new website (aka the chosen ones) already know that we have a sincere passion for travel. This weekend we took a short weekend ski trip to Massanutten. We had so much fun, the camera barely even came out of the bag. It seems that time to relax by ourselves has become more elusive over the past several months with the work we’ve spent revamping things around here and tying up the loose ends from our recent sessions (we’re REALLY not complaining…we love you guys). Being alone together gave us the opportunity to reflect on just how blessed we are, and the many things and PEOPLE we have to be grateful for. We’re at the point in our marriage where we get to do what we love more than anything in this world, and we do it with the people we love more than anything in this world. We get to meet fabulous new clients everyday and share in the love new couples have for each other. We get to document the most beautiful stage in a womans life…when she brings another life into the world. We get to forever preserve the tiny toes, fingers and nose of that new life. Okay, so I’m rambling…. My point was simply to say that we’re blessed indeed.

We just returned from Karen and Eric's beautiful Valentine-themed wedding this weekend! Their red and white color scheme spilled out over the entire church , even down to the details on Karen's dress and veil. We've always heard that no wedding goes off with out a hitch, and their's was no different, Luckily, we don't think anyone noticed that Karen spent her wedding day barefooted because she had forgottened her shoes. It was a wonderfully romantic ceremony, and we hope they're enjoying their mountain honeymoon!

Wow! Talk about a blast! We had Holly and Josh for an E-session on Sunday. We all braved the winds and drove down to Morrow Mt. near Badin. Holly's hair was whipping every which way and trash kept blowing in our eyes. Talk about troopers though, they toughed it out and did an awesome job! They were just too sweet and so in love. It was all we could do to keep them from kissing long enough to take pictures. All of the images turned out fantastic, and I have Lyndon working really hard to get our favorites processed and on here for you guys to see. For all of you who are undecided on where to shoot your engagement session, this place is SO beautiful and romantic, and much closer to home than some of the other spots we've shot in the past. It would be the perfect spot when the spring leaves start coming in!

We have been working super duper hard on our new website and fully anticipate launching with in the next three weeks. It's been harder than we expected to sort through the awesome images we've gotten so far...not to mention wanting each and every page to look and sound just right! ~Sigh~ That's what happens when two perfectionist work together :) We also wanted to take a moment to thank all of our family and friends, with out who's endless support we'd be lost! I know everyone is just as eager as we are to see the final result, but we promise it will be well worth the wait! We love you all!
