This past weekend, I got to meet Holly + Caleb and their two adorable pups Beau and Ziggy at my aunts house for their engagement session!! It was a GORGEOUS evening to shoot which was a miracle since it’s been so hot here in VA the past few weeks… we couldn’t have asked for better! 

My aunts house is one of my favorite places in the world so I love when I get to take people here… I grew up running around her property, spending holidays here, and even had my own wedding and engagement photos done here! Some of my favorite memories as a kid are from being out on my aunts boat on the James River!! So I was super excited when Holly and Caleb mentioned wanting photos by the river and suggested we shoot here… 

Holly and Caleb are my kind of people… super laid back, up for anything, and so much fun to be around! I love when I feel like I’m just hanging out with friends during a session! They are the kind of couple that makes you feel relaxed and like you’ve known them forever from the very beginning… I’m so grateful that my job brings such awesome people into my life! It’s the biggest gift!! 

I can’t wait to get these two in front of my camera again in just over a month!! They are getting married at Big Spring Farm which is owned by my dear friends Buddy and Jill… another one of my favorite places!! It’s going to be so beautiful and I already can’t wait to see Holly as a bride!! 

I hope you enjoy a few of my favorites from our evening on the water!:
