I've
always been
storyteller.

But I never set out to be a photographer. I was (and still am!) going to be a writer. And then as I worked toward that writing goal, someone put a camera in my hand and asked me to try telling stories with something besides words. So with an English nerd's love for character and tone, a romantic's love for poignant beauty, and a realist's love for imperfection, I dove in.

I've
always been a
story-teller.

That was back in 2010.

Since that time, photography has changed much of my life. It's brought me some of my dearest friends. It's reshaped the way my husband Danny and I view serving others. It has even literally taken me around the world. One thing that hasn't changed: my soul-stirring desire to tell stories that feel so real you're sure you knew them before you heard them. Or saw them. It's my privilege to tell those stories for my clients, and for the generations of their families still to come.

Published: Sharon + Harrison’s Charlottesville Engagement at UVA on Borrowed & Bleu | Virginia and Florida Wedding Photographers

Thursday, October 4th, 2012

Fall is starting to settle in around us (even if it still feels like July in many parts of the country), but let’s take a little step back in time to a mild spring evening at the beginning of June at the University of Virginia. We were there to meet Sharon and Harrison for their engagement session. Literally hundreds of other people were there, too — for Reunion Weekend. Sharon and Harrison looked so sophisticated, so in love . . . and miraculously alone, in spite of the festivities swirling all around us. They looked so great that I’m not the slightest bit surprised — but incredibly honored — to see their engagement session featured on the awesome Borrowed & Bleu!

I think you should hop on over to Borrowed & Bleu and let Sharon and Harrison know how great they looked, don’t you? Thanks to the now-newlyweds for giving us such a fun time at this shoot, and thanks to Erika at Borrowed & Bleu for giving this session a chance to inspire some other brides and grooms.

(Yes, I realize our third Wedding Planning Wednesday installment was supposed to happen today, but I figured this was too exciting not to share now — plus, I’m away for the week. Wedding Planning Wednesday will be back next week.)
