Isabel | Destination Travel Portraits | Chebeague Island, Maine

Travel portraits are my favorite thing ever. When Johnny and I went to Iceland last year for our honeymoon, we hired someone to photograph us exploring the country for a couple of days and it was one of my favorite decisions. Something I think I’ll keep up as a little tradition for ourselves. Isabel had just finished baking a beautiful cake for Damian and Jesse’s wedding when we went down to the water to get some photos of her on this trip.

These photos remind me of this little mystery that popped up on the internet a few years ago. A photographer got some film developed and found gorgeous photos of a woman in the water. You can read the whole story here, and see the stunning photos. https://mymodernmet.com/meagan-abell-find-the-girls-on-the-negatives/

I love the idea of Isabel’s future generations to see these photos of her exploring the world and having stories behind these photos.

Macy & Mark | Fall Sunrise Couple Session | Shenandoah National Park

I am up on the Shenandoah National Park nearly every week, sometimes multiple times a week, and every time I am there it is different. The sunrises are different within themselves, and they are very, very different from the sun sets. Sometimes the fog sits in this valley, sometimes it has engulfed the entire mountain, sometimes the sunrise is blue, and sometimes - though rarely - it is this clear, firey orange.

This was one of my mini sessions, and I am so very thankful that Macy and Mark traveled almost 2 hours and even got here on time so early in the morning so that we could witness this crazy sunrise together. Also, their style is on point.

Sarah & Evan | Shenandoah National Park | Maternity Session

I used to work at the cafe in the college Sarah worked for, and I’d see her nearly every day, whether she was walking buy or stopping in for a drink. I remember when Evan first started working at the college too, and seeing him stopping in nearly every day, then sometimes the two of them visiting together. AND NOW they’re married, with a sweet little one on the way. It was so, so wonderful to see the both of them. It’s always been a hoot with Sarah, and she brightened up my day yet again.

This was one of my first times offering a mini session, and I was glad as heck that these three were a part of it (:
