Tera

Ahh, to be a Senior in high school again. Oh the dreams, aspirations, and goals of being young, new and starting fresh in the world. There's nothing stopping you. The world is yours for the taking. It is the most amazing feeling. When Tera asked me to photograph her Senior Portraits, I was so excited. It was so refreshing to relive all the ambition, inspiration and excitement Tera has as being a Senior. And boy, does she have big plans! After all she is a Viking.

Following graduation from Mt. Hebron High school, Tera is heading into the Marines just like her big brother. She will start with boot camp and then advance more into the corp. She is going to do amazing things as a Marine. 

Good Luck Tera with the Marine Corp! 

Romantic Wimbrough Wedding: Shelby + Rick

Classic, elegant, romantic, stunning... only a handful of words that describe this wedding. In our initial meeting, Shelby said she wanted a sleek and traditional wedding that exudes romance. Classic black, white and red colors with simple yet perfectly placed roses and flowers were the essentials to  this wedding.  When Shelby told me her plans, I was instantly in love with her wedding concepts and would be of the day.

Then the day arrived and it was more, more than I could have imagined. Walking into the venue, I was in awe. The black tie butlers opening the door and holding champagne in crystal flutes on a silver plater. Gorgeous chandeliers and silver shimmering linens adorned with white roses tucked perfectly into rounded glass vases lined the foyer of the mansion. Shelby & Rick definitely surpassed the James Bond theme Rick was going for.  He was dapper in his suit, hair smoothed to the side neatly. She was radiant in her fitted capped sleeve gown, lush curls cascading down her open back, perfectly complimenting her neckline adorned with pearls. It was picture perfect. 

Their picture perfect love story started in college. Shelby was attending Salisbury University and studying Occupational Therapy until a mutual friend (Rick's best man) introduced her to Rick, and their focus quickly went to studying each other from a far. Until one night, at a party and both Rick and Shelby attended. She was cold and Rick took advantage of the situation. Wrapping his coat around her shoulders and gently warming her, the spark ignited. Rick and Shelby dated for the next 6.5 years, finishing college, moving in together and hiking with each other on the weekends. It was there on the end of their hike at the King and Queen's Seat on day, that Rick dropped to one knee on the boulder of the seat. On one knee, with the skyline of mountain, fall foliage and gorgeous sky, Rick asked Shelby to be his wife. She obviously said Yes! Now they are married and are starting their new wonderful life together.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Rick and Shelby, you two are an amazing couple. Being around you two is always a pleasure and I am so incredibly thankful for being a part of your love story! I am looking forward to all the joys and blessings life will bring you in your marriage, including going back to the King and Queens Seat for more amazing photos. God Bless you both with a lifetime of love and happiness!! Congratulations!! xo.

... And Baby makes 3!

Ahhh! Babies! Who doesn't love the anticipation of the arrival of a baby?! Buying little clothes, setting up the nursery and watching the adorable baby grow... some of the best experiences ever. Zak and Tiffany are waiting patiently for Baby Johns to make his/her debut very, very soon. Will it be little fire boots or ballet flats? Either way, Baby Johns looks adorable in Tiffany's bump and is giving his/her mommy an amazing glow! It was such an honor capturing Tiffany & Zak's anticipation of their sweet baby. I cannot wait to hear if Baby Johns will be Team Pink or Blue. Either way, Baby Johns will be so incredibly loved! Here's just a few of this amazing family of 3 to be!
