Beth {Western NC Maternity Photographer}

Tonight I did a very special session. My friend, Beth, is 34 weeks pregnant with her second baby girl. We had planned to do her maternity session this week, but last week she was admitted into the hospital for preeclampsia. The doctors have said she will have to stay in the hospital until her baby girl is born, and they're hoping she'll make it two more weeks. So tonight, another friend of mine and I went to visit Beth at the hospital and did a few maternity portraits in Beth's room. They won't let her leave her room, so we had to do them in there. It isn't exactly what we imagined for her maternity session, but these memories are captured, and they will be so special years from now to share with baby Emery.

My friend that went with me tonight is also pregnant and due in 2 weeks, so we got a photo of both their bellies tonight. :)

At one point Beth had to have her blood pressure taken and then was told to lie down, so we of course had to document this as well.

Emily {Western NC Senior Portrait Photographer}

Where should I even start with the beautiful Emily? Emily was our very first foster placement when she was 15 years old. We love her dearly, and we still think of her as our first child even though she no longer lives with us. Last night, I was blessed to be able to photograph Emily's senior pictures. She is a beautiful girl, with amazing green eyes, and she was so easy to photograph. I hope you enjoy some of my favorites from her session.

Lisa & Aaron Anniversary Snapshot {Western NC Wedding Photographer}

So today I had the privilege to photograph my big sister and her husband. They got married 6 weeks after my husband and I, and we adore them. They have lived in Louisville for several years for Aaron to attend seminary. I miss them dearly, and I am so thankful they are here with their two kiddos visiting for a couple of days.

My sister has recently lost a good bit of weight and could fit in her wedding dress again and really wanted to do some romantic photos with her husband in her dress. So that's exactly what we did today. We didn't get to take a ton of photos because of the weather, but we'll be doing more when they come back to our house for Thanksgiving. Enjoy this little preview!
