Last month I excitedly made the two-hour drive to Virginia Beach for Michelle and Chris's big day! I didn't know when I arrived that it would be a teal and coral paradise! Okay, it wasn't complete overdone in teal and coral, but my two favorite colors? It was meant to be! Not to mention, the bride and groom were so laid back and go with the flow--they were pretty open to anything I wanted to try.

With the beach of course came the wind, but even so we made it through -- and for one particular photo, the wind helped so much! Check out the pictures from the day!

Call me a sap, but my favorite thing about weddings (other than the photos) is two families coming together as one! My biggest hope for when I get married is that I'm as close with my husband's family as I am with my own. And I loved capturing this photo of Michelle's mom hugging her new son-in-law. And the below picture of Chris's sister welcoming Michelle to the family. 

How stinkin' cute are the flower girl and ring bearer?! 

Ahhhh! Probably my favorite picture. The time the wind really worked in our favor! Look at that dress! Isn't this stunning? 

Congratulations Michelle and Chris! Thank you for trusting me to capture your day. Here's to so many more years of memories for you both. 

Hey y'all! A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of helping plan out a sweet gender reveal for one of my work friends. Megan is one of the sweetest people I've ever met and it was so much fun to be part of this exciting moment in her and her husband's life. I remember how back in February she was telling me how badly she had baby fever. So when she told me she was pregnant, I thought I was going to cry (I may have teared up a bit).

A few Wednesdays ago, Meg left work early for her ultrasound. This was the big one! But she told the doctor's office to call one of our co-workers and tell her the gender of the baby. I was so excited when Allie walked out and said, "Guess who I just got a call from?" I jumped out of my chair and Allie was sure I was going to tackle her. I just can't help it. I love babies!

So we rejoiced in the middle of the office, students and teachers walking by, probably staring at us like we were crazy. And I was so happy that we were doing this little shindig the same night because I could not have kept that secret for long.

So we kicked Meg and Scott out of their own house, decorated and set up the box with the hidden balloons inside. But what color would they be? They'd soon find out.

Soon they were back home, where we were ready with our cameras, got set up to Facetime with their families, and then... surprise it's a...! 

Graham's so excited to be a big brother! 

See? He's already so involved! 

First thing's first, gotta set up Facetime with the family. Meg was so bummed not to have everyone there. But since family was so far away, this was the best option.

Got a quick shot of this little cutie because I could. 

And what is it? 

It's a girl! 

She'll probably be so mad at me for posting these, but I couldn't help it. There's so fun!

And to close it out, a sweet picture with baby Caston. I can already tell she's going to be a wonderful mother. 

Congratulations on your baby girl, Meg and Scott!
