Lavender Farm Engagement Session | Matt & Hannah

Oh these two... they just made my heart swell with giddiness when we met up for their engagement session. You would think after photographing more than 100 couples, I'd be over it by now. But when a bride and groom book me for their wedding and we have the opportunity to connect at their engagement session ahead of time, there's nothing that gets me more excited about their wedding day than watching them snuggle up and enjoy each other in front of my camera! And okay... pair it with beautiful sunset light and I literally squeal. I make fun of myself for it, too, so that may explain some of the genuine laughs these guys gave me. :) 

Enjoy Matt and Hannah's engagement session shot at the Evergreen Lavender Farm in Appomattox, VA. It was my first time photographing a session at the lavender farm nearby and I LOVED it! Thank you, Peggy and Thane for being so hospitable to us while we were on your property!

The Morgan Family | Lynchburg Family Photographer

This family!!!! Oh my goodness they were so much fun to photograph! Little Max is inquisitive and energetic, and (as you will see) the most perfect blue-eyed model!! There is so much love between the three of these guys that I had a BALL photographing them together! 

We did their session at The Garden, an exclusive location I am able to offer all Liz Cook Photography clients. I LOVE shooting here... my spirit sings (I mean... more like I am ridiculously giddy!!) the entire time I'm shooting... the bright green backdrop (my favorite color!!) , sprinkled with bits of glowing sunshine... and then combining this beautiful setting with an equally as beautiful family (inside and out)?! It is like hitting the session jackpot! I love the way their images came out! 

Enjoy viewing the joy that exudes from this family!

Thank you to Teresa from Glencliff Manor for being so generous with her property! 

A Liberty University Wedding | Zach & Lindsay

A Liberty University Wedding | Zach  & Lindsay

Have you ever been completely surrounded by GOOD people? I mean... standing in a room of 200+ people all of whom have the most genuine and joy-filled hearts you've ever met? I have. It was at Zach and Lindsay's wedding. I even looked at my second-shooter that day, Maria, and I said "Every single person here is so GOOD. They are all oozing-joy... shining their genuinely happy hearts all around this room!" She confirmed the feeling I had. 

If that doesn't say something about the kind of people Zach and Lindsay are, I don't know what would.

As I am slowly dipping my feet into work after Izzie's arrival, I wanted to start blogging some of the past sessions and weddings I've done and never shared.
