Meaghann's New Chapter

This weekend, we shot some senior portraits for a super kid who is now working on summer staff at TVR Christian Camp and Retreat Center in Plumtree, NC, where I (Stephen) worked as the staff photographer when I met CJ. Meaghann will be entering her last year of high school this fall, but has the head and heart that will keep her grounded and take her places.

Meaghann, CJ and I had a blast hanging out with you this weekend; we wish you the best as you enter into your college years!

Torrence Family Weekend

Over the 4th of July weekend, Stephen and I visited his family.  We all stayed in a cabin his parents had reserved for us in Fancy Gap, VA; it was great.  It rained for most of the weekend, so most of the vacationers under the age of 8 weren't too thrilled, but it was perfect for me.  The cool, damp air was a great break from the heat we had been experiencing.  Once I discovered the hammock on the front porch, I didn't budge, even when it was storming and I caught a little mist!

We took a ton of pictures then, and a lot of the time, the cameras were passed around, so we were actually able to BE in the some of them! :)  When the sun was shining, we did some great family shots of everybody--so much fun.  Being in the mountains, Steve found himself able to return to some landscape photography, a great love of his.  From the view off the back deck (which was breathtaking, as you can see below) we caught glimpses of several different firework shows.  Here are some of the best representations of the weekend:

Justin and Jenna

Here's a preview of our most recent wedding on June 28th at Queen's University in Charlotte.  It was an amazing day, bride and groom glowing, and all sorts of emotions in the same moment.   It's so much fun, and makes my heart full to see relationships at their best on a wedding day that was carefully planned and prayed-for.

When the couple drove off for their honeymoon, and we started on our way home, we gave Jenna's mom a hug goodbye, and she said, "Wow, you guys are like family now!"   It's truly mutual!  Justin and Jenna:  Steve and I loved working at your wedding--we are so grateful!  Thank you for such an awesome opportunity!  We send our best for a great honeymoon!
