Rachel & Jeffrey : MEGA post!

WOW what a day..................a F-U-N day!!!!
I was really excited when Rachel picked the mountains for their session. I grew up going to the mountains and I love being there. They really didn't care where we went...just as long as we were in the mountains. I brought along my sweet intern, Julia - she had never been to the mountains! She was soooooooooooooo excited and I was happy that she could go.

We started out in Blowing Rock. This little town is so cute! There are shops, restaurants, a park.... It's perfect for photos!


Rachel & Jeffrey were sooooo easy to work with!!! Look how cute they are!!

Julia! Why are you laying in the road? Didn't your mama tell you that's not safe?

And what are you doing in the bushes?

After Blowing Rock, we were going to head out to Linville Falls. We weren't going to go to the actual falls because of the walk, but I had a plan :-) As we were turing onto the Parkway, I spotted this beautiful spot so we stopped for a few photos....

He got some air!!!

We stopped again at the fences on the road that leads to the falls and did a few shots there. I love this ring shot!

So, we finally made it to the water. Since this was Julia's first time in the mountains, I knew she had never felt chilly mountain water before. I was ready....

I won't mention what happened next because if I tell you that Rachel fell in, she might get mad at me :-)

This was a fun ring shot.... I made a tower of rocks and put her ring in the water on top. I tested it first to make sure it would stay though. I didn't want to have to go swimming :-)

The next location was Valle Crucis and the Mast General Store. I am a sucker for old buildings and I love the look of the area. When we left Linville Falls, I didn't realize how late it was. My sister asked me to get her some candy from there so I drove as fast as I could. We got there one minute late so we didn't get to go inside AND my sister didn't get her candy :-(

I just love lighting checks :-)
