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 in the bushes?? And WHY are you shssing me?? :-)




This was soooo fun to watch! Julia and I had to demonstrate. Yes...we did that!!









If anybody likes incense, this store is perfect for you! You could smell it all the way out there!








I love the way she was peeking around the corner at him :-)







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?




Which ring shot do you like the best out of these two?









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 :-)














BARNS!!!! I love them!!! I love the color of the barn against the sky and grass!







One of my favorites. I think the bath tub gives it a nice touch. Hahaha













































LOVE THIS!!!
