Virginia based,
avid thriftr,
mountain girl at heart,
latte obsessed
An organic, elopement and life stories photographer for adventurous, heart-centered intimate, families and creatives.
My husband James and I live in the Appalachian Blue Ridge mountains with our 4 young children. Our hands are full, but our hearts are even more so. Our favorite things to do: going on sunset walks, fishing and when we get the chance, ride James's Harley together.
I love a solid thrift find and spend far to much time browsing marketplace and antique stores. I love a cozy hot drink any time of year, and a really good clean romance. If it's based anytime from 1780-1920, and involves pioneers you really got me.
To top it all I am also a traditional doula and birth photographer!

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look li 'Content here, content here'
