Throwback Thursday -Carly & Zach - Blue Ridge Parkway Engagement Session - Boone NC Photographer

Hello, sweet friends! How are you guys holding up? We’ve been on an emotional rollercoaster ride over the last few weeks. As a nurse and a small business owner, I feel like I see both sides of the fear that everyone is feeling. Fear for the health and well-being of our society and fear for the collapse of our economy. Please know that Will and I are itching to get back behind our cameras and capture life’s most precious moments again and we are counting down the days until we can safely do so.

I’ve got several amazing wintertime sessions to share with you guys over the next few weeks. They were on my schedule to have been blogged way before now, but to be completely honest even though I have had an abundance of time on my hands, my spirit hasn’t been quite ready to blog just yet. I know it sounds crazy, but looking through images from the past has made me even more sad for the couples that should be experiencing the same amazing joy right now. It’s been such a beautiful spring. Literally every Saturday in April has been the epitome of perfection from a weather standpoint and it seems such a waste when beautiful weddings should be happening.

But enough of the sad talk, because I started writing this blog with joy in my heart after going through photos from Carly and Zach’s February engagement session. When Carly first messaged about dates for their spring engagement session, I randomly mentioned that we were going to Boone for a February getaway. Ya’ll know we love to travel and would love to capture more sessions in the mountains, so I figured it couldn’t hurt to mention it to her as an option for their session. Carly was on board and I literally shrieked with pure joy when the e-mail came through to make plans. Will and I love the Boone area and knew pretty much exactly where to start with locations for the session - Rough Ridge. It was a short enough hike with a view that we knew would still excite us during the winter season. Carly and Zach’s outfits presented just the right pop of color and the overcast winter light was perfect for some dynamic views of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The photos speak for themselves as far as the beauty of the area and how photogenic Carly and Zach were. But we truly had fun exploring with these two and we know their wedding day will be tons of fun as well! We hope you’ll enjoy these shots of this beautiful couple in one of our favorite areas!
