Rhys : Berea, Ohio Family Session
This is Danielle and Patrick. They were married 3+ years ago at The Polynesian’s Sunset Pointe. :)
Today, they’re a few years into the “happily ever after” part of “and they lived happily ever after,” and the biggest source of their happiness these days? Rhys. (Pronounced “Reese.”)
Nate and I were able to meet them for a home session when we flew in for Ashley and Brian’s Pennsylvania wedding. The best part about having so many past couples spread out across the country is being able to meet up for these sessions and see what their life is like now.
I know you’re all wondering- He was Winnie the Pooh for Halloween. Complete with a little blue balloon. <3
Outfit change and location change time! :)
In case I didn’t make it abundantly clear, we were so so so so so so so so so so happy to have been given the chance to see leaves changing this year! I was worried I’d miss it! (By the way, that photo on the left? Favorite!)
At the end of the session, Patrick gave three restaurant options for us to all go out to dinner. We didn’t let him get past option #1- Melt- Which is known for it’s grilled cheese sandwiches. Done and done! <3 Danielle and Patrick, thank y’all for the amazing time and it was so fun to catch up again. Now come visit us in Orlando soon!! :)
First Day of Fall
For four years, every time someone asked why we choose to live in Nashville, my first response was “seasons.” But specifically, I meant changing leaves and snowflakes. When we moved to Nashville, my favorite season was winter, but the longer we lived there, the more I fell in love with fall. Not just the colors, but the brisk mornings, sitting at a coffee shop outside, day trips to the zoo, light sweaters and sensible boots, drinking a pumpkin spice latte outside without beads of sweat taking over my face… These were the things that stole my heart as a twenty-something rediscovering seasons.
It was an Instagram photo of a single orange leaf that sent me into a downhill ohmygoshwhathavewedone spiral. I’m sure my friend has no idea the damage that harmless little photo did to my Friday night, but holy. I know we’ll have the last laugh when it’s February and our Tennessee friends can’t step outside on account of it being in the 20’s. I know I’ll love it when this winter when we can go play in the parks and not have our eyes and noses sting from the cold.
But autumn, I miss you. Welcome back. Only two months til we’re reunited again, so please leave some leaves for me!
Happy fall, y’all.
