One year old today. I cannot believe my sweet baby girl is one year old. It’s been such a wild and crazy year and I have no idea where the time has gone. It’s definitely bittersweet because let’s be real: 2020 wasn’t the greatest. BUT it did give me the greatest gift in Emy.

Y’all, I love this girl. My heart and soul needed this girl and I didn’t know it until I met her, one year ago today.

I couldn’t think of a better couple to be the first MJMP Wedding of 2021! Nadine and Josh shared vows, laughter, joy and fun at their beautiful spring wedding at Amber Grove in Moseley, Virginia. The day started with on and off rain and shortly after arriving at Amber Grove, it started pouring cats and dogs! But to my surprise and delight, the rain stopped just before we started wedding party portraits outside and stayed away the rest of the day so they were still able to have their ceremony outdoors, under a tree with hanging lanterns.

This couple is one of the sweetest I’ve had the pleasure to ever work with and not going to lie, I’m almost a little bummed out the wedding is over because I loved getting to work with these two! But what a wedding day it was and what a beautiful love between these two.

Last Friday I got to meet Matt & Luisa at Libby Hill Park in Richmond VA for their engagement session and I have to say it was definitely one of the most fun engagement sessions I’ve ever done! The weather was perfect and it was a sunny day which made for gorgeous golden hour portraits! Luisa and Matt were so fun to talk with and getting to hear more about them and their sweet pets! Especially since their 5 month old puppy, Max, joined us for photos and I was over the moon!

It blows my mind everything a month comes and goes and we are that much closer to one year old. My sweet baby girl almost a whole year old!

It’s been a big month with extra sass, extra grumpiness because of her FOUR teeth coming in at the same time! two are officially out of the gums and the other two aren’t too far behind, making our tooth total SIX

Emy has really reached a new level with her personality and it’s so funny to see her quirks, her favorite things, how sassy she’s become and silly. She has such a sweet soul and she’s a breath of fresh air but she is also a Miss Priss and likes things a particular way

It was a touch windier than expected but an all around gorgeous day for an engagement session. Ashley and Ben met me at Maymont Park Friday afternoon for their engagement session and I was so thrilled to get to meet these two cuties and enjoy the beautiful florals blooming in Maymont’s Italian and Japanese Gardens. I couldn’t have asked for a better way to kick off my spring engagement season with these two and I’m even more excited for their November wedding at Oakdale! But until then, enjoy some of my favorites from their Maymont Park engagement session!
