Usually I stick to a more light and vibrant edit style but I LOVE the moody romantic vibe of this edit so I am sharing it with you. We squeezed this engagement session in with Dakota and Spencer out at the Eno River State Park just before I moved! And I am so glad we did. It was super muggy but that is North Carolina for you.

Comparing the beautiful Bay area weather to North Carolina is very different, not as muggy at all. I will miss photographing at this location. It has a mix of that historic rustic charm with the beautiful waterfalls and the calming river. While these two went to change in a second outfit, I sat by the river and it was so peaceful. I just watched a beautiful crane gracefully move about the water and it just stared at me... or at least it's nose did haha. Anyway, life gets moving so quickly it is easy to let the daily beauties of life just slip right by... taking them for granted and all as we bury ourselves in our devices. So, sitting by the river simply fed my soul.

What is something you like to do to reconnect with nature and simply take a moment of silence to regather your thoughts?

Today I am sharing a more personal post, one of our family outing to Eno River State Park! It is so beautiful! These were taken back in Sept, but not the leaves are even more beautiful. I look forward to going back for mini sessions on the 8th of Nov.

I just love this area.  And being in on these small dirt pathways makes me think of Robin hood or similar stories of old with the mysticism of  traveling in the woods.  The forest is covered in beautiful yet creepy spider webs, you know, those kind that give you the heebie jeebies but I love the way the light clings to them.  And the large bundles of web looking packs in the trees I am told are not spider nests, but butterflies.  That helps me sleep a little better.
















My sweet husband Matt and our little Madeline.  I had Milo, our 6 month old in the front pack.  They are work out enough right? :)
