Hi! I'm Hope!

Here in North Carolina, the summers are hot & humid. Typically I don’t photograph a lot in July for that reason, except for when the sunflowers come out in full bloom! My favorite local venue, The Barn at Heritage Farms, had a beautiful field full of them.  That’s when I decided it’s mini-session time!

The Venue

Jessica and John are so welcoming to everyone who visits their venue. They made sure we had plenty of props to choose, like quilts, blankets, and even a vintage bright blue, pick-up truck. You are going to flip out when you see the images of this truck! The views on this property are just breath-taking. You get a full view of Pilot Mountain. The window in the barn is strategically placed so that you can see this view during a wedding ceremony.

They even provided ice cold water in the kitchen for all my clients if they should need it. Talk about going the second mile.  It was just a wonderful experience. I cannot recommend them enough!

The People

My first clients Meagan & Luke drove an hour and a half to come see me!! What?!?! Talk about feeling so honored. They are total sweethearts, and I really hope to work with them again in the near future. My second client, Hailey, and her mom Christina were so sweet. Hailey is the reason why I do what I do. She wanted to do a session that was just for her, to showcase her style, and unique personality. I. Love. That. So. Much!!!!

To everyone who was involved with this round of mini-sessions, thank you! You all were amazing, and wonderful. I hope you enjoy these images!


Love,
