Ashley and Aaron’s Black Balsam Engagement Session was a time that I was looking forward to with anticipation! I knew that it would be my first semi spring type session coming out of the long winter and that always gets my creative juices flowing! Ashley and Aaron are getting married this fall at Chestnut Ridge (where I am a preferred vendor) and decided they wanted to do their engagements up in the mountains. They decided to bring their Australian/husky mix dog Hank to their session….and let me just say he was a sweetie! Totally too smart for all of my tricks to get him to look at the camera (treats included), but he looked adorable no matter what he was doing so it all worked out. Last week was one of those strange early spring weeks that we had a patch of warm weather! BUT even with the warm weather it was still very balmy at Black Balsam. I am not lying when I say we had the wind nearly beat us to pieces trying to get their photos taken. But even with the torrential winds, a broken zipper on a dress that we just worked around, and me holding Hank’s leash with one hand while I used my other hand to take their photos, their session turned out beautiful. I am completely excited to be working with these two. Capturing the beauty of their love and passion for each other is an honor.
