I met Olesja at one of my recent SkillPop classes this year. She was a student in my Intro to Photography class, and I was blown away at how easy and quickly she learned the content! She mentioned how for her birthday this year, all she wanted was a family session! Luckily, her family got her just that!

We met at the Eno River on what seemed like a cold day, but actually turned out to be a beautiful day with some gorgeous light shining through the leaves. I love the Eno River as it has so many fun areas to photograph in. There is the terrain that is a little overgrown, and then there is the beautiful fence that follows hikers all the way down to the river.

The Jasina family was so much fun, and I enjoyed getting to know the entire family a little bit more while photographing them. Also, shout out to Jon for catching a red-eye flight from Vegas to make this session!

This session...

This session, ya'll! It, literally, speaks to my soul. I say over and over again that I have the best clients in the world and I don't think I could have spoken truer words.  When I was photographing this session I kept saying "this is epic, the only word is epic," because it is pretty darn epic. Garrett and Diana have this contagious energy, full of love, laughter, and a bit of modern day romanticism. I could not resist myself, we made beautiful images that I hope they cherish for years to come. 

We could not have picked a better day for their engagement session! We set the scene at the Eno River State Park in Durham, NC set later in the day for that gorgeous golden hour light. The day was good to us. Not only did the sunlight hold up for us, the weather was more than ideal. It was the epitome of every photographers dream day. 

Needless to say, I am extremely excited to be photographing their Greensboro wedding later this year.
