My sister flew me down to Roanoke, VA to photograph her daughter’s (my lovely niece, Leah) engagement pictures. I was also there to help Leah find her photographer. Now THAT was FUN. Getting to interview other photographers, ask questions and look at their work was a delight and informative, not only for Leah, but for me too! We decided to work with Kemper Mills Fant. He’s a lovely man and does beautiful work. I know he’ll be a lot of fun to work with, too.

Leah and Blake (high-school sweethearts), spend every summer at Smith Mountain Lake, so, there we went. But first we had lunch, I wanted to eat at this fabulous Texas Tavern, but there was no room, the place was packed! We meandered our way through the Parkway and onto to the lake. Blake was a real sport, it was a long day…but worth it, right Blake?
