Claire & Cooper’s engagement session was truly a scene out of The Notebook. Claire & Cooper’s elopement date was coming up, and we wanted to make sure they got to enjoy their engagement photos beforehand.

Lydia graduated from the University of Virginia in December of 2024 but wanted to commemorate her time there with senior portraits during the summer.

Mallory & Jack’s engagement session at Reynolda Gardens was relaxed and genuinely fun. They were up for anything and spent their session laughing and playing around with each other!
