| Style Me Pretty | Nashville Lakefront Engagement Session

"Love does not consist in gazing at each other but in looking together in the same direction." This couple's love has withstood the test of time and long distance. I have been working with them for months and their love is founded on patience and grace.  It was a gift to be part of their engagement leading up to their beautiful wedding day.  It is always an honor to have one of my favorite wedding blogs, Style Me Pretty feature my beautiful clients. I am in love with these two and wish them a lifetime of happiness always growing in the same direction. Xx  For vendors and more details, please check out Style Me Pretty.

Chicago Dream Wedding Sneak Peek

Despite the rain and accumulation of mud on the estate; this day turned out to be a magical event. Congratulations to these two darlings, I wish you both a life time of happiness and love. The weekend was beautiful and I am ever so grateful to have captured all your special moments. 

Peonies + Tulips + Sisters Featured on Grey Likes Baby

During certain seasons, I let flowers inspire my color pallet for my sessions and styling.  For those who know me well, I like everything to be white, crisp, and clean. I happily make exceptions every May/June when the soft hue of peonies are ruling the market. I wanted a playful twist on a sophisticated flower and incorporated waffle cones as a fun prop for the girls. I also created a fun backdrop with Tulips and tape that any DIY'er can try at home. This session was particularly special because I adore this family and these two little girls fill each room of the house with such love and playfulness. For more details please visit one of my all time favorite daily reads, Grey Likes Baby. I have followed Grey Likes Wedding for years and was thrilled once this great resource for moms emerged and I am honored to be part of their fabulous collective. I hope everyone has a wonderful rest of the week. Xx AR

Nashville Percy Warner Princess

I hope this beautiful princess adds some sunshine to your Monday. I had such a wonderful time spending the morning with this little one and her beautiful mother. Her floral headpiece was simply magical and a special thanks to Village of Flowers in Hillsboro VIllage for their beautiful arrangements and her darling linen dress came from my favorite children's boutique, Tweed Baby Outfitters in Edgehill. I hope everyone has a wonderful week!! Xx
