It’s hard for me to remember the last time that I took portraits at the infamous Virginia Tech Duck Pond but I know it had to have been several years ago!
As we pulled into the parking lot, I saw the light (literally) and was immediately reminded of why this is a go-to spot for Hokies to take their engagement portraits! It’s beautiful and there are so many amazing options for portraits!!
While I may not be able to remember the last time I was at this location, I CAN remember the last time I saw this beautiful couple. We photographed John’s sister’s wedding over 6 years ago in 2016!! John and Lauren were dating and in high school! Now, they are in the midst of getting post-graduate degrees and are planning to get married next year! I was absolutely thrilled to get their email asking if I was available for their date. There is nothing better than getting to work with an amazing past KJ Couple’s family!!!
We loved our time with these two at their session. I don’t know if I’ve ever had a couple laugh and giggle as much as John and Lauren…. and I loved it. They made my job so easy which allowed me to be creative and do some fun things around the Virginia Tech Duck Pond! We took WAY too many portraits and had so much fun. I cannot wait to show up on their wedding day and work with them all over again. They feel like sweet old friends and that’s exactly how we like it!
Enjoy some of my favorites from their shoot and get EXCITED to see these two in wedding attire!!
Thanks for reading!

I have come to realize that there have been so many people in my life who have shaped me and called me up to be the mom, wife, business owner, photographer I am today. I am sharing why I think mentorship is so valuable to every individual and invite you to consider who is helping you learn and grow!
This day was just perfection. I knew it would be from the moment Caitlin emailed me about being a part of their day. She and Devon are in the photography industry and I knew they would put a high value on the creative side of their day.
