September 2016 Film Mini Session: Wilson Family

by Elizabeth Tate in Families on October 21, 2016

Every now and then we have families who show up everywhere we are, it's really kind of funny. Alison and I actually went to high school together, so there's that, but Callie and I also photographed she and Doug's wedding a couple of years ago. That, and they've been in or a part of a few different weddings that we've done even since then. We'll see them at weddings an[...]

September 2016 Film Mini Session: Cicci Family

by Elizabeth Tate in Families on October 20, 2016

The Cicci's were my first little family of the day, and what a sweet one! Ashley and Jonathan brought their sweet 13 week old Goldendoodle puppy, Cotton. One of THREE golden doodles of the day, guys. THREE. I gotta say though... all of them were adorable but Cotton just stole my heart a little bit with his little bowtie and his fluffy fur ball self! Thank you, Cicci's[...]

September 2016 Film Mini Session: Sanders Family

by Elizabeth Tate in Families on October 19, 2016

Adam, Dana and Luke's mini-session was so fun! Anytime there's a pregnancy announcement, I get kind of giddy with excitement. I love being in on that little secret ahead of time, and being a big part of revealing such wonderful news! And I have to say, Luke was the most well behaved little dude. He was so charming and fun and listened so well! So thankful to have met [...]

September 2016 Film Mini Session: Melissa and Hartley

by Elizabeth Tate in Families on October 19, 2016

Melissa and Hartley live in Virginia Beach but were able to make the trip for mini-sessions in the same weekend they were checking out a wedding venue in the area, and it just worked so perfectly! Their engagement mini-session was a joy to capture! Congratulations you two and best of luck in the coming months as you plan your wedding! Film Processing: Indie Film La[...]

September 2016 Film Mini Session: Clarke Family

by Elizabeth Tate in Families on October 18, 2016

I've had the privilege of doing not 1, not 2, not 3, but 4 mini-sessions with the Clarke family! Y'all don't know how good that makes me feel, ya know? To see these sweet faces several times in the past couple of years and to know that they really love their mini-sessions just makes my heart happy. It's been a blast to watch Austin grow and to watch his little persona[...]

September 2016 Film Mini Session: Lanning Family

by Elizabeth Tate in Families on October 17, 2016

Aren't Ben, Stacey and Finley Mae the cutest?! Finley Mae (who they lovingly referred to as Mae much of the time) was my third goldendoodle of the day, which kind of blows my mind since until that morning I'd never actually seen one before! Mae and Dozer (my dog) are about the same age... growing out of the puppy stage but still completely wired with energy, so we had[...]

2016 Behind the Scenes

by Nancy Ray in NRP Team on January 17, 2017

THIS IS WHERE THE MAGIC HAPPENS, Y'ALL! This is where you see us all sweaty, standing in funky positions to get THE shot, holding one another up so we don't fall over, doing whatever it takes. This is where I'm all smiles and even a little teary looking at this team who loves this work as much as I do. This is where we get blisters and we stay up late and we [...]

May 2016 Film Mini Sessions

by Elizabeth Tate in Families on June 9, 2016

I think my first round of 2016 mini-sessions flew by faster than any other mini-session day I've ever had! It may have had something to do with the gorgeous weather we had, or all the families that showed up on schedule to keep the day rolling, or just simply because it's fun, and we all know time flies when you're having fun! It's just one of my favorite things to[...]
