Claytor Lake Engagement Session | Tampa Engagement Photographer
Some Clients Walk In As Strangers. And Some Walk In That You Haven't Seen In 10+ Years.
I hadn't seen Nicole since we were kids. Growing up, our moms were best friends. We crossed paths a few times over the years, then life moved us in different directions and states away.
10+ years later, an inquiry lands in my inbox. Not only is Nicole engaged, but she's marrying a man who lives right near my family in Virginia. I obviously was checking my calendar to make this work before I finished reading the email. I planned a trip to visit my family and we scheduled their engagement session around it.
We met at beautiful Claytor Lake on a calm, overcast evening. The weeping willow by the water, soft light, no rushing. We caught up like no time had passed at all, and I got to meet her soon-to-be husband, Derek.
It was one of those evenings that reminds me why I do this. Not just to make beautiful photos, but to make connections, see life come full circle, and being trusted with love stories.
I'm so grateful for the connections this work brings into my life. And I cannot wait to document their wedding next summer!
