The Papavasiliou's Lake Lure Family Maternity Session by Asheville, NC Wedding and Portrait Photographer

This sunny winter maternity session is the perfect thing to brighten this snowy day! The Papavasiliou Family visited Lake Lure, NC from Florida around Christmastime in the hopes of seeing some snow, but ended up seeing the more mild side of North Carolina winter weather. The Papavasiliou's are expecting their fifth child and I was more than happy to capture some portraits of their beautiful children and Natasha, with her beautiful pregnancy glow!

Steven and Sonya's Biltmore Estate Couples Session by Asheville, NC Wedding and Portrait Photographer

I have been so incredibly anxious to share this session on my blog, like a kid waiting for Christmas to come! Steven and Sonya came to Asheville to visit The Biltmore Estate and Sonya contacted me about doing a couples session of them while they were here, I, of course immediately answered with a big,"YES!" Shooting weddings, engagement sessions and couples sessions is one of the things that is nearest to my heart! Showing the love that two people share and foster and having the privilege to capture that gives me a feeling like no other. Steven and Sonya's session was so sweet and intimate, it was made even sweeter by the fact that Steven had just recently returned home from being deployed. Investing in your marriage and capturing the memories you make with your spouse, is something to be cherished and documented. Thank you Steven and Sonya for letting me document your love and thank you Steven for serving our Country!
