Ohhhh you guys. I don’t even know where to start with how much I love this session, and how thankful we are to know this beautiful family! It has taken practically forever to narrow these images down to a somewhat acceptable number (and I’m probably still pushing it 😉 )! At our very core, the thing Chris and I love most about photography is creating images that help people remember what a certain time in their life felt like. We are so thankful for the opportunity to document this time as the Scobeys await the birth of their little boy in the fall–so exciting!

This is a family of dreamers, and a family of doers. A family full of so much love and encouragement and creativity. Graham and Ashley are AMAZING photographers in Atlanta (among many other things!), and we first “met” them online through various interactions. We finally met Graham in person last fall, but this was the first time we got to meet Ashley in person! Even though we felt like we’ve known them forever  🙂  Documenting a little bit of their daily life was such an inspiration. From playing games together, to tending the family garden, story time with grass stained knees, to cooking dinner together, every moment was full of laughter and joy (and overseen by the family dog, Bear!). Perfect, even amongst it’s imperfections.

Here are a few (ok, a LOT) of our favorites of the day!

BEHIND THE LENS

A note from Jen

Purpose and passion and the lessons of over 17 years of weddings...

I'm writing this today staring out at the bright blue Colorado sky, near Boulder, CO where I live with my husband of nearly 17 years and our 8 year old son. We moved here to chase the mountains and adventure and a life fully lived, after over a decade in Nashville, TN. 

It might seem silly to say that I believe part of my purpose here on this earth is creating photos at people’s weddings. But here’s the thing. Life is absolutely going to life. There are going to be days and seasons that are freaking hard and awful and the world feels like it’s burning down (literally, metaphorically, in all the ways). And there are going to be days full of so much love and joy and bliss and peace that you wish you could just bottle it up for all time.

And I feel so strongly that that’s WHY a wedding matters. And why your photos matter. And why making it so intentional and purposeful to you matters. To create the space to intentionally create beautiful new memories together. Because it’s a weekend to say that this love (yes, all love) and these people (yes, all people) MATTER. It exists. It is real. And it’s worth celebrating the f*** out of. In a radical defiance of everything telling us to be scared and wall up our hearts.



And it’s worth documenting. My purpose in this is to be present with what’s there on your wedding day—all the joy, love, and whatever else is showing up—and creating the record of it. A record of what is true to you. So that when the days hit hard, you can point back at this anchor of joy and love, and know that it exists. It is real. It is worth celebrating.

Sending all the love, wherever this journey of life is meeting you today. xoxo, Jen
