It was so nice to get to work with Taylor & Brandon again!! This time, I got to see them for a wonderful Christmas session with their beautiful dog Bella <3

When we were first talking about where to have their session, we knew we wanted an outdoor area with trees to decorate. Brandon & Taylor offered to take the photos on Brandon’s property, and I was in for an awesome surprise! Brandon’s home is located on a big piece of land in hickory that he shares with other close family members.  The land is so big that when I got there, Brandon and Taylor showed me around the property in a golf cart. Their dog Bella, who was accompanying us for the shoot and sporting an adorable reindeer sweater, ran along side the golf cart the whole way around the property. I was so impressed that Bella had that much energy going from location to location. It is always a pleasant surprise when you have so many locations to choose from! One of my favorite locations they showed me was a beautiful pond that already been frozen over. It was a perfect location that screamed Christmas!!!

These two never disappoint, they are such a wonderful couple to work with. We got some beautiful photos for this very cold Sunday. I always get a lot of questions of how people can bare with the cold when shooting outdoor winter locations. The secret is, they aren’t always easy, but if you grab some blankets and you are holding onto someone you love, there is always warmth to be found. ( I know that was super cheesy, but its true!!! )

I cant wait to work with these two again! Below is some of my favorites from this cuddly-christmas session on Brandon’s family property!!
