Valerie + Tyler | A Boban Fairytale

3 Comments

IMG_1882

Valerie sparkled with joy as we met via Skype for the very first time.  The beautiful thing about my job is that I can have relationships with my clients even if their 4 hours away!  We chatted about her dreams for her day and in excited squeals she explained how it was all coming together.  A dress like Cinderellas, a tiara, and endless pieces of Disney strewn throughout the whole Wedding.  It would be nothing short of a fairytale.  Valerie + Tyler are two of the most genuinely kind people.  They have a heart for people and it is so evident!  Their wedding was absolutely fabulous, and everything that Valerie hoped it would be.  Without further ado- here are some of my most favorite moments of the day!  Valerie + Tyler I am so thankful I got to share these moments with you!  Valerie–cheers to being married to someone better than Prince Charming 😉

Just living on cloud 9 over here after the most ma Just living on cloud 9 over here after the most magical weekend. 🥹🎀🥂🎂🌸

Our second annual Girl’s Night in the Garden was absolutely beautiful. It was magical. It was uplifting. It was SO fun !! I am so thankful for each of these women & how they have lived life with me. They encourage, equip & inspire. What a treasure !!!

Throw yourself a birthday party & make it whatever you want it to be. It’ll be the best — I promise 💕

Ps. I never want to forget the 60% chance of rain the whole week leading up to it — and then not a drop !! 🫶🏻
Judah graduated Pre-K today ! Our sweet boy is now Judah graduated Pre-K today ! Our sweet boy is now on to kindergarten !!! We have had such a fabulous experience at his school. We are eternally grateful for Ms. Allison & all the teachers that have loved our little ones. This momma is going to bed so grateful. The friends Judah has made over the last three years have  been such a gift. I pray they last a lifetime. I can’t stop reminiscing over my favorite moments 🤍 I’m firmly aware that these are the “ good ole days”. What an incredibly sweet season 🥹🤍
This lovely wedding day was a huge highlight in Ap This lovely wedding day was a huge highlight in April! A weekday wedding, Haleigh & MacCrea tied the knot on a Tuesday. The weather was perfect, they shared private vows before the ceremony & these two were smitten! 🌸✨
I absolutely LOVED chasing blooms & capturing pure I absolutely LOVED chasing blooms & capturing pure sunshine for Addy’s Senior portraits. 🌸✨🎀 Addy is lovely, hardworking, gracious & sweet. 

Can you believe that half of these were captured in front of a Dairy Queen in the middle of the city ?!

When we first moved to Southwest Virginia, I was in complete awe of how much WIND the area received.  Gusty winds make for even colder temperatures, and I’m not the biggest fan of the cold.  Ask any photographer and they will tell you that wind is your biggest enemy when capturing photos. 

Even with the gusty winds, Leigh Ann and Andrew’s maternity session turned out incredible.  We used the wind to our advantage and beautiful portraiture was captured.  I mean— just LOOK at that first photo!!

Leigh Ann + Andrew are counting down the days until they get to meet their little one.  Aren’t they darling?! I absolutely loved this session!

November 🦃 🍂 🍽️ This month held so man November 🦃 🍂 🍽️

This month held so many precious events & emotions. I am a girl who feels deeply, so when our family nanny (& my unofficial little sister) asked me to be her Matron of Honor, I became an honored puddle. Everyone in our family of 6 got to be a part of Jaydon & Avery’s wedding day. It was marvelous. In fact, right before I was about to walk down the aisle, Faith toddled over to the dirt, rubbed her hands in it and wiped them all over her white dress😂THEN, she decided to walk down the aisle TWICE. I love that little biscuit so much. 

Judah turned FIVE this year. I look at him & I see a baby who became a boy who is becoming a man. This child is so precious. His tender heart & adventurous spirit remind me that there is so much life to be lived.. & to never take life too seriously 🤍

Lina started using the big girl potty. 🚽 Literally just because. Magical! She continues to live however she pleases & I love that about her. She will find her way & she will do it joyfully. What a gift.

Alexander is our energizer bunny. He is forever helping me with tasks & chores. He is always the first to want to bake or cook with me & needs daily outside time. He reminds me that I need to slow down. To observe, to listen, to be— doing isn’t the point. BEING is. God knit this child together with such vibrancy— I never want to miss it bc I assume my way is better.

Our sweet family got to do so many wonderful things. From early morning bagel dates with dad, to hosting Friendsgiving, to seeing Wicked (I cried, shocker), to Christmas Tree hunting & hosting my family for Thanksgiving- it was such a joy to have so much love & light in one month.

*not pictured but I want to remember: Feeling like myself again, Dave having sparkle in his eyes, the absurd amounts of laundry, Faith walking everywhere like a drunken sailor 🥹, learning to ask for help, hiring contractors (in October) to renovate a bathroom (a one week project turned to four weeks), & one of the brothers shared the gospel with me- I cried (shocker , again) bc his story was so incredible & I needed hope that night. So grateful.
Abounding in gratitude & generously blessed 🥲 I Abounding in gratitude & generously blessed 🥲 I love this crazy crew of mine. We may have practically three 2 year olds (aka super spicy, independent toddlers) but it is the most magical thing being their momma. I can’t get enough of these little loves.

Happy Thanksgiving to you & yours 🤍 🦃 🍽️
Happy birthday, my little joy girl! 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You are sassy, smart & vibrant. You started talking as quickly as you were able & havent stopped since! Your eyebrows never fail to let us know exactly what you’re thinking. I love that you know what you want & you are unabashedly yourself. You sparkle with joy & are incredibly tough. You tumble with your brothers & yet are incredibly sweet with your baby sister. You already want to be a momma , & it’s the cutest thing watching you. I can’t believe you’re TWO!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I love everything about you, Lina Joy ⭐️🫶🏻🌈

I’m in my birthday party throwing era. With four I’m in my birthday party throwing era. With four littles, we have a birthday every few months & I absolutely love a reason to celebrate. This year, I tried something new & it was a dream come true: I threw myself a birthday party. 🥳 👒🌸🌻🎂🍾

I wanted to throw a special dinner party in the garden, surrounded by the women who have grown with me & helped shape me here in Roanoke. We laughed, shared, clinked glasses & ate really good food.

The gift of being intentionally together was more than I could have asked for. Cheers to 33 & all that this year holds 🤍

Special thanks to @fourarrowsfarms for the incredible, custom bath salts for each guest !! ✨🤍 🫧
