Nicole + Sean | Pink Christmas Engagement Session

“Pretty in Pink…”

She is a breath of fresh air.

Her sense of style, fashion and expression leaves me in awe.

She is one of the kindest, most considerate and highly passionate girls I know.

She is head-over-heels in love with her fiance – and he in turn is with her.

They are each others biggest supporters.

And it leaves me giddy and giggly when I read their facebook status updates about one another.

They are soul mates!

This past October I had the pleasure of spending time with them in Blowing Rock (one of my most favorite places!).  We headed back over to What a Fir Tree Farm to see our good friends and owners.  If you have not yet been to this part of the mountain…it is a MUST if you’re in the area.  The drive is spectacular.

Nicole loves EVERYTHING about fashion.  The bigger and bolder the better.  It is HER!!  And what I adore most about this shoot is just that…MEET NICOLE!!

As for our little Sean (well, actually tall Sean…I think he’s 8ft!!)?  What a doll!!  Sean…could you be any sweeter??  You leave me speechless regarding your love for Nicole…utterly speechless!

I hope everyone enjoys this little snippet of our day together.  Thank you, Lindsey Regan Thorne for all of this delicious beauty.

Merry Christmas!  I blogged on blog break.  YAY!!

And ummmm…yes.  That would be my goofy idea to have Nicole wear the tree skirt as a poncho.  I do question myself sometimes. :)

Time to play!!

“Today we play!!”

With an incredibly beautiful team of brilliant photographers, one wicked talented stylist/makeup/hair artist, a hubby, a wife and the two most beautiful twinkies in the world!!!

Today it is our turn.  My family takes the stage.

Timm Young and Richard Israel (the masterminds behind Pie and Mash Filmworks) along with my wing man, Steve Michael and my stylist, Lindsey Regan Thorne have been collaborating on this little project for the last couple of weeks.  Part One.  Playing and spending time together making art this beautiful holiday season.  Part Two.  I have lots of frames to fill in our new home.  Part Three.  Turning the session into a KVP Promo piece that will launch early 2012.

The message of the film will be quite simple.  Love.  Life.  Blessings.

The approach is traditional.  Timeless.  Romantic and Classic.  A quick snippet into the lives of my children, husband and how we spend our time together.

I am beyond thrilled to partner up with Pie & Mash today.  Their work is inspiring. It has been a true honor recommending and sharing their talents with many of our clients.  Annnnnd…the piece we are creating today…will be a fantastic showcase of what will soon be available to other families, engagement sessions, etc.  I know I will certainly be encouraging our KVP clients to document, document, document!!  You cannot put a price tag on artful memories!!

Soooo…here we go!  Stay tuned for the follow up….

~ Happy Holidays! ~

Ps…and a HUGE thank you to my lovely and oh-so-talented, Lauren Hall!!  She more or less runs the KVP studio…and tonight she will effortlessly love on my twinks, keep them sane, make them smile, side track them, play bartender, hang clothes and be my right hand love!!  I ADORE YOU, LAUREN HALL!!  FOREVER and EVER and EVER!!  Happy Anniversary to YOU!!  xo
