A date with Emma...

During wedding season, it is easy to get caught up with all the busyness and loose priorities a little.. While we are working long hours shooting engagements, bridals, family sessions, and editing previous weddings for posting, Emma waits patiently for brief moments that we can play. We take small "polly pockets" breaks and frequently have afternoon tea which is most satisfying regardless of the lack of substance. Well, today Jen had to go out of town, so Em and I had a date.. We took the afternoon and went to Linville Falls for a hike and photo expedition. We had a picnic and even waded in Linville gorge, which caused Em to crash in her carseat on the way home.. It was a great day! Here are some highlights--

I guess Em is a treehugger at heart...

A random nature shot :)

Em found some pretty foliage..

and we watched it float over the falls..



It was a great day!
