Linus Drew Miller | Lifestyle Newborn Session | Lynchburg, VA
This little baby face easily makes it to the top of my list. Not only because he’s got the cutest expressions, but he’s also my nephew. Aside from being related and having impeccable style, his parents are two of my dearest friends and I love that I can take an evening off to snuggle with this guy in his modern nursery fit for a West Elm catalogue.

Aside from being related and having impeccable style, his parents are two of my dearest friends and I love that I can take an evening off to snuggle with this guy in his modern nursery fit for a West Elm catalogue. Linus has been a bright spot in everyone’s lives since he’s arrived and the only dog that’s still getting used to him is his big brother George.
Check out some of our favorite moments from his nursery being finished and his newborn session! We love you little Linus!

LIFE > HUSTLE
Something I’ve been processing and talking through with Nate over the past month. We LOVE our couples and are honored that we get be part of incredible moments – it’s life giving. We serve clients by making sure we’re filled up – that we’re pursuing passions, staying healthy, and spending intentional time together. So in honor of intentional time, the NBA playoffs, and Lebron James, Nate's birthday came 3 months early.

So in honor of intentional time, the NBA playoffs, and Lebron James, Nate’s birthday came 3 months early.
When I picked up Nate on Wednesday for Chipotle, he didn’t go back to work. Instead, we went straight to Ohio to attend our FIRST professional basketball game. When he got in the car after lunch, there was a Cavs shirt draped over his seat. He thought the shirt was the surprise and was super thankful for it – like the children who open vegetables as prank Christmas presents and love them. Once Nate processed that his bags were packed for him and that work was being left in Lynchburg, he got excited.
We spent the night in Lebanon and headed to Cleveland the next day for the game. In true Schwenk fashion, we ran from our hotel and made it just in time for tipoff. It was fierce. Cavs fans love their team and they show it passionately. Plus, playoff game attendees get free t-shirts…if only yellow were my color.
My favorite part was watching Nate enjoy the game while eating arena chicken tenders and fries. His favorite part of the trip was the game. I know because he kept saying “I didn’t know how much I would love this.” I call that a birthday win.
Given that Nate is an incredible driver and I’m an amazing car sleeper, I came back rested for Saturday’s wedding at Diamond V Farm where I second shot for Ashley Elizabeth Photography.

It's Launch Day!
We were engaged and living across the country from each other, trying to dismiss time zones and connect over the phone. “Let’s get married and start a business” He said. My reply was swift, “That sounds like a terrible idea.”
We were engaged and living across the country, trying to dismiss time zones and connect over the phone. “Let’s get married and start a business” He said. My reply was swift, “That sounds like a terrible idea.” So here we are, three years later with a dream that has captured both of us and we wouldn’t it trade for the world.
Today our new brand and site launches onto the internet and all over the globe – and if you’re reading this, we have you to thank! However, the biggest "Thank you" in the world goes to Kathryn from Crème Brands who gave life to everything we didn’t even know we were dreaming about. If you’re looking for a confident and heartfelt wedding brand, then she’s your gal.
We’ll be sharing a whole lot more on this blog, including how we got from said “terrible idea” to pinching ourselves because we get to do something we are so passionate about. So go ahead and bookmark this page – you’ll want to follow along on this adventure. While you're marking the down the good stuff, don't forget to join us tonight for an online launch party here.
So let's get to it! Explore and let us know what you love about the new site in the comments below!
