Bridal Portraits, Avoca Museum, Altavista, VA ~ {Abigail}

      I have always jumped at any opportunity to spend time with one of my siblings, but this particular time proved to be of greater importance to me then that of our usual outing. With my youngest sister’s wedding day quickly approaching, I wanted a reason to set aside time for just the two of us, and where I could create something special just for her while commemorating our day together amidst the busy blur of wedding planning. It seemed like just yesterday I was capturing her and her fiancé’s engagement pictures, but I was no less excited to capture all of these! This mid-summer day spent in Altavista, VA with Abigail will be forever one of my most treasured memories with her. 

     A special thanks to Rachel at Mitchell's Salon on 7th who spent hours with Abigail's hair and make-up, creating a flawless look that sustained hours in the heat and humidity. Thanks also to Terri at Airabella Flowers & Gifts for her creating something beautiful with very little notice, and to Micahel and Teresa at Avoca Museum and Historical Society for allowing us an afternoon spent on such beautiful grounds and for opening your doors to us - providing the most perfect backdrop for all that you see here.
