I’ve been looking forward to blogging this session!  Branson and Juliana met me last month for their engagement session in Marshall, VA and we had the perfect weather, which I was super grateful for.  Virginia weather is unpredictable and sometimes planning for sessions can be difficult.  Branson and Juliana are high school sweethearts, and they […]
