This past weekend we celebrated this little man’s first birthday with family and friends. It was such a great day!

Katie and Chris || A Total Win || Charleston, WV

Katie grew up surrounded by sports, her dad has been a coach for as long as I can remember, and of course she married a coach, so it was only fitting that their wedding be sports themed. I know Katie and I had conversations prior to the day where she was worried about pulling this off in an elegant and tasteful way, but I have to tell you first hand that their hard work and effort paid off and their day was beautiful.

When we found out we were having a little boy, I knew even then that milestones like his first haircut would be cherished memories.

So in an effort to preserve those locks just a bit longer, your daddy and I couldn’t help ourselves to do a little styled shoot with you. You’ll look back one day and google search “manbun” and see where we found our inspiration. For just a few more days you’ll be my topknot and someday I’ll get to look back on these playful little images with a smile and all the memories wrapped up into your year with long locks.

This is one of those special weddings that as I edited each photo I just couldn’t stop smiling. This beautiful couple happens to be dear friends of mine from childhood and I am so grateful and honored they chose me to capture their beautiful wedding day.
