Claire + Niko = Rose Hill Engagement Session!

Rose Hill Estate  |  Engagement Session  |  Claire + Niko  |  January 18, 2021

What a PERFECT way to kick off our first Engagement Session of 2021 with Niko and Claire’s BEAUTIFUL session! We photographed their session at one of our FAVORITE places, and I was soooo excited!

These two have been dating for over SIX years since high school, and have encouraged and supported each other’s dreams the whole time. Niko is in the Air Force, and Claire is back in school to become a Nurse Practitioner! Throughout long distance (Niko even lived in Japan for two years!), college, and careers – they have weathered through all of that and I have such a respect for them both! Such a smart, high-achieving couple who started their relationship just as kids! Amazing!!!

It was a cold, windy, and dark cloudy day for their session – and I was sad at first because I know Claire LOVES pretty lighting! So I started praying for a pop of sunshine during our session – and we GOT IT!!! Their session was SO magical, with the little pops of sunshine, Claire’s green dress blowing in the wind, and their playful attitudes keeping things light and fun! (Are ya’ll impressed that Claire rocked that romper in JANUARY?! I was freeeeeezing wearing a North Face puffy winter coat, and she was so tough!)

We had the best time walking around, exploring, and photographing Niko and Claire! I hope you’ll LOVE seeing some of my favorites from their session below!

P.S. Be sure to check out Niko’s custom woodworking (cutting boards, pens, and live edge work!) on Instagram at: Port Clear Custom! (@portclearcustom) His work is gorgeous!
