Chelsie & Ethan

Waynesville, NC

Fields, mountains, and Hardee’s parking lots! Chelsie and Ethan are always up to exploring new locations. Their first couple’s session with me (and one of the first times Chelsie came to visit) I said “I found this really pretty gravel road I want to test out!” And ever since they have been up to try every crazy location I find. 

This one, however, might top them all. We began on the beautiful Blue Ridge parkway. With the stunning mountain views and it being less than a 15 minute drive from my house that is no surprise. 

But, as we were on our way back in to town we stopped off in the Hardee’s parking lot next to Walmart. At this point, they probably thought their sister had completely lost their mind and they were playing along to make me feel better. 

The light was perfect, the view was stunning, and while there were vehicles passing and a plaza sign right behind me, the spot they were standing looked like a field in a valley with nothing around them but nature. 

Chelsie & Ethan, Thank you so much for always trying new and sometimes crazy things with me. I love you both so much and I cannot wait for another fun weekend.
