McLellanStyle

I just got the photos my friend, Melanie (Yes, McLellan...the McLellan Style Photogs I happen to be very close friends with). Anyways, they came to Asheville and stayed in our home for 10 days, and in exchange, took some photos of our family. They are INCREDIBLE!!!! They took 52 amazing photos...which I posted on my Facebook if you want to see them ALL. haha. Here are a few of my faves...
