C FAMILY | FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER | WIDE WATER, VIRGINIA

I absolutely LOVE this family!! We met about 4 years ago and have had the joy of photographing them every year since!! We always start our spring session with celebrating all 3 gorgeous girl’s birthdays with their special outfits!! Mama outdoes herself every year!! They are such a fun group of kiddos and always look forward to seeing their new gymnastic skills and of course meeting the guinea pigs <3. I think we have officially photographed them all now!!

This session was also special as we got to photograph the entire family!! It is so hard to get all relatives together and it is always a great time when clients can make it happen. We captured ALL the groupings we could think of and I know these are memories that meant so much to everyone.

At the end of the session we finished up the best way we could by getting in the water! :) Anytime a client wants to get their toes wet is my favorite. I even found some sea glass <3. Loved spending another year with these guys!!! Check out some of my favorites.

R FAMILY | MILESTONE PHOTOGRAPHER | KING GEORGE VA

I absolutely LOVE this family!!  I have been photographing them for about 5 years and every session is such an adventure.  I love seeing their girls grow and love being able to capture their special moments.  When we started brainstorming this painting session we had ideas of denim overalls, cups of paint, big brushes, and a giant canvas.  This wasn’t going to be a traditional formal posing milestone session; it was meant to be more of a fun full body immersive experience.  It was a great activity for the girls to be silly and messy and get paint all over their parents!   What could be better!!??

When it came time for the session we were battling crazy winds and our canvas was flopping all over the place, knocking over paint cups, not staying where we hung it and was def one of those moments when you just have to breathe and be like we can figure this out haha!!  Our visions had not originally aligned which happens sometimes but we’ve been working together for so long we knew we could figure it out! And to be totally honest I am SO grateful for the challenges we had at the start.  Because we worked the wind problem, nailed the canvas and it all came together organically and turned out amazing. Paint was flying, kids were laughing and crying, then laughing again, the wind was whipping, and there was a beautiful moment of connection and play and genuine fun.  Hands down one of our favorite sessions together and I loved that it was completely different than anything we have shot together before.  Here are some of my favorites!
