When Kim contacted me to photograph her family in the historic Old Town section of Manassas, VA, I was thrilled to say the least.
First off, her family is downright gorgeous and then when you add some color, texture and architecture, its a win win! The rain held off and since we met on a weekday, the crowds were light…
Documenting this time and place was extra special since Kim and her family will be moving out of state soon and they have shared so many great times here in Virginia. There's Prospero's Books, Jitterbugs Ice Cream, The Center for the Arts where M spent many hours studying theatre and performing and when there's a sign that reads "Love," you definitely have to photograph it right?
I really hope this session was as much fun for them as it was for me. I am wishing you safe travels and a smooth transition to your new home M family! You are beautiful inside and out.
I have had the pleasure of photographing Alex over the last few years and I couldn't be more proud of the woman she is becoming. 
She is kind, friendly, driven and strong and that hair!!!
She's the girl you want your kid to be besties with...
Alex, the world needs your light, your goodness and that bright smile. I'm lucky to know you and grateful to be able to document this exciting time. Wherever life takes you, I know you will be a shinning success.
Even when she really wasn't feeling her best, she gave us the cutest moments...
and when Elizabeth was born, so was a big brother...
Sometimes your session looks like this... The pouting and the crying, the mess and the imperfection...It's all part of this parenthood gig isn't it?
This is why I just adore at home newborn sessions. Documenting all the things...Looking back, the chaos becomes art and the messy becomes pretty and we can't believe how fast our babies have grown right before our eyes. They tell us this happens but we never really know until we are right there in the thick of it.
I'm so honored when families welcome me into their homes to share a piece of their daily life with me. It truly is the best. Welcome Baby Elizabeth!
You see, I have known Jane and her family for years and it's mind blowing to me how fast time has gone by. I'd say we were both in our happy place during this magical session...the light, the colors the textures...Oh, and Jo Jo her horse was a champ!
Can you believe those two looking at the camera??!!
Jane, so naturally beautiful...
It was truly an honor to capture these moments. Jane, you are destined for greatness and I hope you enjoy every minute of Senior year!!
