Mackenna turns TWO!

I can’t believe how fast time flies in one year!  I remember taking Mackenna’s one year cake smashing session like it was yesterday! Now, here she is about to celebrate her second birthday!  Does her mom know how to dress her or what?  She is so adorable in that purple outfit with her cute sandals and hair bow.  Makenna is very expressive and makes the perfect subject for photos.  I just keep my finger on the button and in a matter of a nano-second she will have the best expression on her face.  You gotta be a fast photographer in order to capture those ‘perfect moments’ when it comes to kids!  We wanted to continue the session with the rest of the family but had to cut it short since it started raining.  So, for now, all I have to show you are these adorable photos of Mackenna.

 

 

The Sadlack Family

I had the pleasure of photographing this delightful family at the La Grange Winery in Gainesville, Virginia. Jason & Anita got married at this beautiful winery and loved it so much, they wanted to have their family photo session taken here. There is nothing but smiles coming from this family and they have a lot to smile about. Their gorgeous daughter, Bella, was the perfect older sister to the adorable little brother, Hunter. She was so sweet and kind to Hunter that I only hope for that with my own family. Thank you again to the Sadlack family for having me photograph your wonderful family session!

 

Jen & Carter are expecting

I’m so excited for my friends, Jen & Carter as they’re getting ready to welcome their first little one this summer! I loved photographing this couple because they both brought out the best in each other.  I’m glad they wanted to capture this special time in their lives.  There is something so unique and wonderful about maternity sessions.  Not only was Jen (& Carter) gorgeous, but she was absolutely glowing!   I’m so happy for you both!  Keep an eye out for their newborn family session!

 

The Hoffman Family

Last year, when I was looking for a photographer to do our maternity pictures, I found Mariella from Mariella Hoffman Photography.  We both belong to a photography group and decided to trade our services to one another so we can both get great family pictures without paying a dime.  We did each other’s maternity photos and now we’re doing each other’s family photos since our families both grew this year!  I met the Hoffman family at Old Hickory Golf Course on a gorgeous spring evening.  I love photographing a photographer’s family because they totally get it if I’m posing them in a certain way or making funny noises to get the baby (and everyone) to look at me at the same time.  Mariella has such a beautiful family with her two girls with great big personalities.  See you again soon, Hoffman family!


I call this awesome shot, “Catching frogs”.

 

Valentine’s Session with Keira

I know I’m late posting this but I wanted to share an adorable Valentine’s session.  This is Keira’s first Valentine’s day and she was all dressed up in the cutest red heart outfit with a pretty little bow.  I was so excited to photograph my first Valentine’s session and had everything set up for her.  She smiled so easily at the camera that she made my job easy.   I did Keira’s newborn session in July and love it when I get to photograph babies again to see how much they’ve grown.
