Lynchburg Family and Maternity Photographer || The Griffin Family

Photographing friends & their families are so special to me! I've been taking photos of the Griffin Family for a few years now- ever since she was pregnant with Hamilton, and it's always such an honor to document milestones each year and seeing how much their little one is changing! Jenn is pregnant with baby #2 now and due in March (yay March babies!) and is seriously just stunning! 

We met out at the Ivy Creek Park in Lynchburg, Virginia this week! It was the perfect location, with the sun setting, the gorgeous trees & lake! I need to remember this one more! They dressed all up for me and looked AMAZING & Jenn had a flower crown made by Foraged & Cut for some individual photos and I am obsessed! 

Thanks Griffin Family for always trusting me to document your family! I know it's cliche' but it really is such an honor when there are so many people you can choose from! Love you guys!!

Lynchburg, VA Family Photographer || Gavin Family

I'm so excited to be sharing this family session with you today! The  Gavin family had me laughing our entire session- those boys have some big, fun personalities that is just so fun to see! I was SO happy to see the sun shining, the wind died down, and it wasn't too cold out for their Saturday morning session! They wanted a natural environment with some pretty trees, fields so I had the perfect spot in mind in Lynchburg, Virginia! 

Sometimes with family sessions, it can be difficult to get little ones to open up and smile, but oh my goodness we did not have that problem with these two cuties! They were wiiiiiiide open and we all laughed together at their goofiness! We got lots of photo options for them- ranging from the entire family, just Mom and Dad (something that's always needed!!), individuals of the boys, the brothers together! Oh it was a blast! I loved getting to know this family & know you're going to love these photos too!!

Halloween 2017 || A personal post

Our Halloween was so much fun this year!! We were so excited to go trick-or-treating in our new neighborhood! Meeting some new neighbors, and visiting with some of our favorites that we've already met! 

Most people know that fall- so September, October, and November are by far my busiest months- which means that fun things like Halloween costumes get forgotten about until a few days beforehand! Thank goodness for amazon prime- came through for Emmie's unicorn request! Throw on a headband with a horn, some hair glitter, and a tutu and you've got yourself a unicorn costume! Just call me Martha Stuart. (It also should be noted here, that I have zero idea if this is something Martha Stuart would be good at, but it does seem like that would be the case, right? haha!) 

We had a group of friends come over for dinner, spiked cider, and then we set out! Seeing the kids running from house to house and showing off their bags of candy brought back so many fun memories! And if you see in that last photo of our family you can kinda spot my 19 week baby bump.  I need to be better at taking more photos of this growing baby!!
