The Brassers | Family Session

I met the Brasser family through a mutual friend, more than a year ago.  They are fun and sweet and have three adorable little girls with their own unique look and personality!  I was excited when Claire contacted me about a family session.  We decided to meet at the Stone Bridge area of Manassas Battlefield.  Their family was an absolute joy to work with! Here are some of my very favorites from our time together.

Thanks, Brasser family!

Taunya and Jake | Bluemont Vineyard Wedding

Last month, I had the honor of accompanying Lauren Gay to photograph Taunya and Jake's beautiful wedding.  It was an absolutely beautiful crisp fall day and Bluemont Vineyard is such a gorgeous venue!  Throughout the ceremony and reception I was struck with, not only the beauty of the setting, but also just how much this couple loves each other.  It was inspiring to watch and so much fun to photograph!  Here are a few of my favorites from Taunya and Jake's special day...

Taunya, you are stunning!

Look at this view!

The newlyweds!

Such a gorgeous place for a reception!  I'm crazy about the lanterns.

Last one--the big finale!

Congratulations, Taunya and Jake!  I'm so thankful I was there to witness the beginning of your forever!

Audrey | World's Happiest One Year Old!

Audrey just celebrated her first birthday!  Right before her big day, I was able to spend some time with her around the stone bridge at Manassas Battlefield.  This was my third session with Audrey.  Each time I have been blown away at her sweet disposition.  It takes about 5 seconds to fall in love with her! Check out this happy little girl...

This image was immediately my favorite and I couldn't wait to send it to Audrey's mom right away when it popped up on my computer!

Can you even believe these sweet cheeks are for real?

After a quick wardrobe change, we found some beautiful wildflowers to use as a backdrop.  This outfit was just too much!

The headband Audrey wore was custom made by a friend of her Mommy.  Isn't it unique and perfect?

Somebody knows how to blow bubbles!

Audrey's Mommy brought her a cake.  It was so fun watching her try it for the first time!  She wasn't quite sure just how it worked or whether or not she really liked it!

Audrey, I'm so thankful I got to watch you grow during your first year of life!  Tell your Mommy and Daddy thanks for sharing you with me.  I hope to see you again soon!
