And the award for best client goes to... | Battery Heights Family Session

It is always a great feeling to get a referral from a past client.  I love getting emails that begin with, "I was talking with my friend about family photos and she recommended you...".  Honestly, word of mouth is the one and only form of advertisement for my business, so it's such a blessing when clients are willing to put my name out there. I'm quite sure if I could give an award to my most faithful client, it would go to Tiffany!  I think 1/3rd of my fall family sessions were with families referred to me by her!  Tiffany and the rest of her family are incredibly sweet.  I always enjoy sessions with them so much!  The boys are getting so big--I could hardly believe how much they had changed since last year!  Here are a few of my favorites from our October session at Battery Heights in Manassas.

At the end of our time together, I realized that I had locked my keys in my van!  I was so thankful that these clients were friends.  They drove me all the way home, where I discovered my front door was locked, and then turned around and took me back the other direction to my husband.  Thanks Paul and Tiffany--you guys definitely win the award for clients who've gone the extra mile!  I hope to see you again very soon!

Here Comes the Sun! | Family Session

After a week of rain, it was so exciting to finally see the sun on the morning I met Ted and Danielle and their two beautiful children!  Their daughter, Sophie is incredibly charming.  She is a very independent 19 month old and loves to explore!  And little Ewan was only 11 weeks old when we met.  He is such a laid back, content baby boy!  I'm happy to share some of my favorite photos from the morning I spent with this beautiful family.

Thanks so much Ted, Danielle, Sophie and Ewan!  Hope to see you again soon. :)

The Laymans | Family Session

I met with the Layman family at Manassas Battlefield several weeks ago for an early fall session.  It had been a very rainy week and this day was no different.  It was drizzly and pretty chilly, but we decided to give it a go!  I'm so glad we did because it was a great session.  We enjoyed getting to know one another and finding out how much we have in common.  Kent and Lissy are from Missouri and lived very close to where I grew up!  Our families moved to Virginia about a month apart and we now live in the same neighborhood.  It's definitely a small world!  Not only did I enjoy talking with Kent and Lissy, their kiddos are also as sweet as can be!  I felt so bad about the cold and spitting rain, but this family stayed positive and I think it paid off!  Here are some of my favorites from our time together.

Thanks for braving the weather with me, Laymans!  I'm sure our paths will cross again!
