traditions

Even though this post centers around a holiday from last month, I feel like it really embodies the idea of thanksgiving for me.  Being able to start traditions with my daughter and seeing how she approaches them from year to year always inspires thankfulness for me.  Thankful that my daughter is another year bigger and stronger.  Excited to see her new ideas and how proud she is of herself as she's able to do things all by herself.  So many of my childhood memories begin with "remember how we always used to...." and I'm so happy to start creating those "remember how we's" for her.  Watching her paint her special pumpkin was a great way to start these months of family and thankfulness.  I shot this on Fuji Superia 400 which you can pick up at any Walmart or drugstore which goes to show you that you don't need fancy film to get beautiful images.  I shared a digital picture from this evening on Facebook back in October but the film shots are always a little bit more special to me.  All black and white images were converted by me.

Raney Family

This is one of my favorite sessions EVER.  This family, the light, the weather, everything was perfect.  Mom is an amazing photographer in my area and whenever I do a session for another photographer I just want it to be perfect because I know they'll be looking at their images with a trained eye.  I knew right away that it was going to be an awesome session when the kids had me cracking up as soon as I met them.  The light was so yummy that I never wanted to stop shooting.  I'm so honored that I was able to document this family and I hope they love these as much as I do.  Check out mom's gorgeous work here!  Thanks for looking!

Thomas Family

This family was one of my first when I opened my business last year.  I did my very first newborn session for their littlest one!  They are so laid-back, fun, and easy to be around and I barely even realize I'm "working" when I'm with them.  Our session was in one of my favorite places in VA and the fall weather and colors could not have been more perfect.  I am so happy I was able to photograph their family again and I was especially excited to be able to document the sweet relationship between the two girls since during baby's newborn session I was only able to get a couple of shots of them together.  Thanks for taking a look!
