You know what I’m realizing? I’m realizing I am loving getting to see people I love and miss in this very busy season of our life.
Caroline and I grew up together. She has literally known me through every. single. season. of my entire life. She bit me in the church nursery, we never missed a summer of VBS or mission trips, she is the only person I truly remember having memorable sleepovers with (maybe that’s because we slept in a boat parked in the backyard… that’s hard to forget!), and she has walked through all of the high highs and low lows alongside of me.
This post seems surreal. If you have followed me for a while, you may have seen their engagement session, their wedding and NOW, I get to introduce you to Brandon and Caroline’s precious family. They live in the most amazing piece of land on the Rappahannock. Their cabin on the shore is them to a “T”. It’s quaint, it’s quiet, it’s peaceful and it’s so natural. Michael and I loved getting a chance to slip up north for an evening with these four! Enjoy some of my favorites!
This entire session will be featured in our Behind the Scenes membership!
If you would like to watch and learn from behind the scenes, this shoot will be featured in KJ All Access soon! KJ All Access memberships include over 40+ episodes and dozens and dozens of hours of BTS training. Come join over 3,000 photographers around the world and learn in a new way, a real way and an authentic way!
Thanks for reading!
