me a few months ago and explained that she was a photographer in Harrisonburg, Virginia and that she had followed my work for a while. Then she explained that she had gotten married a few years ago and there were only a handful of pictures that she really LOVED! What?! AH!!! So she wanted to get back into her wedding attire and have a fun shoot with her husband! So that’s exactly what we did!!! Now that you’re excited about their “Day after” session (really more like “Years After” session:)……. I’m going to make you wait!! I’m so mean, I know. Today I’m posting their beautiful family
session that we shot the same afternoon as their portraits. Michael rode with me and tagged along and it was perfect because Michael LOVES kids and I loved having him there to help. We pulled up to the Whitmore’s beautiful home in the rolling hills, right outside of Harrisonburg. It had been storming all day and the sky was just beginning to clear up! YES! Perfect light!! The fields and rolling hills surrounding their home made for a perfect backdrop for their portraits and I loved getting to know their gorgeous children. Layla and Miles looked like they had just walked out of a “Baby Gap” add. Seriously, just wait until to you seen Layla’s head band! I loved it all! So enjoy this family shoot and get excited for tomorrow!!!
I mean really?? How good looking can one family be?!
So cute…
Probably a favorite! Molly I just love you!
These two were pros from the beginning!! Love this!!
beautiful girl:)
Thanks for reading!
