We rescheduled this shoot with the Smith family once because of a threat of rain. It wasn’t a totally horrible forecast but if there’s one thing that I learned about Colleen when I photographed her wedding, it’s that she loves the GLOW!
Thankfully, waiting for the glow worked and we had the most AMAZING light for their Pharsalia Farm family portrait session! I photographed Lance and Colleen’s wedding *almost* a decade ago! WILD! And now they have 7 and 4 year old boys who remind me so much of our own. It was so wonderful to see old friends and get to capture this season of their lives. It really feels like I just shot their wedding 3-4 years ago. I’m not sure how time has flown by so quickly. I left their session with a card full of epic portraits and a full heart. I’m so grateful for KJ Couples who allow me to capture their wedding AND their beautiful families years later!!! Enjoy my favorites from this gorgeous Pharsalia Farm session!
Thanks for reading!
