Halloween 2019 || Eiban Family Celebration

Well, Halloween 2019 looked a lot different than years past, thanks to a huge storm that hit Central Virginia! We dressed up, got some photos, and knocked on a handful of neighbors doors before the rain started, we headed home and instead watched Harry Potter. So, while it looked a little different than our traditions years past, it was still fun, and plenty of memories made!

We let Emmie pick the Halloween costumes for her & Sully this year- she has been loving watching the Avengers Movies with Michael the past few weeks, and picked Black Widow for herself, and Captain America for Sully. I’ll admit, I had never even heard of Black Widow before, but we found a costume and the kids looked adorable. Sully hated wearing his mask, but after some persuasion, we got a few photos with him wearing it. And by persuasion, I mean, pinning him down and very quickly snapping photos ;)

Sunset Beach, North Carolina Family Portrait Session

Sunset Beach, North Carolina is one of our favorite places to unwind and vacation, but when I get to do photos out there, I will gladly take on a session or two while on vacation! I LOVE the beach and photos by the beach just have even more special memories attached to them! Knowing that every time anyone in the family sees these photos they will remember the laughs, the fun on the beach, the struggle to pack up what seems like the entire world to get those kids on the beach, the late night chats, and the time spent with their family, just adds a whole different approach to the photos! 

When Caitlin first emailed me, it seemed like fate that we were both going to be on vacation there at the same time! I was so excited! After an afternoon of thunderstorms, it was a beyond gorgeous evening- the heat was gone, and the sky was just gorgeous! I had such a blast with this amazing family!

Our Sunset Beach, North Carolina Vacation

Sunset Beach is a sleepy little beach town in southern North Carolina and it holds such a special place in our hearts. It was our first vacation location as a family- I still remember bringing Emmie- she was just learning how to crawl, and we had the best time. We've tried to make it back down there every year since, so we were both so excited when we were able to make it happen again this year! This year, my side of the family came along with us! 

It's true- bringing a little baby on vacation is challenging- and even more so challenging heading to the hot beach, but it's so worth it! We prepared for the heat with a portable fan, a beach tent, and cooling towels, sunscreen, hats, and so much more! Our car was packed to the brim, and amazing memories were made! 

Our last night out, I finally pulled my camera out and we took some family photos on the beach. Sully was exhausted and wasn't in his typical cheery mood, but we made it work & I'm so thankful we did!

The Griffin Family's Lifestyle Session || Lynchburg, Virginia Wedding and Portrait Photographer

Oh my goodness! I am so thrilled to be sharing photos from the Griffin Family's session! If anything makes me more excited to have this baby, it's snuggling and photographing sweet Edwin! 

It's always so special to me when I get asked back to document these amazing moments in a families life. I do not take this lightly, and it really means so much that this family has had me photograph so many life-changing moments over the past few years! It's so fun to go into their house and see so many of my photos printed on their walls, from maternity sessions, Christmas cards, extended family, and newborn. To be asked back to photograph their newest member of their family was so special!

Lynchburg Family and Maternity Photographer || The Griffin Family

Photographing friends & their families are so special to me! I've been taking photos of the Griffin Family for a few years now- ever since she was pregnant with Hamilton, and it's always such an honor to document milestones each year and seeing how much their little one is changing! Jenn is pregnant with baby #2 now and due in March (yay March babies!) and is seriously just stunning! 

We met out at the Ivy Creek Park in Lynchburg, Virginia this week! It was the perfect location, with the sun setting, the gorgeous trees & lake! I need to remember this one more! They dressed all up for me and looked AMAZING & Jenn had a flower crown made by Foraged & Cut for some individual photos and I am obsessed! 

Thanks Griffin Family for always trusting me to document your family! I know it's cliche' but it really is such an honor when there are so many people you can choose from! Love you guys!!
