Lynchburg,VA family photographer: our halloween

LynchburgVirginaPhotographer

We had the best time celebrating Halloween this year! Emmie FINALLY decided on a kitty cat costume, after debating about 4 million other ideas. ;) Her preschool threw such a fun fall festival where we got to dress up, paint pumpkins, play games, pet bunnies that weighed as much as her, meet THE princess Anna, and even go on pony rides! She LOVED it!

 I took the day off of work, and she adored running errands with me in her kitty cat costume. We went to lunch (Poke-E-Joes! Lynchburg and Central Virginia friends- you MUST eat here! A local favorite!!)  She even asked some random guy on the street downtown Lynchburg... why he "didn't tell me i looked cute in my kitty cat costume." hahaha think she heard that a lot on Friday?!

This below is probably my favorite picture of the day. One of Emmie's best friends at school is  a boy (yes... Mike HATES this!!).  They totally looked like they planned their outfits to go together, but didn't.  Then they went trick or treating through the administration offices holding hands like this! So precious!

Then of course I had to get some photos of just Emmie in her costume.  She loves getting in front of the camera these days... especially when there's a candy bribe! ha.

And, this is a family photo from trick-or-treating! Just with my iPhone, but still wanted to share! :) I made the decision to not bring my camera to trick-or-treating and it was SO nice to be in the moment and enjoying it! It's all about balance! ;)

So so so excited to share a brief glimpse of John & Sam's wedding!! They had a beautiful country fall themed wedding at The Trivium, in Forest, Virginia. The weather made the most perfect day and they are the cutest couple! I love couples that are just so in love I don't even have to pose them or tell them what to do! They just cuddle up and love on each other!!

Lynchburg, VA Wedding Photographer: Samantha

I love shooting bridal portraits! It's so much fun to see the bride all dolled up before anyone else gets to! But it is SO difficult to keep these under wraps until the wedding day! And I was totally feeling that on Sam's beautiful session! Her dress is beautiful and she makes a STUNNING bride!!

VA Beach Senior Photographer: Micah Seth

You guys, nothing makes you feel older than shooting someone's SENIOR photos that you used to babysit... when he was your daughters age! That's right- I used to baby sit Micah when he was two! Gosh it makes me feel SO old and then start spiraling into thinking how I'm going to blink and it's going to be Emmie's turn! ahhh..

okay, let's just get to the photos instead of getting al emotional! ;) look at what a cutie Micah is! And oh my gosh! Those eyes!! 

We started out over at Regent University, such a beautiful campus to photograph at, and then headed over to the Chesapeake Arboretum.

Charlottesville Family Photographer: a trip to the apple orchard...

AKA- It is officially FALL! 

Before having Emmie we were super spontaneous.  We had  free weekends all the time, and never really had to consult our schedule when wanting to do something.  Somehow, since Emmie was born, our calendar has filled up, and we have to plan fun outings in advance. I'm not complaining one bit- a big reason for our busy schedule is this business- something I'm so thankful for! 

This weekend trip was special because it was planned so last minute. Like, the night before we were having dinner celebrating Mike's birthday and decided to go the next day! 

I grew up going to the Carter's Mountain Orchard, and was so excited to start bringing Emmie with us! This is one of our friend traditions now, and we all just love it! This is our third year packing up and heading out there with our babies!

Last year: 

And the year before... apparently we didn't get a GROUP photo! But look how little our babies are!


It can be a lot of work, but so worth it! If not for the apple cider donuts alone! ;)
