Daddy's Little MVP

I look forward to catching up with this lovely family every year.  When the kids were younger, I had the pleasure of seeing them every few months to capture the latest milestones, but now that they’re a little older we get together in late October to capture some updated memories and holiday card shots each year.  This year they brought along their team jerseys to show off their team spirit and the kids perked right up, running and throwing the football back and forth.  Love the one of Dad and son…makes my heart melt!  Thanks for peeking!

Out and About in Downtwon Fredericksburg

I was so excited when I received an email from one of my clients to photograph her new extended family.  She wanted to do something different other than trees in the background so we agreed to walk around downtown and capture some unforgettable memories.  It was such a beautiful fall day and the kids were very excited to be in front of the camera.  The girls love for one another really shined through.  The pictures are intended for holiday gifts and I think the recipients are going to be very excited to see them. 

High School Seniors - Life Long Memories Photography Style

This handsome guy was able to turn "it" on and off with ease throughout his session.  No easy task for him, since he'd been up almost the entire previous night celebrating Homecoming!  Once he woke up a bit, we quickly rolled through his session so he could get some rest.  Mom and little sister came along for some fun shots!  Love this one of the 3 of them jumping together!  Such a cute family. So many favorites to share with him and mom, but a Sneak Peek for now.  Enjoy!

Life Long Memories Photography- Sweet 3 month Session

This adorable 3 month old sweetie and her lovely parents were such a pleasure to capture.  We decided to hold the session in her beautiful lilac nursery, and she snuggled and cooed so sweetly the entire time.  The puppies were dying to come in and join the session, so dad had to hold them back while we worked.  I couldn’t resist snapping a shot of him restraining them…you can just see the excitement and anticipation on their little faces.  They just adore that little baby as much as mom & dad do.  Looking forward to capturing her milestones over the next year, many sweet memories to come.

Fredericksburg, Va - High School Senior Session

High School Seniors are the best!  I had a flurry of girls to photograph first, then a group of boys scheduled. This handsome guy was a dream in front of the camera, with the most amazing eyes.  His mom and I have been planning this session for well over a year, so it was fun to get it done.  Golfing is his passion, so we started at the Fredericksburg Country Club to showcase where he plays.  Riding around on the golf cart to the different locations was a blast and they were kind enough to give me some golf pointers, which I quickly realized I knew nothing about!  A few of my favorites to share…

Fredericksburg, Va Maternity Portrait Photographer

This adorable couple was full of giggles and fun, and couldn’t stop snuggling.  Dad came home on leave for a few days, so we were able to meet up to capture their baby bump before he headed back out.  The day called for rain, so we were so worried we wouldn’t be able to get together, but the rain held off and gave us just enough time to finish up.  Looking forward to meeting their new baby in a few weeks!

Holiday Card Time!

It's that time of year again...time to update your family portraits and find that perfect image for the annual holiday card.  I know some of you are feeling the pressure to "out-do" your card from last year.  I get comments throughout the year on my previous holiday card, and how can I possibly do something cuter than the Reindeer or Gingerbread baker cards from the last two years?  We shall see how cooperative my five are!   I am sharing some brand new templates that are available to you this year.  Each can be customized to change the greeting, color scheme, etc.  Thanks to all of my adorable clients who I borrowed their beautiful faces to showcase the templates.  The 5x7 Watercolor folded cards are still available...those are always a popular option.  You may use any of the photos from your sessions this past year for your cards...contact me right away so we can get started designing your perfect card.  Order your cards before November 15, 2010 and receive a portrait holiday ornament for your tree.

Beautiful & Fun Family Session

This very fun and energetic family was up for anything, and we walked all around downtown Fredericksburg and down to the River to dip our toes in.  It was too funny when I slipped on a rock and landed square in the river, YIKES! We scheduled their session way back in the summer, so I had months to look forward to it.  So thankful the weather was beautiful and had the best time capturing them all.
