The Foard Family | Fall 2016

Fall Mini Session | The Hoffman Family

Fall mini sessions are in full swing! But it's especially wonderful when I get to photograph family  members. The Hoffman family kicked off my Fall season for me this year! Here are a few of my favorites from their session...

{Fall Mini Session} The Seabolt Family

I'm finally getting around to blogging this very patient family's session, and it's a beautiful one. I knew they lived up on the mountain not too far from me, but I didn't realize just how far up on top of the mountain they actually lived....and I am so thankful for it. It was the most beautiful ride I've had in a long time to a clients session, and the leaves were just at peak and perfectly crisp, waiting for the shutter to click.

My little family has known Danny for quite some time, but I've just recently gotten to know his wife, Ashley, and I absolutely love her to pieces. She is just wonderful, and I am so happy we finally got to meet in person a few weeks ago...and their adorable kiddo's!

Here are a few of my favorites from their session...

{Fall Mini Session} The Foard Family

There are those families throughout my career that make me feel like a part of them when I am around. The Foard's are one of those families. I can remember how shy and timid Harry was when I first took their fall family photos four years ago. And I can definitely remember how much of a nervous wreck I was. They were my very first paid family session, and I was terrified I couldn't deliver.

They were gracious and told me they loved their photos from that day, and maybe they still do, but as I look back, I am amazed by how much my style and technique has grown. But most of all, I am amazed by how much little Harry has grown. This kid keeps me laughing, and his curly hair is just a mama's dream. Now, Harry doesn't shy away from me at all. In fact, he's quite the ham for the camera. And I love it.

Here are a few of my favorites from their session a few weeks ago....

I know his face is crazy in this last photo, but it was just too cute not to share!
Thank you so much, Rick and Stephanie, for once again allowing me to capture your beautiful family. I hope you enjoy your photos!!
xoxo

{Sneak Peek Fall Mini} Joe + Brandy

These two were such troopers during their session. Let me just say, for as windy as it was, they never lost their smiles, and Brandy's hair was always beautiful! And...they brought along their two lovable black labs, which instantly stole my heart! As I told them, I love taking photos of people, but I extra love taking photos of two beautiful people in love. These two are just adorable, and I am so pleased that they chose me to take their photos!!

Here are a few of my favorites from their session last week...

{Fall Mini Session} The B Family

Last week I met up with this precious little family for the third year in a row. It is incredibly awesome to see these little fella's grow right before my eyes. I can't even imagine how that makes their momma and daddy feel!

At the end of our session, one of the little guys came up to me and gave me a giant hug and said "thank you for taking our photos". He was a ham for the camera, but he warmed my heart more than he knows. This is why I love my job!!

Here are a few of my favorites from their session....

{Fall Mini Session} Steve, Carina, Ashton + Owen

If I told you how lovely, beautiful, talented, amazing, incredible, gorgeously fun this family is, you might call me a little biased -- just a little. But they are all of those things, whether they are my family or not! A couple of weeks ago I had the privilege of once again photographing my sister and her precious little family. The sun was going down quickly -- shame on me, still trying to get used to Autumn time! But we were still able to get several great photos, between Steve being as stiff as a door nail, Carina laughing at my jokes more than anyone else, and Ashton laughing every five seconds whether I told a joke or not. Believe it or not, the littlest was the easiest of them all to photograph -- and that doesn't happen often. Either way, they were awesome :)

Here are a few of my favorites from their session!

{Fall Mini + Senior Session} The Dawson Family | Old Town Warrenton

This year, as always, Summer was my extremely slow season. I welcomed it with open arms, but I must admit, it was incredibly exciting seeing this view behind the lens over the weekend. My Fall photography season is in full swing, and I could not have asked for a better family to kick it off for me!  Not only is this family just amazingly awesome, they are also part of our family, and our Church family. We get the best of both worlds -- not only are they my husband's cousins family, they are also our Pastor and his little brood! Here are a few of my favorites from their session in Old Town Warrenton this weekend....

{Fall Mini Sessions} The Entire Month of October!

It's time to start thinking about those Fall family photo sessions! 
Now is the perfect time to book your fall mini session for the month of October, during peak leaf season. 
Cost is $125 for a 20-30 minute session | 10+ digital images through instant download | complete printing rights | and only in the Fauquier/Culpeper/Rappahannock area.

Popular locations this year are Crockett Park, Culpeper Feed (beside the depot, best on Sundays when they are closed), Private Remington Farm, Private Castleton Farm....and so many more!
These photos are great for Christmas cards, Christmas gifts, or just to add that spark of color to your wall...especially to get you through the winter months!
This year, as with years past, I have once again decided to offer these mini sessions for the entire month of October. I had thought about doing them on just particular days, but I love my clients way too much for that. Each and every one of you has a busy schedule, just like me, so I wanted to offer the entire month so that we could work around your schedule, and the weather, of course. 
Please contact me ASAP if you are interested in a Fall Mini Session for the month of October. These will not last long, as seen in previous years when I had to turn people away :( I will try my hardest NOT to turn anyone away this year!
Please contact me at amy.fewell@gmail.com, 540.827.8285 or on facebook. If you do not receive a reply within 48 hrs through email or phone contact, please try facebook. Unfortunately, technology can be silly at times, and I have horrible cell service at home.

Fall Mini Session | Mike + Nicole

I've known Mike since we were little. My mom and his mom, to this day, are still close friends. So naturally I was delighted when his beautiful better half emailed me to ask if I'd take their photos :)

I haven't been to Crockett Park in YEARS. I mean, literally, probably about 15 yrs. But I am so happy they chose to take their photos there and expanded my ever growing list of favorite places for photo shoots!

Here are a few of my favorites from their session.

I so wish he would've loosened up and smiled in all of the photos like he did in this last photo!!

Thank you both so much for allowing me to capture you behind the lens!!
I hope you enjoy your photos <3

Fall Mini Session | The Marshall 'gals'

These two beautiful young ladies booked their session with me after seeing their friends session that I photographed over the summer. 

Shanna decided to do their session at the Waterloo Bridge in Amissville -- thankfully by the time their session came along, most of the traffic had died down. But, we still had a few scatters to the side of the bridge ;)

Here are a few of my favorites.

I think these photos are some of my favorites out of all of the photos I've ever taken :)
I bought a new 50mm 1.8g lens a couple of weeks ago, and I can definitely tell the difference in my photography!! So happy with the way these turned out.

Shanna has already received her photos from her session as she chose to do "instant download" through Dropbox.com. You, too, can choose this option with your upcoming session so that I can plop the photos right into a file on your desktop (or on your online account) once I have completed processing them. Otherwise, flashdrives and discs are still available.

Don't forget, I am almost COMPLETELY booked for Christmas Mini Sessions in November. If you are interested in booking a session, please contact me ASAP!! More details here.
