Kate Ryals | Senior 2016

We had a lot of fun at this session -- because she was totally in her element! And she absolutely made my evening when she said, "you know, I thought this was going to be really weird, but it was actually a lot of fun."

Over ten years ago I would have never imagined doing what I do, because I was just a teenager myself. And I certainly never thought about Senior portrait sessions back then. Photography has come a long way. I am so happy I get to capture these moments for these beautiful young people. They are so fun and raw in these moments, and they make my job easy!

Here are a few of my favorites from Kate's 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!!

{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} 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 :)

{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!
