The Pinson Family . South Central Va Family photographer

This was the perfect session to be my last one in Beaufort. This family was so adorable and just all around fun to be around! I was excited they included their dog Rocco in the photos as well, he did so well posing for me. Sadly Rocco passed away after these photos were taken, I was so glad I was able to photograph him when he was happy and with the people that loved him most. Here are some of my favorites from their session

Grace + Corey . South Central / Gretna Va couples photographer

I've known Grace since we were little and I got to photograph her and her sisters last year so I was excited to get to meet her boyfriend Corey and photograph them and their dog Achilles :) Here are some of my favorites

The Christopher's . Family . Occoquan Va . Stafford Va photographer

Heather is another girl I've "known" for a really long time and we've been talking about doing this shoot for what seems like years but we finally got to do it last month. We started out in Occoquan for some photos of her and her hubby then headed to their new homesite for some with their pup Ra who I fell in love with! I can't wait to see their house completely finished but it was fun to take photos of them where it will be, something you don't always get to do :)
Heather & Brett thank you guys for letting me photograph ya'll and Ra! I had so much fun even if it was insanely hot :)


not so happy to see me

The Rauch's . Fredericksburg Va photography

I cannot say enough about this couple. I met Vanessa way way way back in like 2004 on Xanga and was fortunate enough to photograph them in 2007ish when they were stationed in Lejeune. In August of 2008 while Courtney was deployed in Afghanistan his humvee was hit by an IED severely injuring him. You can read more about that here. As a result of the accident he lost part of his leg, but trust me that hasn't stopped him from doing anything he wants to do. Both Courtney and Vanessa are two of the strongest people I know and they both have super big hearts especially when it comes to dogs. They have four furbabies that are absolutely adorable! I met Toby and Lucy when we did our first shoot and got this photo which is still one of my favorites

Now their a family of 6 with the addition of Tucker and Alabama and although it may be chaotic at times they are all so fun and one big happy family. I was so happy I was able to photograph this family again we had so much fun, thank you guys again!
