Family Session: Farm Land - Leesburg, VA

There isn't much to not love about the setting for this family's photoshoot.  Green rolling hills, rolled bales of hay and a golden sunset. Add to that - adorable smiles, pinchable cheeks, a beautiful mama and you'll get some pretty great pictures!

Family Session: Sauvie Island - Portland, OR

Over the summer, I visited my family in Oregon and had the chance to take my sister's family photos.  My sister and I both love rustic shabby chic, so we went on a little adventure to find a rustic country setting.  Lucky for us, Sauvie Island provided endless farmland and gravel roads, and the setting sun couldn't have been more picturesque. 

Family Session: Beach Vacation - Kitty Hawk, NC

In September, my family and I took a nice, relaxing beach vacation in the Outer Banks of North Carolina.  It was absolutely gorgeous and exactly what we needed...to relax with our feet in the sand and a glass (ok maybe a few glasses) of wine.  The weather couldn't make up it's mind but luckily I was able to capture these precious moments during this gorgeous morning.

Serene Acres and my love of horses.

Serene Acres is the name of the riding center in Bluemont, VA that I have absolutely fallen in love with and find myself wishing I could spend my days here.  The name pretty much sums up the feeling you get when you stand amidst the acres of lush green grass and friendly horses.  I breath in the fresh air and as I exhale, my worries and stress just seem to disappear.  I was eager to capture the atmosphere of this charming farm and share it with others.
