Emerson's 5th Birthday || Lynchburg and Charlottesville Photographer

Excuse me while I'm wiping away some tears and feeling super sentimental, as we celebrated Emerson's FIFTH birthday last month! It's been a few weeks now, and I'm still emotional thinking about how much she's grown up!  I had all intention to share this post on her actual birthday, but it's the tail end of busy season, so all personal things get pushed aside! ;) 

Em was so super excited for her birthday this year, and has been counting down the days for over a month.  She's all about cartwheels, so it only seemed natural that she chose to have a gymnastics birthday party! It was so much fun seeing her there with her friends and loving each moment of attention.  

And, I can't have a birthday post without sharing some of the sweetest photos from over the last five years! *Most of these are iPhone photos* 

Thanks so much to all our friends and family that came to celebrate Emmie this year! It really means the world to me to see her loved by so many people so very well!

Fall Family Photos || Lynchburg family and portrait photographe

Catching up on some amazing sessions from this Fall! It's such a blessing to be busy and have so many sessions, but that means that I end up getting behind on everything else, including blogging! 

I love the change of pace that fall brings, where I photograph more families than usual! Changing things up is always a good thing in my book, especially when it means I get to snuggle up with some sweet babies and meet new people! Just a warning, I will snuggle your baby and do the goofiest things to get them to look at me and smile! ;) The Long family was no exception! I loved spending the afternoon with them and snuggling their little guy!

Summer Family Session || Lynchburg, VA Wedding and Family Photographer

This family!! They are seriously SO adorable! I loved that they were so light-hearted, laughing and having fun the entire session!  AND Oh my goodness, it seriously blows my mind that the last time I did photos for this sweet family was when she was pregnant with Noah! It was such an honor to do their family photo session, to meet their BEAUTIFUL kids and see them having fun and interacting with each other!

Nate & Chloe: Lynchburg, Virginia Family Session

These two cuties hold such a special place in my heart! I babysat Nate from the time he was 12 weeks old.. .and here he is 2.5! No matter how many times I tell them to stop growing up, they just keep getting bigger! I can't believe Chloe is over 6 months old now! But it's so fun and rewarding to have your kids and their friends growing up to these fun and energetic little people with oh so much personality! ;) 

Hard to believe that the weather here was nice enough for short sleeves just a few weeks ago! Now there's snow on the ground and temps have been hitting record lows. Oh Virginia!! But, I'll take the warm days- they help keep me sane until Spring comes for good! 

And since Emmie came along with me on this fun little shoot... I of course had to get a shot of these sweet friends! 

And.. I have to share this one! This entire shoot wasn't all smiles and giggles! Working with kids takes patience! :) 

I'm so ready for Spring and Sunshine now! Melt snow MELT!! 

Lynchburg, VA Family Photographer: Klinger Family Photos

Happy November! :) 

While I do LOVE summer, mostly because I hate being cold, this is my favorite time of the year.  Starting the Christmas shopping and decorating, Thanksgiving, boots, the coffee (haha of course!) and the beautiful trees! Just the best backgrounds ever! The Klinger family wanted to get some updated family photos in their new town (yay Lynchburg!) with the fall trees and some country/barn feel! We found the perfect country setting for their beautiful family session!

The Klingers were such troopers today! It was so so so cold, but these kids were AWESOME! We may or may not have bribed them with Halloween candy, and told them "this is the very last picture!" about 10 (or more) times! ha!

Interested in scheduling your family photo session in the Lynchburg, Virginia or surrounding areas, contact me! I have a limited amount of sessions available! Just in time to order Christmas cards!
