Yay! I love photographing amazing families as they grow- and I specifically loved photographing this beautiful family! Mr & Mrs Washburn are the sweetest and were so excited to get some updated photos of their family with their newest edition- Hamilton, the cutest little guy ever! 

Mr & Mrs Washburn serve as "honorary parents" here in Lynchburg for SO many- they had all of their "extended family" come out for some photos as well!

Brian & Alexa (Part I): Wethersfield, Connecticut Wedding Photographer

Ohhhh this wedding! <3 It's SO beautiful- I have to split up the blog post into two sections! Brian & Alexa are SO cute- and goodness we had so much fun on their wedding day! It may have been a difficult journey for me to actually arrive there (think airport layover. cinnabun. food poisoning. paramedics wheeling me off the plane.... haha more on this story later!) and I wasn't expected the freeeeeeezing temps, but any excuse to get in a little shopping, right?! haha

Brian & Alexa got married on a suppppppppeer chilly day in Wethersfield, Connecticut- at the beautiful Webb Barn! They had an intimate ceremony outside under this gorgeous tree, and then cocktail hour and the reception inside the barn! 

They did a first look (yay!) and oh my goodness, Brian's reaction was so priceless- it made me so so so glad for them that they took a moment to have together and celebrate before everything got crazy! Because we did a first look, we were able to get a ton of the bride & groom portraits out of the way, and the wedding party photos as well! Then everyone was able to enjoy cocktail hour and just overall have a blast! 

Oh my goodness!!! This is one of my very favorite first look photos ever! I loooooove his expression so much- and I am so so glad Brian & Alexa got to experience these emotions one-on-one!! 

Because we did a first look, we got to spend a lot of time together, getting lots of bride & groom photos- so they could enjoy their cocktail party with their guests! 

They had the most amazing Wedding Party- these poor girls were FREEZING- but they were troopers! I looooooove the colors- the grays and purples! <3 SO beautiful! 

Part Two Coming Tomorrow! Be sure to check back- you do not want to miss their intimate ceremony, more Bride & Groom photos- and their super fun reception!

Lynchburg,VA family photographer: our halloween

We had the best time celebrating Halloween this year! Emmie FINALLY decided on a kitty cat costume, after debating about 4 million other ideas. ;) Her preschool threw such a fun fall festival where we got to dress up, paint pumpkins, play games, pet bunnies that weighed as much as her, meet THE princess Anna, and even go on pony rides! She LOVED it!

 I took the day off of work, and she adored running errands with me in her kitty cat costume. We went to lunch (Poke-E-Joes! Lynchburg and Central Virginia friends- you MUST eat here! A local favorite!!)  She even asked some random guy on the street downtown Lynchburg... why he "didn't tell me i looked cute in my kitty cat costume." hahaha think she heard that a lot on Friday?! 

This below is probably my favorite picture of the day. One of Emmie's best friends at school is  a boy (yes... Mike HATES this!!).  They totally looked like they planned their outfits to go together, but didn't.  Then they went trick or treating through the administration offices holding hands like this! So precious! 

Then of course I had to get some photos of just Emmie in her costume.  She loves getting in front of the camera these days... especially when there's a candy bribe! ha. 

And, this is a family photo from trick-or-treating! Just with my iPhone, but still wanted to share! :) I made the decision to not bring my camera to trick-or-treating and it was SO nice to be in the moment and enjoying it! It's all about balance! ;) 

How was your Halloween! Did you or your family dress up as anything fun?!
