Pennington Family: Lynchburg, Virginia Family Portraits

It was so awesome taking photos with The Pennington Family again this year! This family started out as sweet swim team friends, and have turned into school friends, and distance learning sanity-saving texting friends! ;) I was so excited to meet up with them at Human Kind in Lynchburg, Virginia for some updated family photos! We had such a blast running around and laughing and catching up!

Kettinger Fall Family Photos in Lynchburg, Virginia

I had so much fun meeting the sweet Kettinger Family this fall! Their little one is just so cute and spunky- and you know I’m a huge fan of those gorgeous curls on their two year old! Him and Sully should be BFFs! So thankful to have documented these precious memories for this family!

The Combs Family: Lynchburg, Virginia Family Photographer

Family Portraits at Ivy Creek Park in Lynchburg, Virginia

Fall Family Sessions are in full swing and I was so excited to see the Combs family again! I met them last year for my fall mini sessions, and was so honored to be invited back into their lives to capture these memories! We met at Ivy Creek Park in Lynchburg, Virginia and had a great time!

2019 Fall Mini Sessions || Family Photos at The Trivium Estate in Forest, VA

Now that Christmas Cards have been sent, I finally feel safe to share these photos! I hate to be the one that shares THE Christmas Card photo before the family gets to share them! In October, I hosted a fall-themed mini session day at The Trivium Estate, and oh my gosh, I love the final images so much!

I really wanted a neutral fall theme (no surprise there from this neutral-loving girl!) with whites, creams, sage greens, and slight touches of an orange! It turned out exactly as I was envisioning, and even though it rained that morning, the sun ended up coming out and we had a GREAT time! I can’t wait to make this an annual family photos event!

BIG Thank you to The Trivium Estate for allowing us to shoot mini sessions at their gorgeous Forest, Virginia venue and to Foraged & Cut for supplying eucalyptus to help complete the look!

Our Family's 2019 In Review!

Remember before Facebook and Social Media, getting a Christmas Card in the mail and a families Christmas Letter full of updates and accomplishments? It’s so much fun to look back on the year and see what has happened! Sometimes it’s hard to remember the day to day things that happen each year when you’re looking back 12 months later! So, consider this your virtual Life update Letter- which is way better because I can now include photos too! ;)

JANUARY we enjoyed some snow days, finding a routine with Sully and work/life balance, and tried to stay as warm as we could!

FEBRUARY held quite a few sick days, lots of ear infections, and some bonus snuggles!

MARCH We celebrated Sully turning ONE! I still cannot believe how fast his first year went! He also started taking some first steps and continuing being his sweet & happy self!

APRIL we celebrated my birthday- with an amazing weekend Michael planned! Sully is full-on walking, loves reading, and being outside!

MAY- Emmie finished 1st grade and jumped right into swim practice! We celebrated Mother’s Day and the welcoming of warmer weather!

JUNE- June was pretty full of swim team practice, meets, and fun events! We went on a trip and visited family friends at their home in Kerr Lake, got to drive the boat and spend lots of fun time together!

JULY- July was more of enjoying summer! Went to Smith Mountain Lake with Michael’s Family, and spent lots of time at the pool, more swim practice! Emmie made it to both championship meets and we are SO proud of her!

AUGUST- August brought the end of summer where we squeezed in extra family time, and the start of 2nd grade at a new school! Emmie loves riding the bus & her new friends and teacher!

SEPTEMBER we went to the circus, and had more family time celebrating Michael’s Birthday!

OCTOBER- October was a busy work season for me & Michael! Lots of weddings, family portraits, and marketing work! Halloween got stormed out- but we at least got to dress up for a few minutes and say hi to some sweet neighbors!

NOVEMBER Thanksgiving was fun and relaxing, and we welcomed Black Friday Shopping traditions with open arms!

DECEMBER was so full of holiday spirit! We truly enjoyed this time together this year, Christmas Town at Busch Gardens, Christmas Break, cookies, and so much more!

Oh that was so fun to look at and see how much these little ones have grown and done this year! And how much hair Sully has gotten in the last 12 months! WOW! We’re super excited for 2020, but, time can slow down just a little this year, please?!
