Lynchburg, VA Family Photographer || Gavin Family

I'm so excited to be sharing this family session with you today! The  Gavin family had me laughing our entire session- those boys have some big, fun personalities that is just so fun to see! I was SO happy to see the sun shining, the wind died down, and it wasn't too cold out for their Saturday morning session! They wanted a natural environment with some pretty trees, fields so I had the perfect spot in mind in Lynchburg, Virginia! 

Sometimes with family sessions, it can be difficult to get little ones to open up and smile, but oh my goodness we did not have that problem with these two cuties! They were wiiiiiiide open and we all laughed together at their goofiness! We got lots of photo options for them- ranging from the entire family, just Mom and Dad (something that's always needed!!), individuals of the boys, the brothers together! Oh it was a blast! I loved getting to know this family & know you're going to love these photos too!!

Weekend Update || Lynchburg, VA Wedding and Family Photographer

Oh my goodness! We had SUCH a FUN weekend!! It was full of photo sessions- ranging from family, commercial to an engagement session! And on Sunday, we had a fun family day, with church, lunch, and a super-girly birthday party for Emerson. And knowing that this is a short week & I'm working suuuuuper limited hours, I'm so excited to finish up my projects today and take some time off & decorate for Christmas!! YAY! 

Saturday morning's family session was so much fun! Oh my goodness their two boys had me laughing! So full of energy- and we pulled out some potty jokes and got those great, natural smiles that we all love! Look how cute they are! 

Saturday evening, well, more like afternoon now that the sun sets so early, I met James & Tresa at Sweet Briar College, which is about 30 minutes away from Lynchburg. It's always beautiful there, but I was super surprised when I pulled up and almost all the trees still had their vibrant, fall colors! So beautiful & these two are so cute together! Plus, they brought along their puppy, which you KNOW I loved!! 

For Emerson's birthday party, I just grabbed a few cell phone photos- but they girls did mud masks, painted their nails, and did their own makeup and loved every single second of it! They all were talking about how much fun it was, which definitely helped reign my Mom-guilt in for the lack of planning I did during busy season! 

This time of year is so so busy, and it makes me enjoy the downtime so much! I am so thankful for all of my clients that make this so much fun!! Happy Thanksgiving week!! 

Lynchburg Family Photographer || The Offield Family

I cannot believe we're a week into November and just now hitting the peak of the fall colors! I'm not complaining though- it's so gorgeous- I just wish we could keep it around just a little bit longer! ;) 

I am so excited to share some photos from the Offield Family's Photo Session! I loved photographing them previously and that they made getting updated family photos done while they were in town! Krista ran the Mountain Masochist 50 miler the day before AND she freaking got first place. So, how she was standing the next day is beyond me, but she was there and looked amazing and wearing heels! Can we say super woman here? 

These kids have grown up SO much since I last photographed them, and oh my goodness did they have me laughing!! You know with all those boys there were some potty jokes mixed in!

Lynchburg Family Photographer || Smawley Family

Oh I'm so excited to share the Smawley's family photos! Kristin was our mortgage broker, and a HUGE  help to us when we bought our new house recently.  I was super excited when she contacted me needing some updated family portraits! Their family is so busy with football & work & life, so it's such an honor they took time off to spend with me for their photos! 

We met up at Sweet Briar College- which is such an amazing gem in the Lynchburg area! I love the history and character that all of the buildings offer! The Smawley Family wanted a rustic, barn feel, and I knew the Sweet Briar Dairy Barns would be the perfect fit! They're a gorgeous, worn white barn surrounded by open fields and wooden fencing!

Lynchburg Family Photographer || The Bell Family

I don't always photograph families, which is one of the reasons I especially love this season! All the families I get to document! Especially when it's a sweet family like this one! And it's always such an honor when families come back year and year! I love seeing much the kids grow and change over the year! The Bell family is so sweet & I loved getting together with them locally here in the Lynchburg area to update their family portraits! I'm so excited to share these photos from their family session!
