Hannah | 2013 Senior | Chatham, Virginia Photographer

Hannah is a 2013 Homeschool Senior...go HS! (Just a plug here, but I'm currently homeschooling a child (not my own) and totally support the idea!) Hannah was a ton of fun and up for anything that I asked her to do:) When we started, I asked her if she liked having her photos taken...to which she replied, "not really." HA! Hopefully she has a different opinion after her session with us:) I just wrapped up editing her session, so I thought I would share a few faves until I can get them all uploaded for her into her gallery:) Check out this beautiful young lady!

Love her personality:)

A little black and white...

A little sass in purple...

Loved this dress...

And for something a little different...my little Thumbelina!

Hannah, we hope you love your senior photos! You were tons of fun and we are enjoying getting to know you!

The Custers | Family Session | Chatham, Virginia Photographer

The Custers are some good friends of ours who live out of town...so since they were in for the weekend, they booked a session with us for their little family, and for Layla's turning ONE! We were so excited about this session! Layla is just too cute...and her Mommy and Daddy are so much fun to be around! I seriously think this is one of the cutest families ever!! It was too hard to pick only a few faves, so here are quite a few;) I'm not quite finished with the whole session yet, but these will hold them over!

Sun-shots are some of my favorites:)

Layla knows "nose!"

Daddy love:)

Mommy love:)

I don't know about you, but I think Layla looks a lot like Mommy here:)

There are too many of Layla on the quilt that I love!

Sigh.

Such a sweet, fun family!

Kattie | 2013 Gretna Senior | Gretna, Virginia Photographer

Kattie is yet another beautiful senior that I've had the honor of photographing this year. Kattie's friend, Marissa, our first 2013 Senior, talked her into booking with me after she tagged along on her session:) So, I had already met Kattie prior to her session, and I knew she was going to be tons of fun! I loved her use of accessories, her hair color (it was lighter the last time I saw her), and her willingness to pose however I asked her to! I am not quite finished with her session, but here are a few favorites so far...I had a hard time narrowing them down!

We started downtown...

She has simply gorgeous eyes...

My absolute FAVORITE here...

Look at those LASHES!

Of course, as always, field shots are some of my favorites! Look how warm the light was! I was in LOVE...I could shoot there everyday and not get tired of it:)

When I told Kattie that I wanted to try a hat with her, she was hesitant at first..."I don't like hats!" I told her just try it...I must say, we were both happy with the results. I told her she might as well start wearing one everyday since she works it so well! :)

Yep, Kattie is a baller! She also plays volleyball! Quite the athlete:)

Thanks, Kattie, for booking your senior session with us! We had tons of fun with you! We hope you LOVE your photos:)

Kristen is a 2013 Gretna Senior. We were stoked about doing her session down by the sunflower field!

I haven't quite finished her session yet, but here are a few of my favorites so far!

Jessica | Maternity | Gretna, Virginia Photographer

Jess is a good friend of mine...so I was so excited when I heard she was expecting! With that being said, I was even more thrilled when she asked me for a maternity session! She is very creative, so I knew she would have tons of ideas to throw at me:) Together we came up with some cute things to celebrate this special time for her and her hubby, Jonathan! I was bummed we ran out of daylight, but we still got a lot of photos! Here are a few of my favorites so far:

Previews! | Danville, VA Family Photography

Jennifer called to book a session with her and 4 kids...I was excited to do it because I have "shot" her kids before and already knew how beautiful they were! We discussed the style she would like and she mentioned using a chair. I told her I didn't have one, so we both set out looking. Well, Jennifer scored the chair, and it was the perfect color for the field shots she wanted in front of her house! We started off downtown...then headed back to the field. We had such a great session...Here are a few previews to hold them over until I'm finished:)

Aren't they all gorgeous?! I can't wait to finish this session! Be sure to add us on Facebook so you can keep up with our latest sessions!

Reese Previews | Siblings | Chatham, Virginia Photographer

Yesterday evening was rather HOT to say the least, but these clients were tough! I'd say it paid off...

Here are a few of my favorites so far:)

Franklin Previews | "Me & My Boys" | Chatham, Virginia Photographer

Heather is a friend that I went to school with that I haven't seen in years! We keep in touch some on Facebook, but to say I was thrilled

when she asked me to do photos of her and her boys would be an understatement. I see pictures of them online often, and their cuteness is just oozing!

Here are a few previews from their session yesterday!

Sigh. How can there be so much cuteness! Look for another post of more of their photos to come soon:)

In the Field... | Chatham, Virginia Photographer

This session was done in addition to the garden session...I was going for a flower theme. I had told the ladies to wear summer dresses and bring any hair accessories they had. I didn't expect them to show up with all kinds of  accessories! Casie had the flower head piece, a summer hat, and facinators! Bridget ended up wearing the hat, Chloe kept it natural, and Casie ended up looking like my hippie flower child, LOL.

I am so glad that this session didn't go as planned because I ended up having the opportunity to try other things! I hope you enjoy looking through these as much as I enjoyed taking them! These girls are gorgeous and were so much fun!

Here are a few of my favorites!

These ladies are just gorgeous! We had fun tons of fun doing this session...Looking forward to many more!

Kolton is 10 months old! | Chatham, Virginia Photographer

My sweet "baby" boy is growing up so fast:( He is learning so much now that he is mobile...yes, you heard that right! He started walking about 2 weeks ago. He now has 4 teeth and loves eating off of Mommy & Daddy's plates:) I can't believe his 1st birthday is just around the corner!

Sigh. I know, time flies...but for now, I want to just take in all of this cuteness...join me?

Thanks for viewing;)
