The Cox Family at Old City Cemetery | Lynchburg Family Pictures

This family holds a special place in my heart! Some of my Santa visitors may recognize Lauren as she often helps me during our Santa Experience weekend! I first met Lauren when her husband, Gerald, bought her a mini session as a gift to capture the season of life when their oldest daughter, Hailey, was just a toddler! Since then (9 years?!), I have had the honor of not only photographing more of their life’s special events, but also growing closer to their family! Our husbands are friends, our children are friends, and we and have even been on a few vacations together. They are truly a gift. <3

Fall Family Mini Sessions in Lynchburg, VA

Fall Family Mini Sessions in Lynchburg, VA

It’s that time of year again! Fall family mini sessions in Lynchburg, VA are opening for booking soon! I’m really excited this year because all of the sessions will be held in the studio driveway in the New London area of Forest, VA. There’s nothing more autumn like than being surrounded by tall trees covered in fall foliage!

2013 in Review: Thank You

2013 in Review: Thank You

Wow! What a year!! Many memories made, lessons learned, and experiences were had. I met so many wonderful families, witnessed the most beautiful couples make forever promises, and had the opportunity to get to know so many people.

Thank you, thank you, thank you to each and every one of you who picked me to capture your memories and be a tiny part of your lives this year.

Merry Christmas 2013

I hope everyone that reads this was able to wake up to a warm, cozy home full of peace, love, and joy this morning. I hope you are surrounded by loved ones and will feel the true love of Christ in your heart and your surroundings today. 

"He came not to a throne, but to a manger.
He lived not as a king, but as a servant.
He chose not an earthly kingdom, but a cross.
He gave not just a little, but everything."

Here's our family Christmas card we mailed out this year. They went out a little late, so this may be a spoiler for some of you who haven't received them yet. Ah well, better late than never!

Merry Christmas, Friends!

From our family to yours: Thank you for the many ways you blessed our family this year. We're looking forward to creating more memories with you in 2014 and we can't see what God has planned for those whose paths we will have the pleasure of crossing!

P.S. Check back next week for the kick-off to our First Annual Best-Of Contest!! 

Fall Faces | Lynchburg Family Photographer

I am climbing out from under this pile of work today:

... to share with you some of the most beautiful kids in the world!

My Fall Mini Session Day on Sunday was a great success! The weather was absolutely perfect, the trees were so colorful, and each family was a breeze to photograph. When my morning started with little baby Jackson and his parents, I said "Wow I hope all sessions today go as smoothly as this one!" And they all totally did.

Here is a little peek into the beautiful kiddos I got to spend my day with:

And this adorable girl wasn't actually with me this Sunday, but rather last Sunday... but I cannot help to post a photo of her with this group. B-e-a-utiful!

I hope those precious faces brought a smile to your face today. They sure did mine! I'm off to keep trekking through my pile of work.

Happy Thursday, friends!
