~ 5 Generations ~ Carrollton, VA ~ Family Portraits

I had the touching experience of photographing 5 generations of women. From the great-great grandmother to the newest little lady! I loved this experience and being able to photograph them together and separately, and to give them something to have for years to come when they may not be able to be together. This family is truly beautiful and welcomed me as one of their own, we laughed, we smiled, and we captured the day in photographs.

~ Juliet ~ Quinton,VA ~ Newborn Session ~

This little angel made an early appearance which caused her Momma to miss out on a maternity session. But I guess it's ok as she made up for it with an amazing newborn session! She was very easy to work with, minus the fact that everyone involved got pee'ed on haha! I could have taken here pictures all day long and still wanted to do more. And a BIG thanks goes to her Momma for being so casual and helpful, it brought so much comfort to baby & me :)

Noah ~ Quinton,VA ~ Newborn Photos

You saw his parents from their baby bump session, now meet the little man...Noah! He was born a few days early but perfect in every way, and got to celebrate New Years Eve with his friend Hailey. (the baby from another baby bump session)What an adorable little boy and already so much personality. I couldn't resist sneaking in cuddle time in between pictures. And I can't wait to photograph him through out his life. He has amazing parents and I know he will grow to be an amazing boy, son, and one day, man.

New Effects/Actions

I have been trying out some new effects (photoshop actions and lightroom presets) and am loving some of the results. It is still going to take time to learn them, how to tweak them, and work with them to create beautiful photos! Here are some samples!!

Enjoy!
