family cuddles in a grassy field at Blandy

Family Photos 2023


My VA clients come from Winchester, Berryville, Aldie, Leesburg, Strasburg, Clearbrook and more. It's always fun to learn where they're from and hear their stories!


I met this sweet Berryville family through a local MOPS group when my oldest was just a baby, and I was in Mandy's group. She was the sweetest table leader and hostess!

The first time I showed up to their house for a session, the whole family came to help me haul in my gear. Mandy even had some homemade cookies and a thank you note for me when I left! It wasn't expected, but so appreciated.

The kiddos are as sweet as can be, and it's obvious where they get it from. Way to go mom and dad! I'm genuinely impressed.

But enough talking–look at these adorable munchkins!

I like to choose a central location when possible, and Blandy worked out perfectly. It was beautiful as ever, and we took advantage of a few of its many backdrops. The kids were so cooperative and sweet! I think maybe the promise of a prize from the treasure chest might have *helped* but I'm convinced they'd have been just as willing even without it (we'll never know).

Lastly, a sweet candid moment between daddy and daughter just before we wrapped up. The way she looked at him just melts my heart!

Thank you B family for such a wonderful family session. It was a privilege working with you, and I love knowing that I got to be a part of creating something you will cherish all the more as the seasons change and these precious little ones grow!
