One of my very favorite end-of-summer activities is taking my family to the county fair!  Because we live in Harrisonburg, our family always attends the Rockingham County Fair at the Fairgrounds just outside Harrisonburg but we have visited other local fairs also!  Each year, we look forward to seeing the animals (the chickens are my […]

They have the joy, joy, joy, joy, down in their heart! This family is a gem! The entire Wolfe family serves our community with such joy every year at Every Soul Acres!

This family showed up ready to rock their portrait session! Their outfits, colors, the way they interacted so naturally… it was all a photographer’s dream! Not only were they so easy-going and natural with each other, but they were ready…

Another beautiful sunny Fall evening, another wonderful family to photograph!! I loved watching the Wenigers play together and make each other laugh! They are such a beautiful family, inside and out!
