Family

Who knew that a corner of a cow field could be so glorious! The Houff family farm boasts the most extraordinary views of the Shenandoah Valley but they pale in comparison to the bright smiles on these kids’ faces! You’ll be hard pressed to find another family that is so cheerful! What a joy to make portraits for them and tour this beautiful farm…

What a year! I have had the honor of documenting the Domingus family, and little Ezra in particular, over the last year… from a few weeks after he was born, at 6 months, and now that he’s a year old. What a joy to watch this family rally around their youngest, to cuddle and laugh and smile together, and to cheer each other on. God’s grace is…

God is SO good in creating families; in allowing us to parent children and watch them grow and change into young adults, with their own interests and ideas and beauty. Praise God from whom all blessings flow!

So many changes happen in the first year of a baby’s life! Im so thankful that this sweet family decided to document this beautiful stage with a portrait session! Im hear to tell you that as much as we think we might remember all the little details of our babies, most of the time we wont. Their squishy little arms and fingers…

This session was a celebration of new life and the day-to-day evidence of love and joy within a family. What a joy it is as a photographer to watch my client’s little ones change and to see their families grow!! Thank you for letting me capture these precious moments!

When the world all around you is going crazy, sometimes the best thing you can do is get a puppy!! I was so happy to capture this ball of fluff and the amazing Eller kiddos! Do yourself a favor and go get a puppy!

Getting to witness the miraculous ways that babies and children grow and change is absolutely one of my favorite aspects of newborn and family photography! Little Ezra went from being a tiny sleeping newborn back in July to a happy, chubby baby in just 8 months! It’s truly amazing!

Another Christmas season has come and gone and yet again, it was made brighter because of this family! The Wolfe family serves the Shenandoah Valley community through Every Soul Acres Tree Farm with smiles on their faces! They treat every single customer who comes to their farm like family and I am blessed to know them…

What a delight to photograph this precious family again this year! I love seeing how the kids have grown and matured over the years and getting to see how their personalities have developed! Enjoy!
