The Lucas’ | Northern Virginia Family Farm Photographer

Meet the Lucas family! They are as sweet as can be and my goodness, such a gorgeous family! Quince, the oldest, is so adorable as he is SO well behaved and says the most precious things. Little Jack is a very cute baby and loves his apples and pretzels! Haha! We found that made him feel better through the cold session. Saying it was a cold session is an understatement … it was FREEZING. But to say the least, we had a fun time running around the farm with Addie and Rob’s wonderful mothers! Addie’s mother came all the way from Maine to visit and I am so glad she and Rob’s mother could be apart of this session to capture memories with their two grandsons!

Thank you Robin and Addie for a wonderful session with you and your family! Always as sweet as can be! šŸ™‚ Enjoy the preview of the session! xoxo
