The Richs | Downtown Warrenton, Virginia Family Photographer

I have known this family …. well, it seems like as long as I can remember! But of course, time flies and Kateland connected with me regarding a family session as a present to her parents. They recently celebrated their 27th Anniversary and what better way that to celebrate with your loved ones?

When I pulled up to the farm, they immediately told me that I was going to have a timeeeeee with them! Lol! Meaning that it might be a challenge. Honestly, it was not a challenge at all! They were carrying smiles everywhere we went and cracked up on some jokes to keep the spirits high … it was a great time! Not to mention that Mr. and Mrs. Rich’s son and future daughter-in-law, Zach and Katie, are my 2014 wedding clients! So I felt right at home with them.

Thank you all for a great time! You ended my season on a high note as you were my last official session for the year! Wohoo! 🙂 Enjoy the preview! xoxo
