Ian & Jessica | Warrenton, Virginia Family Portrait Photographer

Ohhhh how I love this little family! I hosted a workshop on Saturday for those who were looking to become more technical with their camera. The afternoon was GORGEOUS and then it became SUPER cold and cloudy by the time the workshop ended. Following my workshop, we decided to stick it out and continue forward with these photos and I am so glad we did! My heart exploded several times by seeing how cute their little girl, Rowan, was in front of the camera! Seriously … you will understand when you look through these photos! I look forward to watching and documenting this family as they continue to grow over the years ahead! 🙂

Thank you Ian and Jessica for a fun time together! I love you so much and cannot wait to share all of the photos with you!!! For the meantime, enjoy some of my favorites! xoxo

Look at this precious little girl!

    OH my gracious, These pictures are stunning. Clear, capturing the wide eyed beauty and joy of ROWAN She is so precious. The entire family together sharing these fleeting moments are now forever captured brilliantly by a marvelous photographer, our own Stephanie Messick. I love them all, bravo !!!!!!!!!!
