The Ramseys | Delaplane, Virginia Fall Family Portrait Photographer

I met this wonderful family on the first real day of this COLD weather! It was a bit unexpected as I remember walking outside earlier that day wanting to eat lunch on my porch … well, that turned into an evening with cold and numb hands. At least this family was so sweet about it and did as much as they could through the 20 something degrees. Their little one kept me cracking up the whole time with his funny personality. Kids really say the earnest things! The entertainment kept us smiling even though we just wanted to bundle up in the warmest coat and stand by a fire … or just get in our warm cars. 😉 Haha! Anyways, I’m so glad that they were able to get together to document these moments together as a family before the Holidays approach AND before it gets even COLDER!

Thank you Ramsey family for bearing through the cold weather and capturing these wonderful moments before the fall leaves disappeared for the winter. 🙂 Enjoy some of my favorites!!!

    […] was just looking through their first family portraits with me and could not help but to admire how just two years makes a difference. The kids have grown […]
