Emma | Delaplane, Virginia Senior Portrait Photographer

I met this super sweet girl through my boyfriends family. So blessed with the wonderful connections through Kyle! Turned out that Emma will be graduating soon and needed some senior portraits before the weather turned unbearably cold. Well, we spoke too soon because the time her session came around it was FREEZING outside! I remember eating my lunch outside that same day in what seemed to be 70 degrees. Of course I didn’t think it would be freezing just hours later … Emma was prepared with gloves and sweetly offered for me to use them during the session. THANK GOODNESS I did not decline because it saved me! I remember being in situations where it’s hard enough to press the shutter on my camera. You know how that feels when you are trying to type a simple text on your phone in the freezing cold and you have to yell at yourself to move your fingers faster. Haha! At least you don’t get that cold feeling when looking through the photos. 🙂 Emma was such a trooper and I’m thankful for that!

Thank you Emma for bearing through the FREEZING cold weather!!! Looking forward to seeing you again in the near future. 🙂 Enjoy some of my favorites! xoxo
