The Ridgways

Ridgway Family | Manassas Battlefield, Virginia Children Photographer

Kids always seem to put a smile on my face. Maybe it’s just because they say the darnest things and always look so innocent even when they aren’t necessarily behaving! I met this lovely family last week at the Battlefields where the kids had a blast running around the property. They were the stars of the show for the session and they came dressed in their best attire. 🙂 Absolutely adorable!!! Mixed with their spontaneous personalities, it made for a great time! Not to mention, they are just so darn cute … Wouldn’t you agree?!

Thank you Ridgway family for a great time together!!! Merry Christmas and enjoy some of my favorites from our time together! xoxo!
