Rick & Alex | Warrenton, Virginia Farm Portrait Photographer

It feels like I have known Alex forever! I was first introduced to her back when my friends, Nick and Michelle, got married yearssssss ago. Alex was actually their wedding photographer!!! Because of the photography industry, we have kept in touch over the years and consider ourselves coworkers. 😉 She’s a fabulous Beauty and Boudoir Photographer based in Stafford, Virginia <- Of course you need to check out her amazing work! Over the years, I’ve admired her travels as she has been to Europe, South America and Iceland (just to name a few!)! Alex, you need to consider selling your travel photos!!! 😉 Seriously! I’m happy that she’s now settling down with her love, Rick, and their new fur baby, Geronimo! They are one sweet and adorable family!

When we were in the search for the “perfect backdrop”, Alex requested COWS. What I didn’t know until the day of the session was her “cow whisperer” talent! While Rick and Alex were walking around, the calfs were following them everywhere! It was adorable!!! To say the least, the calfs enjoyed their company and I’m glad they were so welcoming to the cow lover guests! Speaking of animal lovers, Rick and Alex saved this nine year old pup from going to an animal shelter. How sweet! Geronimo was so sweet and very photogenic in these photos! 🙂

Thanks Alex, Rick and Geromino for coming out to my parent’s farm to play around with the cows! Haha! Enjoy some of my favorites!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALEX!!!!!!!
