Matt & Candice | Warrenton, Virginia Christmas Portrait Photographer

I love this time of the year!! 🙂 It has been over a year since Matt and Candice got married, but it feels like yesterday since I photographed their beautiful Airlie wedding! Since then, they bought a house and introduced a fur baby into their family. 🙂 So when brainstorming where to do their Christmas portraits, it was appropriate to come out to their lovely home and take photos with their pup! About half way through the session, we ventured to a local Christmas tree lot for another festive backdrop!

When I was editing Matt and Candice’s portraits, I could not help but to laugh when I saw their pictures with their pup, Bobby. He loves to take Matt and Candice for a walk. LOL! They are one adorable family … And I love Bobby’s red bow!! So cute! 🙂 Matt and Candice are doing great things in their lives, and I cannot wait to see what the future holds for them!

Thank you, Matt and Candice (and Jackson), for a fun and festive time last week!! I hope you all have a Merry Christmas and enjoy these sweet memories. 🙂 XOXO!
