The Ramsey Family | EC Lawrence Park, Virginia Family Photographer

EC Lawrence Park | Fairfax, VA Photographer

If you have been following my blog, you know this family pretty well. πŸ™‚ I met Beth Ann years ago through a family friend, and I’m so honored they continuously return for my services. I love watching the kids grow, personality-wise and appearance! They are still goofy and spontaneous! Garrett, on the other hand, just left for college and I know they have to be proud of him, and I imagine sad at the same time. I’m glad they have these memories to hold on to while he’s away.

I have been photographing the Ramsey family for years, and every session is a unique experience! We chose to shoot their 2017 portraits at the beautiful EC Lawrence Park, and we were blessed with great weather!! I remember one of their first sessions with me was SO unbearably HOT. We were able to appreciate the sunshine and cool weather this time around. πŸ™‚ We ran around the park finding some pretty backdrops for their portraits, along with their hilarious doggie! He has a mind of his own. πŸ˜‰ You’ll see below there was one point when he grabbed the leash in his mouth and walk himself. Haha! So cute!!

Thank you, Ramsey family, for having me photograph your family once again!!! πŸ™‚ You all are wonderful and SO incredibly sweet!!! Enjoy some of my favorites from our time together!!
