Pastor Josh + Family | Warrenton, Virginia Portrait Photographer

Warrenton, VA is a small town — Especially growing up in the area. When I met Josh and Brittney, it felt as though we were able to bounce connections back and forth which is always fun! It turned out Josh is also a fellow Duke (#godukes!), but besides that exciting discovery, I LOVED getting to know these two and their kids during our short time together!!! Josh and Brittney met in high school and were the typical football/cheerleader power couple, even though they didn’t start dating until after high school! Since then, they got married and have four beautiful, as sweet as can be children!!! Not to mention super stylish!!! Even though our time together was short, I was impressed by bribing kids with ice cream worked like a charm. 😉 HAHA! I’m hoping there will be more sunny days like we were blessed with last week and lots of ice cream. If you are local and want to try out a new church, Pastor Josh is leading at the Life Church in Warrenton!
