The Emmart Family | Airlie Gardens, Warrenton, Virginia

I’ve photographed the lovely Emmart family over the years, but it all started when Morgan and Cam married in the Airlie gardens in Warrenton, Virginia, in 2017. šŸ™‚ Since then, they have had two ADORABLE children. It was fun taking photos with the kids, especially of their spunky little girl! She was not afraid of the camera, and I loved capturing her personality in these photos! But really, both kids had the sweetest smiles and were so well-behaved!

We met on a BEAUTIFUL day at Airlie ā€” After discussing location possibilities for their portraits, Airlie was obvious because this was where they got married. šŸ™‚ The property has SO much to offer for photos, making every session fun and different! But we wanted to hit some favorite spots from their wedding day. 

I have several favorite memories from our time together, but one fond memory was when I asked their daughter what her favorite dancing song was ā€” Semi-Charmed Life <= You know they are raising her right listening to classic rock! šŸ™‚ Naturally, a little dance party happened in front of my camera. HA! My photographer’s heart bursts to document cherishing memories like that! And of course, her love for her baby brother … My heart melted. Check out our time running around the Airlie gardens Warrenton Virginia!
