The Hansons | Farm Warrenton, Virginia Family Photographer

I love this family! I have known April for gosh… I guess since summer of 2007 which seems like forever ago! 🙂 But I’ve watched her grow into the beautiful woman she is today with the cutest little family! This was my first time meeting Carter and even though it was early in the morning, he did so well for this little session together! 🙂 I’m so thankful we were able to squeeze this session into our calendars since Nick’s brother was getting married and they were only in Northern VA for the weekend from Georgia. So worth getting up bright and early!!!

Thanks Hanson family for making this happen! I love you all and looking forward to seeing you again in the near future! xoxo
