Rich, Jenn & Family | Warrenton, Virginia Family Portrait Photographer

I absolutely adore this family! I have known them since … well, basically forever as we were once next door neighbors. 🙂 So thankful we have kept in contact over the years because I love seeing this family grow! Jenn excitingly told me that she wanted to schedule a spring/summer family session and of course I was thrilled to not only take their photos, capture this current time of their lives but to also reconnect with them. It was my first time meeting their cutie pie, Kinsley! All of their girls have great personalities and I love how that translates in these photos! 🙂 Still looks like Rich is out numbered. 😉 Haha! On the way out to the session last week, it dawned on me that they were some of my very first ever clients! So thankful for their encouragement from the beginnings of my business. <3

Thank you Rich, Jenn and your lovely family for a great time at the gorgeous Sky Meadows Park last week! You all looked incredible and I am looking forward to see where the future takes you all over the years to come. <3 Enjoy some of my favorites!!!
