The Ours Family

Ours Family | Strasburg, Virginia Farm Portrait Photographer

It doesn’t seem that long ago when the Ours family and I met for maternity photos. Now they have an adorable little one welcomed into the family. <3 I was excited to have the chance to photograph this sweet family again, but this time on Wes’s family-owned farm! Many memories have taken place here with relatives as well as their own engagement portraits! Even the history of this property is fascinating! Not to mention, they say the barn is haunted … I really didn’t want to get too close to it scared that someone would pop out. Haha! Besides the scary barn, it was an obvious choice for their portrait location … I mean, who doesn’t love mountains and the Shenandoah River?! I just want to pick up my stuff and move out there! 😉 We all ran around the property and I guess we were boring Silas to the point where he was asleep! Haha! There is a photo of Silas yawning that I had to post because it is so cute, but I yawn every time looking it! <= I’m pretty sure Myth Busters did a test on this and it truly is contagious … I seriously cannot stop yawning now that I’m writing about it and I’m not even tired! Hahah!

Thank you Ours family for another fun time running around the farm! 🙂 I not only enjoy our conversations but the fun memories we are creating throughout our time together. Enjoy looking through some of my favorites!!! xoxo!
