Brianna & Matt | Warrenton, Virginia Christmas Maternity Photographer

You never know how your story could impact others unless you’re willing to share your story. 🙂 This session was a very special one to Matt and Briana and definitely a reason worth celebrating! They had a very trying year after they had a little angel join the Heavens early 2019, but little did they know that God was going to gift them a little girl shortly after! I would imagine that these past eight months weren’t certain after experience devastation not that long ago, but when they stepped foot in front of my camera, I saw the faith and hope they held onto this year! Now, they are preparing to meet their newest little angel, Everly, next month. <3 I don’t think there could be a more special gift this Christmas than the gift of life! 🙂

I couldn’t believe it when I saw their sweet little Grayson step out of the car. It didn’t seem like that long ago when I last photographed him! But the way kids grow so quickly really shows that time had indeed passed. He’s growing up to be such a handsome little guy with those baby blue eyes and super blonde hair. 🙂 I’m excited to see how he takes on the role of an older brother next month when he meets his sister. It’s going to be fun for Matt and Brianna to see their relationship blossom over the months/years ahead. 🙂 In the meantime, I hope they cherish this time together as they reflect on the 2019 year. 2020 is going to be the best year yet and I cannot wait to see those Facebook posts announcing that baby Everly made her big debut!!! 🙂

Thank you, Brianna and Matt, for having me photograph this very special time for you all!!! I couldn’t imagine a sweet Christmas gift this year. <3 Merry Christmas to you all and CONGRATS!!!!
