The Gilberts | Sky Meadows Park, Delaplane, Virginia Family Photographer

Meet the Gilbert Family! Goodness, such a stunning family all around! There were the darling and sweet parents who were given the gift of this session by their three lovely daughters and their two son-in-laws. And this session could not have come at a better time … well, minus the wind … they have a lot going on and a lot of changes are about to happen! An addition to the family coming in the near future, moving, etc. So wonderful to have these photos to cherish forever and remember the excitement of life plans during this time of the session. 🙂 They all have a bright future ahead of them!

This session has to be the windiest session I have ever photographed and I am so glad they were all troopers! Of course though with the wind, we had to wait for the gusts to die down before I snapped the photo. It is a challenge to deal with a windy session when the hair decides to follow with the gust, but we made it work! Fortunately, you can barely tell. 🙂

Thank you all for a great session at Sky Meadows Park! Was a lovely family you have and it was a pleasure getting the time to chat with each one of you!!! Enjoy the preview of your session! xoxo
