Virginia Family Photographer
Capturing memories for families is such an incredible honor. I have been luckily enough to photograph multiple families this autumn and each one was such a unique blend of their own silliness, laughter, and appreciation. My goal during these sessions is to capture their essence as a family, whether across many photos or if I’m lucky, I grab it all in one magical photo. Only they will know which one that is.
If you’re in the market for having a lasting reminder of your family’s smiles, play time, and teasing, contact me and we’ll set up a shoot of your very own!
Now onto our photos! Today I’m excited to share pics from two dynamic family photo sessions. First up is my friend and former neighbor, E.B. and her adorable son, Patrick. We all used to live in the same building and I remember seeing Patrick and his hilarious mother in the elevator and around the neighborhood when Patrick was just a tiny baby. And now I had the honor of photographing him just before his fifth birthday. I hope I’ve given Patrick and his mom some photos the two of them can look back on and remember what a fun time they had together playing, exploring their favorite spots in the neighborhood, and running around to stay warm in the mid-October morning chill.
Next up is the Lakhani family. The Lakhanis were one of the families scheduled for a mini-session on my now infamous marathon day of mini-sessions… which was cancelled due to rain! haha The Lakhanis had the brilliant idea and forethought to reschedule for the following morning instead of risking getting caught in the rain with their two little ones. Smart! We met bright and early on Sunday morning in Crystal City at Long Bridge Park and captured some photos for the family to use on their holiday cards. Their little girls were adorable and spunky & so fun to work with. So without further ado, The Lakhani Family, coming to a holiday card near you! haha
