The one year session of a baby plan is always bittersweet. After all, I've spent the last year+ photographing a family every few months and then they "graduate" and I typically see them once or twice a year... until baby #2 comes along that is ;) Lynden's sessions were always fun and her mama is super stylish so they were always a joy to photograph. Here are a few of my favorite pictures from our time together:
Years from now when their kids ask about their wedding they also will be able to also tell the story of their engagement session and how it took place IN their very own yard. I always ask if couples have a specific place in mind that is important to them or if there is a specific hobby that they want to include, because your engagements should be a representation of who you are as a couple. When I met Taylor + Rachel they had just bought a house and wanted to incorporate it in their session.
Mature trees, cute porches, and lots of little nooks around the house it was the perfect place for their engagement session. Some have no idea but still offer suggestions like, "lots of trees, or a water view, or the cityscape and old buildings" I mainly and exclusively have shot in and around the Richmond area for my almost 10 years as a photographer so if you have an idea I can certainly work with creating the perfect spot for you.
When Rachel called about booking me for her wedding we hadn't even met in person! It's always an honor to be able to connect with someone over the phone and with them looking at your portfolio them being confident that YOU are the person they want to book for one of the biggest days in their life.
Here are some of my favorite images from their session:
