Happy Birthday Mrs. French {Woodstock, Virginia Photographer}

I was honored when I was asked to photograph Mrs. French's 80th birthday.  I spent the evening listening to the many wonderful stories her family had to share.  All NINE of her children told some of their favorite memories of their mother from over the years.  Other family members spoke and shared.  Some common memories were singing, cooking, sewing, and even driving.  My favorite memory of Mrs. French is her laugh.  In my 30 years of life, I know that every single time I have seen her, she has had a smile on her face that ultimately ends in a roar of laughter.

Thank you, French's for allowing me to be a part of such a wonderful evening!!!

Coming Soon..........Baby GIRL!!! {Harrisonburg, Virginia Maternity Photographer}

It is always so fun meeting new clients!  It's extra special when I get the chance to photograph a maternity session KNOWING that I will get to meet and photograph the baby once it arrives!

"S" and "C" met me this evening for their maternity session and we had a ball.  They are one of the most adorable couples I have ever worked with.  I just know they are going to be fantastic parents.

This momma-to-be could not possibly be any more beautiful.  She is GLOWING!  I felt so bad asking her to lay on the ground to pose but I think it was worth it! ;)

Thank you guys for choosing ANP to capture this joyous time in your lives!  I CANNOT wait to meet your sweet baby girl in July!!!

The "S" Family {Shenandoah County, Virginia Family Photographer}

I love working with this family!  Little "O" has so much personality, baby "B" is extremely happy and mom and dad are so fun to photograph. 

Thanks again, H&J!  Can't wait for your next session!!!

Beautiful Baby "Q" {Woodstock, Virginia Newborn Photographer}

This session was way too easy.  Mom knew exactly what she wanted and brought a very sleepy baby to the studio this morning!  I could not have asked for a more cooperative child.  Talk about a happy girl.  "Q" was all smiles right up to the time she zonked out. 

Her daddy requested that we not use any headbands for her session, but you know me, I couldn't resist just one shot with her adorable accessory!  Sorry dad.

Congrats G Family.  She could not be more perfect!

Baby "A", 7 Months {Manassas, Virginia Family Photographer}

When we pulled up to this morning's session it was chilly and windy.  I was not excited about the weather conditions but by the time we were out and ready to start shooting it warmed up and was beautiful!

Little "A" was such a great sport.  She was so sleepy but hung in there just enough to get some great shots.  Isn't she beautiful?! 

I was even lucky enough to snag a cute shot of their pup, Riley with her little sister. 

Thanks B Family for making the trip today, it was so nice to see you!
