Lianne and Erich have been on our blog before.

Soon after they were in front of our cameras as a styled bride and groom, Lianne contacted us for her maternity boudoir session.

We were so honored to be invited back into the intimacy of their beautiful home to welcome Baby Isla to the world with a lifestyle portrait sessionon film.

Not only is this beautiful family simply made for photos, their house is a photographer’s paradise. We were able to shoot 100% film in 100% natural light.

We are just in love with this precious family and are so excited to finally share these scans on our blog!

Rachel and her hubby Nathan are two of the most fortunate people we’ve met,; of them it can truly be said, “their cup runs over.”

They have four beautiful children together.  Four healthy, beautiful children filled with energy and life.

That would be enough, but on top of that, Rachel and Nathan are such an amazing team.

When he’s not working in DC, Nathan is just the type of cool dad + husband every guy should aspire to be.

In addition to being a full-time mom, Rachel also happens to be an fantastically talented photographer, a lawyer, and as of recently, the founder of an amazing studio!!

(Seriously, especially if you’re a photographer, go check Rachel out!)

For their family session in Fredericksburg, Rachel invited her parents to come along. It made it all the more special to have 3 generations in front of the lens. <3

It was important, especially as I (Mike) am a former kindergarten teacher, to keep our session loose, fun, and “lifestyle.”

Basically we just let this awesome family do their thing and we came along for the ride to take pictures!

Some people ask us, “How can you shoot family sessions on film?” Our only answer: “How can we NOT shoot family sessions on film?!”

Rachel and Nathan, your family is just delightful. Thank you for giving us the pleasure of capturing these moments on what turned out to be such a perfect spring day.

Thank you to the staff of Chatham Manor for hosting us!

Melissa contacted us last Fall for a family portrait session in Hampton Roads, Virginia.

It would  require some patient waiting, though.. Carlos wouldn’t be back until Spring.

Like so many in the Hampton Roads area, Melissa, Carlos and little Levi know what it means to be patient.

Carlos is a proud member of the US Navy and was out at sea for almost a year.

It was all the more special, and an even greater honor, when April finally came around and we were able to spend an afternoon  in Windsor Castle Park with this lovely family.

Every moment they have together is treasured; nothing is taken for granted.

It was a blessing to see these three united again after being apart for so long.

Melissa, Carlos, and Levi – thank you so much for allowing us  to have spent a wonderful afternoon with you!
