Harry Potter + Superman + Paintball = Yvonne & Matt’s Engagement Session

I LOVE it when couples suggest a location for their engagement session! And when Yvonne and Matt suggested the Reston Used Book Store at Lake Anne Plaza I couldn’t have been more excited! Although I grew up just around the corner and would go with my Mom whenever possible to exchange books, I hadn’t been there in probably 15 years. What a delight to find that it was just as I remembered!:) Scroll down for more:

After reading a little Harry Potter & Superman we went for a little ride to the countryside (hey, I rhymed) LoL – btw, Did you guys buy those books or just read & run? Ha Ha

Wonder what they’re up to…

Uh oh…Not sure what they’re thinking but looks like a job for Superman…

One of my FAVORITE engagement sessions EVER! I seriously cannot WAIT until their wedding in May!

The McCartney’s {Family Session} | Culpeper, VA Photographer

I had such a fun evening with these cuties Layton & Grayson (two of my favorite baby names yet, btw). We picked some corn (shhhhh…. it was old and pretty icky anyway) and talked about making popcorn with it! LoL  The evening was beautiful, well except for when the sun dropped and it all of a sudden became freezing cold. Didn’t matter though, we got some great pics of the whole family and had a great time! Love the one of Melissa (Mom) sticking her tongue out at Dad. LoL Too Cute!

What an adorable family!

Evelyn, Katie & Trevor & Lisa {Family Session} | Culpeper, VA Photographer

When I drive I don’t just look at whats in front of me, I look at whats around me.  The mountains, the trees, the barns, deer running out in front of my car. I take pics with my iPhone as I go past at 55mph while also yelling at my kids to stop arguing with each other… Multi-tasking at it’s best! …err…uhh…and a little ADD. I’ve past this one particular barn many times and it’s probably on my iPhone somewhere but I’d have to go through over 1,000 pics to find it…LoL (Side Note; upload cellphone pics to Mac) Anyway, a couple weeks ago I get a call from Lisa to do a family/granddaughter 1st birthday shoot at her home. When she told me where she lived, I was so excited I just about jumped out of my chair!

And what a great family as well…  Evelyn was a doll. Absolutely Perfect! (and she reminded me of my niece who I don’t get to see very often)  Katie & Trevor were so friendly and welcoming and I literally could have sat down and talked Flea Markets with Lisa for hours… She totally gets the appeal of turning something old into something new and beautiful. Love it!

Kara, Jason & Jaeden {Family Session} | Warrenton, Virginia Photographer

It had been a year since I had seen Kara, Jason & Jaeden. Kara is an old friend of my brothers and we all grew up in the same neighborhood. Fox Mill Estates in Herndon, Va DOH! Actually, it’s Oak Hill, Va now. la-dee-da We went to the same school! Woohoo Oakton Cougars! We swam at the same pool. Go Pinecrest Piranha’s! and we probably shopped (er, I mean tagged along with our Mom’s) at the same grocery store, Fox Mill Giant. Kara, do you remember Sam the cashier? I always thought he looked like Issac Washington from the Love Boat…LoL Anyway, we may not have known each other when we were little but we have the same roots, therefore she was an instant friend when I met her this time last year to do Jaeden’s pictures! It was great seeing them again….

April & Roger {engaged} | Culpeper Virginia Wedding Photographer

April, Roger are such a sweet couple. We met at a local park and went on quite a little hike. But it was well worth it. We came across some beautiful views, a few sheds built around 1830, an old stone house built in 1770 (amazing that it was still standing, I don’t think my house will last 20 years). We passed some people riding horses and even a guy in full camo bow hunting on state property…Ummm, yeah, that was a little unsettling… But we got some great photos. Cannot wait for their wedding in May!
