The Martins {Family Session} | Culpeper Photographer

A couple weeks ago I met the Martin’s for a photo shoot. First let me say that I was extremely happy that it was not 110 degrees outside. That was the temp for our previous appointment so we decided to hold off a week. And I’m happy to say, it was only in the low 90′s!  Did I just say that? Yes, Yes I did!  Anyway, our main goal? Birthday Pictures! For who (er…whom)? Well, Andrew, he just turned 2 and big brother and sister, twins, Lucy & Nathan had recently turned 10. They were all super excited and ready to go when I got there! I LOVE IT!  Take a look at our awesome evening and feel free to leave me a comment! I always LOVE reading them….Thank You Cheryl for choosing me to shoot your kiddo’s Birthday pics, see ya soon chica!

i heart faces {pets} photo challenge

I love the I Heart Faces community. There are so many great, helpful people on there. I’ve never entered one of their challenges before but this week the subject is “Pets”.  And, as most of you know, there is one pet that means an awful lot to me. He’ll be 14 years old this year, on July 19. He’s about 100 lbs and he follows me around the house, ALL DAY. Lately he’s scared me a couple times. Falling outside in the heat, shaking, not able to get up, but he always recovers and is back to himself within a couple days. His nickname is Thumper but his real name is Dylan. Dylan Dog. Dylan Hoover Burgess. OK, so he actually has a lot of nicknames. Anyway, he is my entry is this weeks i heart faces photo challenge.

Thumper is beautiful! His brown eyes are gorgeous! We lost our dog, Gabby, after 14 years. After we made the decision, I felt like we had waited too long. I wish you the best in such a difficult time in Dylan’s life.
