Mark, Becky, and Stuart // Newport News Family Photographer

When I first started talking to Becky about their family portraits, she was all about having beautiful LEAVES in their pictures! Mark and Becky came from San Diego, where I hear the temperature is the same 75 degrees year-round, so she wanted to show off some of the beautiful fall colors here in Virginia. And I think we accomplished that goal!

Stuart is special to me, because he is almost exactly the same age as my niece. He's in a very fun stage, and just loves his mom and dad. He couldn't have looked more adorable in his little plaid shirt, and we spent the day roaming the Noland Trail while he discovered some new and exciting places to explore.

Mark and Becky, thanks for letting me tag along during your family time! And thanks for picking out some of the best outfits I've seen this year :) You three make such a wonderful family, and I can only hope that the pictures you now have reflect the joy that is there whenever you are all together.

The Bulles Family // Windsor Castle Park Family Photographer

I've had the privilege of knowing the Bulles family for several years now, so when Kim asked if I had some availability to spend some time with their family, I absolutely jumped at the opportunity! Their oldest, Josh, came in town for the weekend, and Jeremy was going to be home as well, so it was the perfect opportunity for family portraits.

We spent the morning walking around the beautiful Windsor Castle Park in Smithfield. Kim's laugh is contagious, and it kept me smiling the entire time. Tim and her just know how to have FUN with their family - between the talking, the joking, and the awkward moments of a random unintentional photo bomber who was on a jog, the morning flew by, and so many special moments were captured.

Tim and Kim - thanks so much for letting me be a part of your family for a day! I truly had fun and enjoyed getting to know you better, and just seeing how much you two still love each other after many years! Josh - thanks for staying up way late the night before and driving all the way here for a family session. Jeremy - thanks for poking fun at your family members so their smiles and laughs were real! I am so thankful to know each one of you better after our session.
