Gailey | Lifestyle

This has been one of the hardest things, I've ever had to do!!! I had to keep these photos under lock and key since early November!!! Since, Gailey wanted to keep her photo shoot a complete secret from her family and her boyfriend, I had to keep these beauties hidden. After the shoot was over, I promised her I wouldn't post these photos til after Christmas. Well, that glorious moment has past and now I'm allowed to post some photos of one of my favorite people (and her furry friend)!!!

The location is actually in a field in front of my sisters house and I don't think it could have been more perfect! It was a clear, cool fall day and I don't think we could have asked for anything more! I gotta give some props to my mom for letting borrow a few things for our shoot! The quilt also holds a special place in my heart, it's an old quilt that my great grandmother had made a long time ago! I gotta say it photographs well! Might be my favorite prop!

Well, without further adieu here is Miss Gailey and Mr. Duke Dog!

You are gorgeous Gailey!

The Mills' Family | Lifestyle

There are certain people in your life that you will cherish their friendship for forever. This family is one of them. I met this loving family when I was hired as head coach of a brand new summer league swim team. In the two summers that I coached the team my friendship with the Mills' grew into something great. Now even though I don't live in Virginia anymore we still make it a point to keep in touch. Jamie and I are so very thankful for their friendship and when Chris asked me to do a photo shoot with them for their family Christmas card I was honored! Here are a few of my favorite photos from their shoot. I hope you enjoy!

They are truly a beautiful family inside and out!





Miss Parker!








Sam!!! Best dog EVER!!!!!

The Kapataidakis' | Lifestyle

Or you can just call them The Kapa's or if you live in The Faires household you call them The Dapa's.

When their mom contacted me about taking some photos of Connor and Caden for their Christmas card I knew the photo shoot was going to be a lot of fun! These two boys have so much energy even for a photo shoot that started on a cold fall morning!! I met the Kapa family at the fire station where their dad works and then from there we went to Ashland, Va to watch some trains! Here are a few from their shoot and hopefully you're one of the lucky ones that receive these two cute little boys in your mailbox this holiday season!

Love this one...
















Love these two images!
