Talk about fall perfection! I first worked with the Elliotts to capture maternity memories for Alyson when she was expecting her youngest, CJ. Since then, I’ve gone back to their lovely home to capture several special milestones for baby CJ. When Alyson reached out for some fall family portraits with their extended family and I was so excited to head back to their gorgeous land out in Powhatan County, Virginia and the lighting did not disappoint!

Extended family portraits are so fun because of the many different groupings for portraits. It’s also a great opportunity for updated photos of each of the family’s little ones.

Even with the different combinations of people, these sessions go by SO fast! I loved this spot just as the sun was setting over the trees.

I love to always take time for updated mom + dad portraits. They’re usually the ones behind their family cameras, so it’s nice to capture updated portraits for them as well!

Do you remember the days visiting your grandparents, pouring over albums upon albums of family photos? Your parents' lives spread out on the pages before you. Photos leading to stories, leading to long-forgotten memories, recalling details from days long ago. 

I do. It was always my favorite pastime visiting my grandma, the family documentarian. Now the task has passed down to me, documenting the days as they go by, keeping the record for my nieces and nephews, for my own children to come. 

Now think of your children, ten, twenty, fifty years from now. What will they have to look back on to remember a time they were too young to recall themselves. 

It would be my honor to be your family's documentarian, too! Forever chronicling your journey together with timeless portraits that your family will enjoy for generations to come. 


A photo is worth a thousand memories
