One year ago today, I got to hang out with and photograph this gorgeous family!  I was hiding away in Richmond, VA at my sister’s house after losing my job when Alanna saw on facebook that I was in town.  She contacted me and asked if I could meet up with her for a family session before I left.  I was thrilled because it had been too many years since I had seen her & I had never met her beautiful babes, so we scheduled a time and met up at the University of Richmond.

Alanna and Jonathan are such a sweet & gorgeous couple.  They are super fun parents…and did I mention GORGEOUS?! To quote my sister “Oh my gosh. They’re like a model family!” And they are. Chase and Maddie knew exactly what to do and were ‘hamming it up’ for the camera from the get go. They were so great during the entire session and we had a blast chasing the geese around the lake of the University of Richmond.

I can’t wait for another opportunity to hang out with this awesome family since they have added a beautiful new baby girl to the mix…I’m just dying to get back up to Virginia to meet sweet Emmie!

Thank you so much Alanna & Jonathan, I hope I can see y’all again soon!!

After a few great days away, I’m working hard to regain my focus & get back on track this week.  {I’m not gonna lie, Monday is throwing me some curve balls.}

I had a fantastic time on Friday in Daytona spending the day with my awesome friend, Mandy, at her gorgeous shop, A Bridal Boutique For the Girls.  We had a blast catching up and getting some fun shots of her beautiful bridal gowns.  I’m so thankful to Mandy for letting me be a part of a great event.  I can’t wait until the next one!

Here’s a little sneak peek of the fabulous gorgeousness she has going on down there. {More to come soon!}

This dress?? I die.
