Kirkpatrick Family Session | Charlottesville, Virginia
To say we are honored that families would allow us to pause their lives in photos is an understatement. From maternity photos, to sweet Owen’s newborn session, to Spring family photos, Susanne and Ryan have been so easy and fun to capture on the other side of the lens. Even though it’s wedding season, we still love meeting families during the week to capture gems like these. I mean I could gush about how much I love them, but I think it’s pretty evident.

Admittedly, I haven’t always loved photographing family sessions. My jam has been couples, their love story, the journey through their engagement, and the wedding celebration to kick-off their marriage. This year, though, we’ve had the honor of capturing incredible moments with families who have trusted us and I’ve grown to love photographing families. We’ve slowed down with film to try to capture their moments and the emotion they share. To help pause their life - stamping time with a photo so that moment stays forever.

Another incentive to shoot family moments was the appearance of a glorious little squish named Linus. He doubles as the cutest nephew in the world and doesn't mind giving out smiles for the camera. And since we’re firm believers that pets are family too, George was a non-negotiable - he brought his A-game.
We caught the last breath of Fall at Carter Mountain Orchard in Charlottesville to fulfill Kathryn’s vision of having family photos at an apple orchard and then we headed back towards Lynchburg to finish the session. I'm so incredibly happy with how these turned out and I'm not ashamed to say that a 9-month-old stole my heart.

This little baby face easily makes it to the top of my list. Not only because he’s got the cutest expressions, but he’s also my nephew. Aside from being related and having impeccable style, his parents are two of my dearest friends and I love that I can take an evening off to snuggle with this guy in his modern nursery fit for a West Elm catalogue.

Linus has been a bright spot in everyone’s lives since he’s arrived and the only dog that’s still getting used to him is his big brother George.
Check out some of our favorite moments from his nursery being finished and his newborn session! We love you little Linus!
