Next year we will be celebrating a decade of photographing this family. Every time we do their Christmas photos, I love to go back and see just how much the kiddos are grown. I even get to have the youngest three as my Spanish students. Watching them run around and be themselves was a lot of fun! Enjoy!

Either way, I'm so glad we got a chance to capture our own family photos in this gorgeous foliage. We normally have a beach session, but this year we decided to mix it up! Enjoy! Vie...

The most amazing things happened at this photo shoot! As we were driving up the Blue Ridge Parkway, it was raining.

However, as soon as we were finishing up the session, the rain started pouring again. The timing was just perfe...
