Although I’ve lived in Nashville, TN for almost 5 years now (say whaaat) I love any excuse I can find to get back to my home state. When Courtney contacted me about a fall family photo session at her beautiful farm in Blue Ridge, Virginia, I made it happen!
I’ve known Courtney and her family for years. She and I used to cheer together in high school, and her husband and I even went to elementary school together. Small town life, am I right?! She wanted a family photo session at their beautiful farm just outside of Roanoke, and I couldn’t wait to see their property!
When I arrived, I was greeted with their fleet of dogs and the cutest toddling one year old, Cam. Courtney and Casey, and her 3 other sisters and parents soon converged and we had the BEST time together! This family is so loving and just a joy to be around. The kiddos love the baby shark song (do-do-do-do-do-do) so we played that on repeat for a good part.
They could’ve chosen anyone else to capture their family, and am so honored to be the one they asked. Seriously, it makes me so happy.
