I can’t believe it’s been three years since I last photographed these pretty ladies!  It’s crazy how much Emma and Lacey have grown since then – last time they were in front of my camera, they were both still little girls; but now, they’re into the years where they’re starting to look and act less like little girls and more like young women.  I loved getting to catch up with Melissa and her girls during our session, and you can believe me when I say there was never a dull moment with these three!  The girls’ personalities are such a great compliment to each other – Emma brings the sass, while Lacey brings the sweetness, and Melissa just embraces the entertainment value of it all!  Haha!

We photographed their last session at the Manassas Battlefield with its wide open fields, so this year Melissa went with a different kind of backdrop and we met at the Airlie Center just outside of Warrenton.  Y’all – what a gorgeous session location!!!  Between the grand Spanish staircase off one side of the main house, and the formal gardens off of the other side, I was in photog heaven!  I am so excited to share my faves with you from this fun family session!

Can’t you see the sweet and the sassy coming out in this next image?!  hahaha!

LOVE these next two images!!

Love this next photo of Melissa!

And this is what I mean when I say there was never a dull moment … and Melissa just embraces it!  Hahaha!

Melissa, thank you for spending the evening with me and for allowing me to capture you and your girls together again!!!
