I don’t get to do as many family session as I would like with my busy wedding schedule but this one family I will always make time for. We did this session at the beautiful Athena Farm & Vineyard in Beckley West Virginia. The weather was perfect, it was nice and sunny but the sun wasn’t so harsh it was over-barring. The “Tuppers” as I call them, are always wonderful to work with and little Miss Caroline is my favorite. She is sweet with a touch of sass. As you can see in the photo she just owned the session.

When I do family photos I like to suggest that the parents always get some photos of just the two of them. So often in the hustle and bustle of life we, unintentionally put ourselves to the side. I don’t want any of my clients to review the images I wish the had got some images with their partner. I am so glad that Kala and John agreed because the couple portion of their family session turned out amazing. I can’t wait to see this images in print because they will be spectacular!

I hope you enjoy<3
