The Spangler family is one of the family who has been a faithful client since I first started this photography adventure. I'll never forget when I was literally "just learning" and I met this then family of three for a fall photo session at a local elementary school? Why did we choose the school? Because the fall color that year was beautiful and there were lots of trees for a background. I never would have imagined that seven years later they are still coming to me for their family portrait sessions. 

This is one of the greatest honors I have as a photographer. I love getting to meet new clients and capture special memories for them. But, I am so fortunate that there have been so many families who have trusted me, committed to working with me, and let me be a tiny part of their lives. 

This year we met at Brown's Island in Downtown RVA. I love this location because it is so diverse and offers such a contrast to the rural locations I offer in Louisa. It's a great place for a photo session, but even more great for an adventurous family who want to see the James River or just relax for the day. 

I think this family session turned out awesome. Mom loves the photos of her baby girl being goofy and I just know that many years from now these will be very special memories that they cherish.
