This past Thanksgiving I wanted to take some time and reflect on all of the blessings in my life. I realized after looking through my fall photos from September till now, I have been so blessed to see and photograph so many couples, families, and children.

Fall Family Sessions: Loudoun Family Photographer
It's that time of year when families are getting dressed up and geared up for the holidays which means family portrait time. This has been a fun fall just full of families.
