Tiffany and I went to high school together, and I'm delighted to report that she is now a repeat customer! I got to photograph her little boy and the rest of their family earlier this month.

Tiffany's husband and stepchildren joined us for the second half the shoot, and we were able to get some nice family shots in. I LOVED photographing these two teenagers! They were so much fun to work with and seemed to enjoy having their picture made.

Everyone loves M&Ms!

Tiffany, thank you for sharing your family with me again! I hope you love the photos!

There isn't much more flattering for a photographer than getting to have a repeat customer. I did some family portraits for Summer and Michael and their boys last June, and last month, Summer asked me to come back and do a few more for fall. We had a hard time getting the weather to cooperate, but we finally got to do the shoot last weekend, and I really love the results.

We shot most of these pictures at an old red barn off of the Gate City Highway in Bristol. (Don't worry - I got permission first!) But first, we met at Valley Institute and got a few pictures of the boys before they could get dirty!

Aren't they precious? And yes, their eyes really ARE that blue. Onto the barn! The next shows the whole family, including Aunt Sarah, who came along and was a huge help with the boys (and with my reflector! Thanks, Sarah!).

I was really excited to find a barn that was not only RED, but that also had tobacco hanging! You can't find a barn like that anywhere in the country... it's very Virginian.

I loooove this shot of Summer with her boys.

Summer and Michael, thanks for letting me photograph your beautiful family again!

Jenny and I have worked together at music camp for many years now, along with her husband, Brian. Jenny and Brian's three boys have been regulars at this camp forever, so I've gotten to see them grow up over the years, and I was really happy when Jenny asked me to do some fall photos for their family. We shot at the Virginia Tech duck pond and also at the Huckleberry trail. The boys were excellent models, as were their parents!
