Emerson: 6 Months – Manassas Battlefield Family Portraits

“As you read my stories of long ago I hope you will remember that things truly worthwhile and that will give you happiness are the same now as they were then. It is not the things you have that make you happy. It is love and kindness and helping each other and just plain being good.”
― Laura Ingalls WilderThis was my 11th (eleventh! holy cow!) time having Scooter and Ashley and their family in front of my camera since 2009, and by now you all adore this family as much as I do :) those families who allow me to be their “photographer for life” hold such a special place in my heart. The last time I saw them was for Miss Emerson’s newborn portraits, and good gracious both she and Parker have changed so much just in 6 months!a flower for baby sister:gah doesn’t she have the sweetest smile?!my favorite favorite :) teaching Parker and Emerson how to make a wish :) melt. my.
