So this big guy had me stumped for a while! He was used to getting his picture taken and give an appropriate “say cheese” smile…..but that’s NOT what I was there to get. I studied him a little, and tried a few things, it was soon obvious that he needed to just move and do stuff! So we got him racing his cousin, playing pranks on his grandpa, and scaring his little sister (not too much) and we got genuine smiles that showed his true self! Later his grandma told me that they had never gotten genuine smiles from him in any pictures, and these were the first! I felt so honored! We went on to do many more session together and I still think of this sweet family often! #makingmemories #cherishedmoments #grandparents #grandkids #familytime #orchard #butterflies #goldensunlight #memories #love #happiness #fredericksburgva #visitva #explorevirginia #virginiabeauty #naturalbeauty #familyphotography #portraitphotography #outdoorphotography #beautifulmoments #sunshineandsmiles #capturethelove #sunnydays #familyfun #togetherness
