The Bickel Family \\ The Center of the Universe Town \\ Ashland Family Photographer

That's right friends and fans I got to spend a great hour with the cutest little family, The Bickels!!!! The Bickels are a local small town family like myself that has the most beautiful little girl named Brooklyn or Ms. B as daddy liked to call her. Like any toddler in training with teeth coming in, ms. b gave us a run for our money but that didn't stop her from stealing all the spotlight with that beautiful smile when it came out. Here are a few of my favorites from our time together not to say that it was easy to get down to just 13 images but it was a start...

During our session together Chris told me of his dad that works as a photographer for the Richmond Times Dispatch and in 100% a nikon guy as I am a nikon girl. Then Brooklyn and I were playing with my camera as I let all the kiddos play with and well look at the great photo she captured of mom & dad...

Grandpa has been teaching her some tricks of the trade I see. :)

The Thomas Family \\ Hanover Family Photographer

Good Morning Fans! I hope everyone else is having a better start to their Monday than I am, this weather non stop rain and darkness is really just making me so tired! But not to worry I did get out of bed this morning and and now writing away. Can't promise I will get out of my PJs hehe.

A few months back I had the chance to work with Addison, Sara, and Travis again. This was our first full family session together since Addison's birth in January of 2013. I am lucky to be such a close party of the Thomas family and getting to watch the sweet Addison grow up and one day marry my little Julian... Yes I am one of those silly moms that thinks she can pick her son's future wife. :)

For this session we choice the beautiful backdrop of Maymont Park in Richmond, Virginia. After having to reschedule our session together 2 times do to an over rainy season We were super happy to finally get the chance to walk, talk, and catch up on a beautifully warm afternoon. Here are some of our fun times together, Enjoy!

I love them and can't wait to get that phone call that Sara is pregnant with Baby #2! Good luck to both Sarah and Travis over the next few months.
