Altavista, Va | Patterson Family Session

We absolutely LOVE when our clients ask us to tell their story as it unfolds. This family has been with us almost since day one of our photography - from taking their family pictures to now taking Tabby's senior portraits and getting ready for her to start college, it's amazing to watch them grow physically, but even more amazing to see them grow in their love for the Lord!

#FamilyFriday | Faithfulness and a Man Called the Hammer

How do we know that God will be faithful to His promises, whether to us or to the world? How do we know anyone will honor what they have said they'll do? By their reputation among others. I know God will be faithful to me because of the stories that my parents, grandparents, professors, teachers, and siblings. And I know God will be faithful to His promises to the whole world because of his covenants with Noah, Abraham, and Israel.

#FamilyFriday | The Posture of Prayer

If you grew up in a Christian home, like I did, you can almost definitely be sure that there will be a prayer before every meal. We did it three times a day, every day! I honestly cannot remember a day that we did not pray before we ate. But in recent years, as we studied what God asks of us, we found this command: To thank the Lord AFTER we eat. Wait, what?

Liberty University | Tabatha Patterson, Fall Senior Session

It's crazy to think that a year from now Tabby will be walking the beautiful Liberty University campus as a freshman. I was really excited when her mom suggested that we do her fall session there! It couldn't have been more perfect! Here are some of the highlights. And that random guy that jumped in a few of the shots is her boyfriend, Josh, not some creepy LU freshman looking for a lady. ;)

Liberty University | Jubin Kang, Fall Senior Session

I can't believe it's already time to post the fall session we had with Jubin and Tabby (You can see Tabby's session here). We couldn't have asked for better weather and a more beautiful location - Liberty University. Jubin has applied and is waiting to hear back to see if she will be continuing her education in the lovely state of Virginia at this school. Here are a few highlights! Send Jubin some love!

#FamilyFriday | Patience

Have you ever gone to another country and weren't able to speak the language? Maybe just Spanish class in high school? How frustrating was it that you weren't able to explain your thoughts and desires? ...Especially when it came time to go to the bathroom!?! Yeah, it's hard. That's why Jonathan and I decided that we wanted to teach Hadassah sign language.

Lynch Station, VA | The Dewever Family

Oh my goodness! There is so much cuteness all over the blog tonight! You may recognize this beautiful family (well, most of them) from our session with them a year ago! You can check that out here. There has been a lot of changes since that gorgeous day. Not only have they welcomed in Matt's mom to live in their mother-in-law suite, but they also have added a new little one to the family, baby Cora! ....
