fun on the farm!

Recently I photographed these two beautiful, sweet families at an amazing farm. We stayed busy swinging, running, feeding the chickens, cuddling the bunnies and climbing trees! Another shoot that I left feeling so tired, but so satisfied and thankful that I get to do what I do! Because there are so many, they are not in any order–just randomly placed. Enjoy a little glimpse of our time together.

To these two wonderful families: Thank you for inspring me and allowing me to capture your beauty and love! xo andrea

He is precious! It didn’t take long for me to fall in love with this little guy–and you’ll see why! He was full of personality and energy. We really had so much fun! I really love working with kids–it’s shoots like these where I get to play and run and laugh that I feel like I get the best shots! Take a gander at what we captured:

He had beautiful long eyelashes!

We found a cute little caterpillar. If you look hard you’ll see him. He entertained us for a minute or two.

Loved his sweet little necklace!

Cuddles.

Check out his yoga moves!

And check out those converse. Loved them!

Peek a boo! So cute!

More cuddles!

Shhhhh….this is a surprise for dad! Priceless!

A favorite of mine.

And, he brought a few of his favorite friends along.

Otis, you and your furry buddies were a pleasure to work with! xo andrea

I have had the joy of working with this sweet little fella since he was just a tiny squishy little guy. And, my how he has grown! He get’s cuter each time! This shoot was all about him. We got some great shots of this beautiful boy–take a peek.

We had an incredible time working with these amazing young ladies. They each brought their own beauty and personality to our concept shoot. Thank you girls for all of your laughter, smiles, and sunshine you brought to this project!

What a groovy time we had! Peace out for now, but be on the look out for more projects like this!

XOXO

Shack and I had the joy of working with this sweet little guy las week. Cullen was the perfect model–soooo cooperative and absolutely beautiful! The really cool thing is I had the joy of photographing his parent’s wedding just a couple of years ago. It’s so cool when I get to photograph new stages of life for clients that I’ve worked with in the past. It really makes me realize how important my job is! We have so many great shots to share:

Look at this little guy all stretched out–not a worry in the world!

Love this shot with mom and dad–so sweet.

And oh the sweet expressions of a newborn baby. Look at those lips!

Another tender family moment. One of my faves!

Beth and Wes, once again it was a joy to work with you! Cullen is such a precious little guy! May you always remember the joy and tenderness of these fleeting moments! xo Andrea & Shack

Loved working with this sweet family again! They’ve recently welcomed their second addition to their family and wanted to capture some special memories. I was happy to do so! Take a look at what we got:

Lovely mom with her sweet little peanut.

Look at those beautiful blue eyes!

Once with proud big brother. Look at that little tongue sticking out.

Curious little curly headed boy.

We did a little a little bike riding.

Sweet kisses!

And a family shot! Look at those beautiful blooms.

Stay tuned for more great stuff–we’ve been busy around here! xo Andrea

Loved getting to work with this beautiful, sweet family again. Zso is preggers with her second little one. We got to shoot at Monticello–spring was just starting to bloom! LOve this first shot:

I love seeing couples so in love!

Beautiful light + beautiful subject= beautiful shot!

We got to play a little bit to with their sweet little one!

Once Monticello closed up we headed down the hill for at few more shots at the trail. Look at that sweet little face.

Tickle fun!

If you remember, a few weeks back we held a little contest on Facebook! We wanted to see what couples out there wanted their photos taken and why. It was a HUGE success to say the least. I always love contests that get some exciting moving on facebook and the blog! Anyway, Melissa and Dave are the lovebirds that ended up winning our little contest! And, a couple of weeks ago, they traveled up to beautiful Cville from Charlotte, NC to allow Shack and I the honor and privilege of photographing them! Take a peek at the fun shots we got:

Pretty fun huh?! It’s always so fun capturing people in love! Melissa and Dave, we had such a great time working with you! We hope you had as much fun as we did! xo ~ Andrea & Shack
