Miller Family Photos

I recently had the pleasure of taking photographs for a friend of mine who also moved from NC to VA this year. She is an accomplished marathoner, math whiz, and amazing wife and mother! We decided to meet on a gorgeous Sunday afternoon at 3 (we selected a time that would be best for her girls) at a local park. I arrived a bit early and took a couple pictures to get a feel for this new location. She was looking for some fall foliage, but sadly there isn't much to be found following Hurricane Sandy. Luckily, I managed to find this great tree!



The weather was perfect and the kids were incredibly cooperative and well behaved. My friend did a great job coordinating outfits for her family too! Here are some of my favorite shots from this session.

We started at the tree while another photographer was busy in front of the farmhouse. They changed up the poses and I took several shots to ensure all eyes were open, looking at the camera, and focused!





Once we got enough pictures with the fall foliage, we moved over to a shady spot behind the farmhouse.




We worked our way around the farmhouse, stopping at this fabulous barn door which made a great backdrop!



Finally, we were back at my originally selected spot. Another family waiting for photos was kind enough to give us a minute to grab some quick shots using the fence!


With that, we called it a day and the girls started practicing their balance beam walking on these parking stones. I couldn't resist taking just a few more shots!



Then the dad wanted a few shots of him tossing the girls in the air...something they LOVED!




This was a really fun photo shoot and I'm in love with this park. Not only is it ideal for pictures, but it has the best playground for toddlers!
