Sentimental Senior and Family Photographer based in Glen Allen, VA

The behind the scenes recap post is one of my favorites of the entire year. I love looking back on all the fun moments with clients and how we created our amazing images.  This year has been one of growth, some maintenance, and a little bit of change mixed in there! I moved a bit slower than normal during sessions this year because of a knee injury, but thank goodness for physical therapy! Somehow, I also managed to lose 12 pounds during the course of my shooting season. Y’all know how to keep a girl busy! There’s been some changes to our family routines and schedules in the last few months have been a challenge, but in the end it’s all worked out to be an incredible year! Take a look at some of my favorite moments:
