Last Sunday’s family session at Willowsford in Aldie, Virginia has been months in the making. Last February, J, the mom, reached out to me for a Cherry Blossoms mini session. We scheduled their family photo shoot in April. But because of the pandemic, we had to reschedule it this fall. When J booked their family session, R, the toddler, was a 4-month old baby. Last Sunday, R just recently turned 1. So just imagine my excitement when their family session is finally about to happen.
Brenna wanted a mix of urban and natural setting for her senior session. So I thought Reston Town Center and Lake Fairfax Park in Reston, Virginia are the perfect locations to do her senior pictures at. Reston Town Center is an outdoor mall that has tons of red bricks, interesting & fun store front designs, a park, and a lot of parking garages. While, Lake Fairfax Park is a huge park that has a huge greenery, a wooden bridge, and of course, a lake.
“I can’t do it anymore!!! It hurts… It hurts a lot!!!” were the words that I said as I was pushing while wearing a mask on July 9th a few minutes before 4:29 PM. Yes, you read that right. I was wearing a mask while I was in labor and as I was pushing. That’s what it was like to give birth during a pandemic.
