The Gay Family | Falls Church Portrait Photographer

Evan, Anne & sweet little Grace. It was such a wonderful afternoon capturing moments between this family! We met over by the winding path that leads around the lake near New Providence Drive in Falls Church. The golden leaves of fall hung brightly from the trees & piles of foliage, just as vibrant, crunched under our feet as we made our way around the lake.

Grace's sweet giggles & excitement upon discovering how to throw fistfuls of leaves was so fun to watch! It was wiiiiiindy on that afternoon but Evan & Anne rallied their little girl's spirits up with tickles, a stuffed bunny & lots of snuggling to stay warm. Thank y'all for letting me photograph your wonderful family!

Chelsea Drinkard of The Closet Stylist | Lynchburg Portrait Session

I was blessed to have not 1 but 3 closets to shop in while growing up - mine, my sister's & my mom's. Chelsea has always had such a phenomenal sense of style & to this day, I ask to borrow belts, jewelry & shoes whenever we're in the same town! Until we started growing like weeds in our teen years, we browsed Mom's closet for wardrobe updates. It only makes sense that Chelsea, a woman with such fantastic style, would then use her incredible taste to help others!

Enter The Closet Stylist! For my Tampa Baby-area friends who are wanting some closet tweaking, new everyday staples or help reselling items you've cleaned out of your closet, Chelsea Drinkard is the woman to get it done. I cannot tell you how many times I've called, texted or yelled into the other room (when we were living together, or when we're in town visiting) to ask Chels for her advice on what to wear with a new skirt, which earrings look best or how to add accessories to jazz up a plain outfit. She always has great suggestions on what looks best & how to put color combos/patterns together.

"Whether you think you can or can't pull off an outfit, you're right."

Can I get an amen on that? If you don't know where to start when putting together outfits from clothes you already own or how to incorporate colors that are best for your skin tone or are afraid to try new styles/trends, you're not alone! With kind encouragement & expertise from The Closet Stylist, you can choose from 3 packages to fit your styling needs:

1. Out with the Old
2. I Have Nothing to Wear
3. Fresh Start
 

The necklace above = amazing colors! Fantastic design! (P.S. Sis, maybe you can send one my way??)

Gay Family Portraits | Sneak peek

This precious family was such a joy to photograph. Evan & Dean were in the same Small Group of guys at church a few years ago & we got to reconnect/meet Anne at a mutual friend's beautiful wedding several weeks ago.

Although it was freeeeezing (literally) outside during the portraits, even their precious little girl was such a trooper. More of their fall foliage session coming soon!
