A joyful late-fall family session in Charlottesville | Charlottesville Family Photographer

The good thing about sharing a session that took place almost four months ago is that I get to fall in love with it all over again. 

There is so much to adore about the Cox Family's gorgeous November session — the late-autumn foliage, mom's pretty floral dress, and the soft, wispy clouds. But the thing that stands out most to me is how much joy we bottled up. From the first shot to the last, Mom, Dad, and their sweet boy glowed!

Although my family and I moved to Charlottesville in 2019, 2021 felt like my first real year in business here (for obvious, 2020-related reasons), and I'm so thankful to families like the Coxes for making it worth the wait. 

The Cox family chose to preserve their session in a my new fabric-covered album. The first page includes the lyrics, "In every life we have some trouble, but when you worry, you make it double.
Don't worry, be happy" — their son's favorite song. The cover is foil-debossed with "Our Family / November 2021."
