It’s so crazy to me that I’ve known the Arndts for almost 6 years…. And it’s even crazier to think I haven’t photographed them as a family in almost 3! It seems like so much longer than that because the kids have all grown so much! Hannah was just a baby the last time we did portraits! They came down to Fredericksburg and we let the kids play along the Rappahannock River and we had fun!! The kids love being outside and they got nice and dirty by the end from wading in the water and playing in the sand, haha! Those three boys play hard, and little miss Hannah keeps right up with them! Michael walked through some shallow water to another part of the river and she quickly rolled up her pants to go with him, she was throwing rocks and shells as hard as she could like her brothers…she’s a tough one!! Benjamin & Nathan were such a big help and were so agreeable during their portraits standing together as a family, and Michael is just a HAM! I always get such expressive shots of him, haha! They’re a fun bunch!

Emily & Thomas, thank you for your support both personally and in my business over these years of our friendship. I’m so glad to be your photographer. Hopefully it won’t be so long until we do this again!! Enjoy your blog post!!

They were hiking a rock like a football!



Little model!

See? He’s full of all kinds of personality, haha!





Such a sweet shot of Thomas & Hannah – and look at those handsome boys!



Now Benjamin has moved on to the rocks being basketballs, haha!
