Parents are always worried that their children are not going to cooperate for family portraits. I tell them to stop worrying bceause if you have a toddler, unless they are an exception, that there is no chance they are going to cooperate so why worry about it? When you have toddlers and young children you have to be realistic about who they are. If your child is very active and has a big personality why on earth would you want me to capture them sitting perfectly still like a little statue? My goal is to capture your family's true nature, so when your children are grown and you look at your pictures you are taken back in time remembering how precocious and rambunctious they were and how much you loved them for it. This beautiful family embraced their kids for who they are and I wouldn't have wanted this session to have gone any other way!

Richmond VA Fall Family Portraits at Forest Hill Park | Glen Allen Photographer | Sarah Kane Photography

The leaves are turning a bit late here in Richmond Va, but thankfully I know all of the secret places where the trees turn early! This is one of my favorite locations in the fall! Forest Hill Park is not only known for their amazing South of the James farmer's market, but it's beautiful trees, trails and lake!

Melody & Drew's Engagement {Richmond VA Wedding Photographer}

The trees at Forest Hill Park were on fire and so vibrant! It's truly one of nature's most beautiful things! I am so excited to capture this monumental moment in Melody & Drew's lives. We walked all around Forest Hill Park and I learned so much about Melody & Drew. I was very excited to learn that Melody is a fellow musician who sings, plays guitar, and piano! I think we will find that we have much in common and I can't wait to get to know then both better.

Another gorgeous maternity session in the great RVA and a morning spent with two very lovely and sweet mamas-to-be! Sarah & Coby are expecting their first baby girl in September and it was such an honor to photograph this very special time in their lives! Their little girl is so fortunate that she will be brought into a family of such love. She will also most likely be spoiled beyond her wildest dreams seeing as she is the first grandchild on Sarah's side of the family and a granddaughter at that. Good luck Sarah & Coby ;)

Kayte & Patrick | Engagement at Forest Hill Park in Richmond VA | Sarah Kane Photography

Engagement at Forest Hill Park RVA | Sarah Kane Photography

Fall is absolutely my favorite time of year. I love the changing leaves and the cool breezes. Kayte & Patrick's engagement session at Forest Hill Park was the perfect location for their autumn engagement session. The leaves at the top of the park were at their peak and so vibrant! Kayte & Patrick dressed in their wedding colors which stood out amazingly amidst of all the beautiful colors of the trees! Forest Hill Park has easily become my new favorite location to photograph in the fall.

We started the session out at the top of the hill where the leaves on the trees were breathtaking. They looked like a painting.  We then worked our way down to the lake. Kayte & Patrick were awesome to photograph. They shared such a special connection and were very easy going and laid back. I love that when Kayte's shoes were starting to hurt she kicked them off and walked barefoot, she climbed up on a rock in her dress and when I suggested they head on down into the creek (which was freezing cold)  Kayte & Patrick obliged without hesitation!

I had such a good evening with Kayte & Patrick for their engagement session. We couldn't have asked for better weather which is awesome because we had to reschedule their first session due to rain. It's a good thing we did though because the leaves would not have been nearly as vibrant. It was a very low key night and I hope Kayte & Patrick enjoyed it as much as I did. I'm really looking forward to their wedding next year. I'm even more excited because their two small children will be in the wedding. They are going to attempt to have the 3 year old pull the baby in a wagon. This is going to be awesome! I love seeing what kids will do and no matter what they end up doing they brighten the day even more. Especially when they don't cooperate and decide to do their own thing. It always makes for great pictures and an even more memorable experience. Congratulations Kayte & Patrick. I cannot wait to capture all of the moments of your special day!
