The Shenandoah National Park is one of my favorite places in the world.  It’s awfully convenient that the entrance to Skyline Drive is only minutes from my home! 😉 Big Meadows is a favorite photo location for me.  I just love the wide meadow, wildflowers, and the delicious golden light that shines through just before sunset.  Couple all this with a beautiful sunset backdrop over the Shenandoah Valley and it is seriously a match made in photographer heaven!

This session was especially special to me because these kiddos are my cousins.  When I edit, my own kids occasionally like to climb up on my lap and watch.  Carter peered onto my computer screen and said “Man, that little boy looks an awful lot like Quinn!”  I had to giggle when I responded, “Yes, Carter. That’s because it IS Quinn.” 🙂

Both of these guys were SO easy to get along with and cooperative for the entire session.

They love each other just a little bit. 😉

Cue evil villain laugh 🙂

Big sister teaching little brother how to pop the heads off of weeds.  These two have so much fun together!  This was just before I pointed out the “safari” trees in the distance that remind me of The Lion King. Bri held Quinn up like he was Simba and she was Rafiki! 🙂

Taking a little stroll…

And my favorite time, sunset over the Shenandoah Valley.

Thanks to these guys for being such good sports for their momma and me. 🙂

I love to hear from you! Comment below.
