Window Light
Clara's favorite thing is to watch for the garbage truck every Monday morning :-) Our garbage lady waves and beeps the horn and it's a really fun way to start our week! -Plus you can't beat that beautiful light! #yorktownfamilyphotographer #childrensphotography #Kids #HamptonRoadsfamilyphotography #HamptonRoadsPhotographer #Virginia

Fall Family Session ~ Beechlake Park, Newport News
We had another fun session tonight! This sweet family has two adorable boys who totally rocked their session this evening. We also lucked out with a gorgeous sunny afternoon!
The trees finally showed their colors tonight too!! We've had so many green shoots, it was exciting to see the golds and reds finally make their appearance. Such a fun night, perfect weather and sweet family!! I love fall family sessions!

Fall at the Beach ~ Fort Monroe, Virginia
This absolutely gorgeous family wanted to do their fall family photos at the beach and it was amazing!!! The light was beautiful, even though it was a cloudy and dreary evening. The sun finally popped out at the end and gave us some gorgeous dramatic skies. I had so much fun with them! And, can you believe the color of that water?? Fort Monroe is my little photography secret and the little section I shoot on is usually empty. Win!
We still haven't done our own famil

Beechlake Park, Newport News- Golden Hour
I took my little ones out to scout Beechlake Park on a rare sunny evening, and we had so much fun playing in the leaves and at the playground. They're so silly and adorable, even if they're slightly uncooperative models :-) Love my little wildlings!! #FallPhotography #Virigina #naturalportraits #kids #BeechlakePark #HamptonRoadsPhotographer #FallFamilySession #toddlers #bokeh #goldenhour #Photography #familyportraitphotography #outdoorphotography #SarahVillarrealPhotography

Up North
Made a quick trip up to Minnesota and even caught some snow and single digit temps. The first snow of fall is always my favorite. #FallPhotography #travelphotography #Minnesota #farms #snow
