Fall Mini Sessions in Midlothian Virginia | Family Portraits in Richmond VA
/
Parent's biggest fear for family portraits is that their kids are not going to cooperate and guess what? They're right! My advice to parents is to come to terms with the fact that their kids are going to be unpredictable and very likely uncooperative. Accepting that fact and staying calm is the key to a great portrait session! These parents were rock stars!! This little man was not happy at all, but they stayed calm, kept smiles on their faces and eventually together we captured some very sweet moments

I love photographing this family! I first met them when mom was pregnant with the youngest. I was told that big sister doesn’t do very well with photos and doesn’t warm up to people easily, but we hit it off right away! I’ve since done many pictures for this family. When I met them for this fall’s mini session Big Sister gave me the biggest hug!! So many reasons to be grateful for my work! Can’t wait to meet baby number three!!!

I love shooting outdoors, but there's always the chance that the weather is not going to cooperate. When it rains most families choose to reschedule. Not the Taggarts! I was so excited when they emailed me that if it rains they will be ready with rain boots and cute umbrellas. I loved this session so much because these images are truly unique and I don't know many kids who don't get excited about playing in the rain! So, if it's calling for rain for your outdoor portrait session, don't be so quick to reschedule!

Such an honor to be selected as this wonderful families first ever professional photographer! What an amazing night. The light at Midlothian Mine Park on a sunny day is out of this world! I had such an awesome time capturing the kids blowing bubbles and chasing geese. My job doesn't get much better then this!

Another beautiful day and family portrait session at Mid-Lothian Mines Park! Mid-Lothian Mines is quickly becoming one of my favorite locations for portrait session and not just because it is close to home! The trails allow for great light through the tall trees that stretch up to the sky, the tunnel lets me be creative with silhouettes (oh and the kids LOVE it) and of course you have the water and trees that always make for a nice backdrop. You can't go wrong with this place!
The Sweetser family showed up looking quite dazzling! I absolutely love it when my families take the time to really coordinate their outfits without over doing it and being too "matchy". It really does add that extra wow factor to your photographs. Everyone was very well put together. Tiffany did an awesome job!!
The kids were a lot of fun and as with 95% of the kids I photograph they certainly kept me on my toes! Even though it can be a challenge I love photographing kids who have a lot of energy and big personalities. Not only do these personality traits create the best photos, but I get a work out in as well. If it weren't for photographing kids I wouldn't get any exercise at all!!
All of the kids had unique personalities and I love how they show in the images. One of the boys reminded me so much of my oldest son. They had very similar personalities and I imagine this is how Brennan will be in a few years! Not only did the kids impress me with their charm, but they had some great location ideas as well!
At the end of the session it was time to play with some snow! I like to save it until the end so I can use it as a bride for the kids (hey,do what you've got to do right?). They get so excited when they see it! I'm sure it has something to do with the fact that snow is a novelty here in VA. It doesn't matter that it's not real snow (and as Luke found out it doesn't taste very good either) they still love it and I love the smiles on their face! It's always so much fun!!
Looks like someone painted over the very unattractive gravity in the tunnel. I'd say it still needs a little work, but hey look it matches their outfits!
Let it snow! I wish I had my snow machine for this session. It arrived a couple weeks too late!
Alicia & Drew | Engagement at Midlothian Mines Park | Sarah Kane Photography

Another gorgeous day for an engagement session at Midlothian Mines Park! I've lived in Midlothian for 6 years now and this was my first photo session at the park. Can you believe that? Sometimes we are blind to the obvious, but I am so glad Alicia chose this park because it is a great location for an engagement session or any kind of session really!
This was a special engagement session because Alicia brought along her 2 very sweet and beautiful daughters for some family pictures as well. It was so nice to see the love this new family shared and meet the girls before Alicia & Drew's wedding. It's obvious the girls adore Drew and Drew adores them just as much!
Anna and Reese were so funny! They were not shy at all in front of the camera and knew how to work their inner divas. Anything I asked them to do they were game. Anna is the perfect big sister. She was so sweet with her little sister Reese. I hope my boys are as sweet to each other when they are their age! Apparently though the sweetness turns a little bitter during a long car ride to Florida, which I can understand. Anything beyond 4 hours in the car for me and I'm not as sweet either!
Not only were they darling, but they had some ideas of their own too. Reese ran under a beautiful tree and struck a pose. She found an amazing spot with perfect light! Reese was also very excited to walk through the tunnel and we promised that at the end of the session we would walk through the tunnel and see if we can find a few more spots for pictures. Turned out the tunnel was an awesome place for pictures! When I snapped the family picture in the light of the tunnel and took a quick peek at my camera screen my stomach got butterflies (yes that still happens to me when I get really excited about a picture)! Reese found another perfect spot once again.
I cannot tell you how excited I am to for Alicia & Drew's wedding in September! It's going to be a small, intimate and romantic wedding at The Mill at Fine Creek. A beautiful venue, a beautiful couple and two beautiful young ladies. How could the pictures not be AMAZING?! Congratulations Alicia, Drew, Anna & Reese!!
