Charlottesville Family Spring Portraits at Pleasant Grove

I have known the parents of this adorable Charlottesville family since college (and the dad is the brilliant surgeon who magically fixed my knee, God bless him), so it was a special treat to shoot their Spring portraits at Pleasant Grove. Their children are so cute: big sister is all first-born and little brother is all boy! The kids did such a great job at the session they earned the reward of watching Moana afterwards –and ironically, I came home to my own daughter belting out “How Far I’ll Go.”

“There comes a day when you’re gonna look around and realize happiness is where you are” — Moana’s parents (lyric from “Where You Are”)
