Carie and I go way back! Like, play in the sandbox, ride bikes and doll babies! We have known each other since we were kids and our parents were great friends. Of course, as is typical, once we grew up and headed in separate directions, we lost touch. So when we enrolled our kids in Faith Christian School over 2 years ago, our paths crossed again and it was great to catch up! Carie has 2 beautiful kids and an adorable home so we started our session there on a very, very, very cold day!
Jay has just started guitar lessons and is loving it!
Carie and Kendall have a really sweet relationship!
Love her eyelashes!
Family picture!
We decided to be brave and head out into the cold! It paid off because the light was gorgeous and I loved the unique whitewashed effect on the outside of their house!
Here is what you can get at sunset in their backyard!
When we could no longer feel our extremities, we racked our brains for somewhere inside! Our only idea was Ram’s Head bookstore inside of Towers Mall. As we pulled into the parking lot, an empty shopping cart caught my eye and my wheels started turning! I love it when the ordinary becomes extraordinary!
Inside we discovered the bookstore closed, but found a few other locations that were fun! Anyone want an Orange Dog!!!
I liked the lines in this one. These guys are too cute together!
There are many more in the slideshow, so watch it below! Thanks Carie for letting me hang out with you guys for the afternoon! Thank you Jay and Kendall for having fun and being good sports!
This post will have lots of pictures. Just to warn you.
I adore this family! I only just met them and yet know that they are genuine and true. Chad and Aileen love their family more than life. It shows in how they interact, how they talk, how they watch. They want to give their children the world. To that end, they are in the process of leaving Roanoke, their lifelong home, and moving to Illinois. Thus our choice of location for their session. Nothing says Roanoke like Mill Mountain! However, we never made it! This was the outcome of our trek to the star!
So, on to plan B! Nothing says Roanoke like the Market!
Jackson enjoyed the textures.
Sophie is gorgeous….
….and likes to catch raindrops on her tongue!
Jed is just plain cute!
A favorite family hang-out is Good Things on the Market. Full of sweets and penny candy, I can see why! Jackson stocked up on his favorite – jelly beans!
Jed was in heaven!
This sign in a store window said it all.
Chad, a graphic designer, created these banners that now hang in Center in the Square!
Next up, the Roanoke Weiner Stand!
This……
……resulted in this!
Meanwhile, Aileen and Jackson were having a wonderful moment. I love the tenderness in this image.
With full bellies and warm hands, we decided to head out again for a few more photos. When we rounded the corner to this little park, I was floored. My thinking – God planned this!
Wow. I have no words.
Dancing!
Playing!
Loving!
Amazing!
Chad and Alieen, you have touched me. Your family is wonderful and will be missed greatly! I know the Lord will bless your new venture and nurture your family. Believe it or not, there are more pictures! Watch your slideshow below! Thank you for sharing your children with me. I loved every minute!
