Family Portraits (Northern Virginia Photographer)
Monday, April 25th, 2011
I have known Cathy since my senior year in college. She was my adviser for my internship in Social Work. The place I interned at was the Adoption Center of Washington, families could adopt children from Vietnam, China, and Russia (while I was there, things have since changed in some countries). Cathy took such good care of me, and always made sure I was learning. It was a great experience being able to work with her.
She contacted me a while ago about doing some pictures of her and her son, Sean. So we were finally able to meet up at Frying Pan Farm, but sadly the area I wanted to take pictures in was closed… But we found a cool fence, some cows and pigs, and made do 
Cathy’s son, Sean, I hadn’t seen since he was probably 10, and now he’s like 28 and 15 feet tall. He is such a wonderful young man! He was so nice, went with the flow, and seemed to really enjoy himself! I realized going into this session that I have never taken pictures of teen boys. I take pictures of little kids all the time and know tricks on how to get them to laugh or look at the camera, but had no idea what to do with a teenage boy! But Sean was great, I need to take him along with me on photo sessions, he was so much fun!
Sean wanted a picture with the cows, here ya go buddy
Seriously, he could not be any sweeter,
We did run into some GIANORMOUS pigs along the way! I never knew how loud pigs were…
Man, I love me some red barns!
And jumping shots are a must, obviously:
And of course, we had to include the sweet dog
Cathy and Sean it was so fun to see you again! I can’t believe it’s been this long, hope to see you again sometime soon
