There is nothing sweeter this autumn than The Villeral’s Manassas Battlefield Park family session. I had been wanting to photograph at this park for so long that when Alexius asked for suggestions, this gorgeous park made the list. I have been lucky enough to photograph the Villeral Family for many different occasions. Starting with their engagement session in Virginia, their wedding in Pennsylvania, their virtual maternity session over FaceTime, and now welcoming baby Reagan to the world. It is truly an honor to being trusted to document so many beautiful memories.

It was an incredibly gorgeous fall afternoon just as the sun was beginning to lower. As we caught up on life during a pandemic, we found a beautiful tree that was just beginning to change colors and away from the crowds. I was so excited to meet their baby girl for the first time and it was the hardest thing not to hug them! Afterall, the Villeral’s have become family! Reagan was all smiles and curious for the camera. That is a given considering her mom is a photographer herself. These are some of my favorite fall family session images to date. I cannot wait for another Manassas Battlefield Park Family Session!

Congratulations Villeral Family!
