When Kelly contacted me about taking pictures of her family at their new home, she warned me that they didn’t have any furniture yet and things were pretty bare. Many times, I go into a house and spend time removing distractions and re-arranging furniture depending on the location of the best light. So the idea of a blank slate sounded like it had potential. As it turns out, it did! This gorgeous Southern style home with its rich dark wood floors, neutral colored walls and wide entryways from room to room made for the most beautiful photographs. The lack of furniture and decorations only draw your attention all the more to this adorable family and their beautiful smiles!

This fall, I was so blessed with business that I still have family sessions that have yet to appear on the blog! And since my 2016 sessions have already begun, I decided to wrap up all of the remaining fall families into today’s post. I am grateful for each of these families and all of the families in 2015 that trusted me to document these moments with their loved ones. Here’s one last look at fall, and then who’s ready for spring?

Today Katherine of Katherine Rae Bridal Beauty is visiting the blog to share a few quick tips for brides-to-be on achieving the perfect wedding day hairstyle. Here’s what Katherine had to say:

  1. Search Pinterest. Pinterest is a great source for beautiful wedding hairstyles. Create an album of all of the styles you like and then begin to narrow them down to the one that fits you best and compliments your dress.
  2. Schedule a trial run for your hair one month before your wedding day. Trials are key to achieving the exact look you want.
  3. Consult with your stylist. If you’re stumped and just can’t decide, ask your stylist for their opinion. Stylists always have good insight!

Katherine has 15 years of experience in the industry and a passion for styling hair and formal up dos. She offers on-location hair and makeup services in the DC, Maryland and Virginia area. Contact her for more great advice!
