Barrett, Jessica, Maeryn, and Lilly l National Arboretum

October 19th, 2014

Autumn arrives with a gust of wind the morning we meet up with the McVary family at the US National Arboretum. It's my first visit despite being a Maryland native, pretty exciting! Gusty wind yes, but with it rolls in some gorgeous morning sunshine to show off the grounds. We set off together to explore, bringing along with us the family's four-legged friend, Lilly! I love sharing the adventure of a shoot with the entire family; between babies and puppies there's never a dull moment.

As we head up towards the National Capitol Columns the wind picks up, luckily a bed of wildflowers makes for an excellent hideaway to snuggle up. Little Maeryn is nearly two and not quite sure about this windy morning plan. Dad gets her bundled up and we head for the woods where we can relax and have some fun in the leaves. All in all a pretty lovely fall morning!

So good to know you McVary Family!
