A few years ago I first met the Schutt family. Their son Jackson was only about 1 and of course they didn’t have their daughter yet. 2.5 years ago, I photographed sweet Emily’s newborn session, and every year I get to photograph their family session. This family session was filled with laughter and piggy back rides. I always enjoy photographing this family every year and I think these are a few of my favorite family photos of theirs to date.
See a few of my favorites from their Summer Family Session Manassas Battlefield below.
