FAMILIES | Long Family Maternity Session

Arriving early for my session last Saturday, I pulled into the bottom drive of the Liberty University Equestrian Center.  It had been cold earlier this week and my hopes for a comfortable sunny day were met.  I admired the sunlight as it warmed the backs of horses in the pasture and pooled around the old wooden buildings.  I knew the setting would be perfect to capture the love, warmth, and togetherness of the Long Family!

I was introduced to Randy and his wife, April, about five years ago through my husband's work at Liberty University. Over the years I have seen their family grow!  This is Randy and April's second child, a baby brother for 1 and 1/2 year old daughter Zahala, whose arrival is only two weeks away.  Photographing little ones can be challenging but Zaya was a peach!  She kept busy with one of my chalkboards while I took some images of mom and dad.  You can see how much she loved it in a few of the pictures!  The Long's were just a joy to work with!

Randy and April are so excited for this little boy, Uzziah, to join their clan!  I can't wait to meet him either!
