If you reside anywhere between DC and Richmond, you understand me when I say 95 can ruin lives.  No matter how early you plan on leaving, it still can delay you by hours.  Poor Cody and Caitlin got stuck in awful 95 traffic and ended up getting to the session moments before sunset.  I pushed aside all anxiety and knew I had to try my hardest to make some magic happen within the next ten minutes or so.  We literally had to shoot in a PARKING LOT to get any sort of light!  Alaina was unhappy and didn’t want anything to do with pictures… poor kid! I wouldn’t either if I just had to sit in traffic.  But I think we really managed to capture some genuine moments for this sweet family! Proves, hot messes are the best sometimes 🙂
