I love when clients want photos as a surprise for their spouse! What a fun idea! (I did double check that I could blog these because I didn’t want to ruin the surprise and I was told not to worry.) Meet Linda the mother of my “adorable assistant”/BFF Rebecca! Linda was kind enough to let me stay with them while I was in Florida shooting Amanda’s wedding and they chauffeured me around which was super sweet of them. We chatted about doing some holiday photos for her to give to her hubby for Christmas and I was happy to oblige! We meandered around Downtown Fredericksburg for her session and found some beautiful holiday decorations to make a nice backdrop. I especially love the image above taken over by the gardens of Kenmore Inn, such beautiful colors! Linda you look fabulous and I hope your hubby loves the photos!!
