Eric, Christy, Lily and Paige

So I know it has been a while since I've checked in, but every now and then I come out of "retirement" to keep up with a hobby that I just can't seem to let go. A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of shooting one of my favorite "Culpepper Families" and close neighborhood friends - Eric, Christy, Lily and Paige. Over the years of living in our neighborhood, we've gained so many friends in what used to be a small community. Eric and Christy are part of the first Culpepper Landing crew members that we met and we are so glad to have gained their friendship. They are some of the best neighborhood partiers, caring friends, and just plain fun people to be around. Of course, Eric is the best "trash" talker in the history of sports competitions, but for some reason I find his trash talk entertaining. Heidi Calma, my sister in-law, (and great up and coming photographer www.heidicalmaphotography.com) joined me for some assistance with this shoot and was a big help for posing and gathering. We took the family to the Deep Creek Lock Park for an early morning shoot and had a good time. Lily got comfortable behind the camera and Paige was a good sport. We enjoyed hanging with our buddies from The Pepper and look forward to more shoots as the kids get older!
