Look at that face, y'all. Betsy and Jonathan looked pretty adorable during their engagement session, but they've got nothing on Ollie's cuteness! I met up with this little family at Airlie in Warrenton, VA for their photos, and we had a beautiful evening walking around the gardens together. Betsy and Jonathan were actually supposed to get their engagement photos done in Florida (where they're getting married next year), but had to change plans due to weather. But I think everything happens for a reason, and it all worked out in the end because we had a gorgeous day!

And it's hard to believe, but Betsy actually ran a half marathon earlier in the day before our shoot. I know I would have been passed out on the couch after completing something like that, but here she was looking gorgeous just a couple hours later!

Ollie's a beagle/dachshund mix, and his short little legs are my favorite ❤

There was so much laughter during their session! I loved it! It's so easy to see how happy they make each other.

Betsy and Jonathan were so smart, and brought a couple friends along to the shoot to help with Ollie. It allowed us to grab some photos of just the two of them, and gave us a little extra help with getting Ollie to focus on the camera (or to focus on the treats held over my head, however you want to look at it haha).

This laughter was brought to you by Betsy's beautiful rendition of her favorite song, "Gucci Gang."
