FAMILIES | Espenscheid Family Session

Dan Espenscheid is a coworker of mine at Liberty University!  He's been following my work for a while on Facebook (thanks Dan, I appreciate it!) and I was honored when he asked me about doing a family session!  All the Espenscheid kids and their spouses, minus a few grand kids, would be in town during the Liberty University Commencement weekend and of course, it was the perfect time to get them all together!

We decided to meet at Peaks View Park on a Sunday and my husband came along to assist me!  We don't get to work together a lot so that was nice!  Plus, he's really great at putting people at ease and making them laugh.  I like to refer to him as my personal laugh machine!

The park was full of green and it was a beautiful sunny day!  There was a lot of laughing, smiling, and fun during our session!  I think, needless to say, I had a fantastic time with this family and without further ado, let me introduce them!

This is Dan and his wife, Deborah (I told Deb remembering her name should be easy because it's both my mom and my mother in law's names)!   Dan works at Liberty University but is also a Flight Engineer in the Air Force!  I wore an Air Force sweatshirt to the shoot so point for me!  They live here in the Lynchburg area and have raised such a beautiful family!  They have four children - Dan, Derek, Dana and Dustin!

Derek and Amanda, live in New York, and are expecting a little one in a few months!  They also have two other children (i.e. the grand kids that couldn't make it!).  I'm hoping I'll be able to meet the whole family after the baby comes!

Dana is the only girl of the whole bunch and the youngest! She and her husband, Andy, have been married about two years and are living here in Lynchburg!  Aren't they sweet!

We decide to find a slightly different background for some of the group pictures!  Found the stone and a group of trees and thought those would be perfect!  These guys were great to work with - they made my job easy!
