paige.

Paige just celebrated the 19th anniversary of her 21st birthday! She contacted me a couple of months ago to see if I could help her mark the special occasion, and I've been looking forward to it ever since!

Paige is a remarkable woman. She worked as an an orchestral conductor for 18 years, and she is now a foreign service officer heading to Austria next summer. In preparation for the move, she is currently taking intensive German classes, and she laughed about dreaming in a jumbled, unrecognizable version of the language. Paige is so lovely, inside and out. She has lived through tremendous heartache and triumph, and her carefree spirit and kind soul reflect her diverse experiences. I can't tell you how much fun we had running around Old Town Warrenton last Sunday! I think we spent most of the afternoon laughing...










When Paige and I first met to talk about this photo shoot, she told me that she'd love for some of the photos to feel patriotic. Her late father served both in the Navy and the Army, and she's felt more and more of a connection with him since she moved back to Virginia. I love that we found this truck perfectly placed under the American flag...

Paige-- I had such a wonderful time getting to know you! You are such a beautiful person (in every sense of the word) and I hope to see you again soon!
