The Beaver Family. Rock Spring Farm.

My community is about roots. Families living their days connected to ancestors by the  farm land.  See that family picnicing under the big tree? That’s been the way they roll for generations and Sharon brought out a worn photo from 1910 . . .  a family in high necked, long dresses and suits and hats standing on that same front porch, to prove it.

The Beaver family has become so dear to my heart. They invited me into their lives last year when Megan and Liam were married at Linganore Wine Cellars.

So when Sharon invited me back into their lives . . . this time for a lifestyle session . . . it warmed my heart.

I don’t even have to share their stories . . . you’ll see their family history in the photos, as every location had it’s own precious memory attached.

Wanda’s very own Giving Tree.

Penn Staters . . . all of them . . . and here’s the next generation.  They bleed blue- no lie.

And Megan + Liam are still in that newleywed zone. Theirs is a true, pure love if I’ve ever seen one. The adventure is only beginning as they are getting ready to move to Tennessee where Liam has landed a baseball coaching position for Lincoln Memorial University. Megan sadly said goodbye to her English teaching post in Southern Maryland, but she’s in for the adventure.

Documenting the everyday moments. That’s such a huge gift to the generations to come . . . a priceless family heirloom. Don’t wait.
