Usually, I'm the one behind the camera taking beautiful photos of families in stunning locations. But this past weekend, I got to switch things up and get in front of the camera with my own little family! This was our first time getting our family photos taken by another photographer! I took Lily's newborn photos, and I handed my camera to a family member to take some of the three of us together when she was a few weeks old. Other than that, it's mainly been me taking photos of Mark and Lily and Mark taking photos of me and Lily with a few tripod photos of the three of us mixed in.

As I'm sure you can understand, I'm so picky when it comes to choosing a photographer for my own family photos. After searching all over Asheville and Greenville, I found a photographer I absolutely LOVE, Rachel Marie Photography. I love how her work is light, but not overexposed and the perfect mixture of posed and candid photos. That can be so hard to find! I was so thankful that she was willing to shoot these for us and let me edit them myself.

We just bought annual passes to the Biltmore, and we couldn't think of a better place to take our photos! There are so many beautiful spots on the Biltmore grounds for family photos, but my personal favorite is the mountain views on the side of the Biltmore house.

Enjoy a few of my favorite photos from my own family session!
