About a year and a half ago, shortly after Aaron and I got married, we were invited to join a recreational indoor soccer team with some friends of ours. I had played soccer all throughout middle and highschool, which was obviously a while ago, now, and was eager to jump on an opportunity to get involved again. Plus, I thought it would be awesome (since Aaron loves all things sports-related) to be able to do something together. Not to mention, it served as a great way to meet some new people – which brings me to today’s post!

Brandon and Erin were both on that first indoor team that Aaron and I joined, and it was so easy to tell immediately that they were warm, friendly and fun people. It was awesome to be playing soccer with some other married couples and to get moments before and after games to get to know them a little bit. So I was extra excited when Erin emailed me last fall wanting to set up a portrait session for her and Brandon and their dog, Toby. They hadn’t had a professional shoot done since their engagement photos, so we were all collectively excited to head out into the beautiful fall colors (at Forest Hill Park) and make it happen! Plus, I was excited for an opportunity to hang out with them off of the soccer field. :)

Toby was clearly excited about this photoshoot, too! :)

Are they just an adorable little family, or what?

We, of course, had to have a little fun with the leaves!

Brandon quickly turned the fun AGAINST Erin…

And then they collectively turned against ME! (But it’s ok, I told them to…. ;)

Being the avid Virginia Tech fans that they are, it was only fitting to end the shoot with some shots in their jersies.

Toby is a fan, too!

How CUTE is this one? I love that Toby looked back. :)

Many thanks to Brandon and Erin for being awesome, and for such a fun shoot! Happy Thursday, everyone! :)
