I had a fantastic time photographing my best friend of thirty plus years – who is also named Melanie – and her daughter, Olivia at The Holmes Run Stream Valley Park in Annandale, Virginia! Melanie and I used to wonder through the creek together when we were girls and it was a treat to take her little one to our old stomping grounds. Melanie has a background in dog training and it was only fitting that she also bring Jackson, their Brazilian Mastiff. The color in the fall leaves was holding on tight… winter is coming!
