A day on the town!-Engagement

What a wonderful day on the town!  From backyard havens, to beat up school houses, to the Colonial area, and to finish up with a refreshing Milk Shake!  I believe it was banana split with caramel, cookie dough, and mounds more goodness in that shake shared by our soon to be married lovers... Aaron and Sara.
You all brought the house down!  Great fun and igniting energy was shared today.  Thank you for a wonderful day and allowing me to play too!  I am putting up just a couple now and will put up a few more tomorrow.  Enjoy!

My New Nephew

Is this little guy cute or what!  All my soon to be 8 year old niece wanted for her birthday was a new puppy.  She did her research and wanted a male yorkshire terrier.  Instead they found a silky and did she ever get the best birthday present!  He has personality plus and has what they call the puppy sigh.  He just so relaxes and rests in your arms.  Weighing in at 2 lbs 11oz in the photo .... meet Charlie.

INAUGURATION IN VA

A beautiful brisk morning turned into an amazing gathering of crowds. A very humble and relaxed celebration with high praises, honoring of God and upholding the constitution.  From swearing in to parade festivities, to the final walk to the New Governor's Mansion.  The warmth of the day was felt by all.  It became very apparent the LOVE the Governor and his wife share for one another, family, God and country!  Governor Bob McDonnell carried his wife across the threshold of their new home in Richmond.  They brought much joy and humor to a wonderful day!  Congrats to you and your family!

Photo session in Historic Williamsburg

A great day for an "Upper Class" photo session with Alicia.  We were in and around the Historic Williamsburg area, with some great backdrops!  It always helps having a great subject to photograph especially when the temp is 32 degrees.  What a trooper Alicia was to weather the cold and still put on a pretty face!
Thanks Alicia for having me do your photo session and look forward to many more ahead!

Look who showed up!

What a wonderful surprise as  I heard my name called out in a large crowd.  It was some good friends coming to a see a great production!  I had been photographing the cast and while waiting for the last few, my friends stood in so as not to allow the set to be lonely.  The Christmas season has been a busy one for photography.  What a great blessing and a blast!  Soon will have up a couple of shots from the cast by the first of the year.  Thanks for stopping in guys!

Family Session

Well Well,  Too MUCH Red Bull tonight!  I am playing with some family sessions and editing tonight or should I say this morning!  How fun though!  Always love being able to create more from a session.  Waiting out the big snow storm of the year and preparing to do a wedding in the snow later today.  Stay tuned, I will be putting some of those up after the wedding.  Hmmm a bride in white on white snow?  Sounds interesting to me.

Fast Paced and Fun!

Busy week and weekend... Not complaining at all!~  Week of shooting and Saturdays shoot was a change of pace.  I was working with a wonderful realtor, Jolene.  We are shooting for her new website and had some great people partnering with her to make this happen!  One couple who were stunning to capture digitally while the sun was setting, it was icing on the cake for a photographer.  They were a beautiful young married couple, Chris and Shavon... see for yourself!

Then a small wedding at the William and Mary College either finished out the weekend or started the new week.  My handsome nephew and beautiful new niece!  Congrats Micah and Caitlin!!! Love you both!

Great Family session as well!  Rob and Fiona with their wonderful children!  We had a good time enjoying the last of the warm weather!  Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to capture you all today!  I enjoyed meeting you and your children and what a blessing!  You all have a real legacy going there!
