Great Week!

What an end to a great week!  Quite a few wedding sessions and great to meet with some wonderful newly engaged couples!  Family sessions in the Historic Williamsburg today having photographed a large group of young dancers last night!
Below is a session with Jen Griffith and Michael Farino... Also included is Michaels sister Shannon... great to see all of you!

God Painted the sky last night

Just a look at God's amazing canvas, He painted the March sunset from east view of the James River.

My Niece's and their boyfriends has just played around in the sand playing football.

A bit cool but a wow of an evening, especially since it was supposed to have rained all day.  This is what we received instead!  I'll take it!  Some fun photos to come...

Below is the obvious western view over the creek.

From Here to There

Chris and Satoko were great fun to work with!  The Historic area had a special

place in their hearts, as this was where Chris proposed to Satoko a few years before.  They

had wanted to do some family shots as they will be leaving to move out of the country very soon.

While the very loving grandparents stayed with their two children to warm up at the Lodge, Chris, Satoko and I headed to the location that had been so romantic and special.  As you can see it brought all the feelings and emotions back as if it were that special day!  Great people and family!  Thanks for entrusting me with your family session... I will be putting some of your beautiful kids up soon.  Safe travels my friends!  Keep in touch!

Montage of sessions over the last few weeks Coming soon!

I've been very busy and yet haven't blogged recently... bad bad girl!  I have a few sessions that will be coming soon!  Here is a cute little one that was photographed on Saturday morning early.  She is a doll baby,  I was her "personal photographer" as her Daddy calls me when she was just  5 days old.  Here is little Seva at 6 months.

Here is Lisa, she is a student who will be competing in the Miss Virginia pageant in April... I really respect her!  She is  beautiful, studies very hard, has strong convictions which I think will be seen in the future even in our political arenas.  Had a blast today Lisa!  Good luck in April!

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!
