Oh So Sweet|Newborn Photography

Seriously, can any baby be more adorable than this little guy?? And although he looks like he is ready to be done with all this picture taking nonsense, this little man was such a trooper. He is 11 days old in these images which is a great time to do newborn portraits. If we schedule these sessions within the first two weeks, most newborns are quite content to sleep and just go with the flow. It does take a bit of work to get these artistic images, but I have to say this baby made it easy. His mom & dad are so fun and are doing such a great job as brand-new parents! You can tell they are going to have such a great time together. Thank you, Kim & Mike, for letting me play with your little guy. Mike, I hope you like this little peek ;-) There were so many beautiful images, but as always I saved my favorites for when you all come to the studio for your design session!

June Wedding | Shenandoah Valley Photographer

What a fun month this has been! June has been hopping and I am trying to catch up on my workflow. My first priority was to post a few wedding images for some newlyweds! Congratulations to the new Mr. & Mrs. Jack Kerr who were married at the beginning of the month. I hope you all enjoy a sneak peek at your wedding photos. I'm looking forward to showing you all the rest when you come to the studio.

Vacation was fun...

...but, I was happy to get back to work, especially if it meant taking some fun maternity pictures of a beautiful mom-to-be and her sweet husband! We started in the studio and then drove over to a nearby park to take advantage the nice afternoon. Things sure got green around here while I was gone. The session was fun and Kim had amazing stamina considering she is only 6 weeks away from delivering her little boy. Can't wait to meet him :-) I hope you all like the sneak peek...

Chapman Wedding | Shenandoah Valley Wedding Photographer

April weather in Virginia is usually a roller coaster of temperature & precipitation, but not this year! We have had wonderfully warm days and I think most everyone is happy to enjoy the sun after our two blizzards earlier this year. This lovely couple was especially happy that the weather was so nice in early April! The Chapman wedding was a beautiful event held at the Cross Keys Vineyard. Great venue, great food and great friends made for a memorable wedding. Steve & Laura, I hope you all enjoy your sneak peek!

William and Family

Since my last post, I have been getting myself organized for 2010. I can't say that I am there yet...but I'm getting closer! This fun family was my first photo session after the New Year and one of the first to be entered from my studio in the NILMDTS charity model search. It was such a rainy cold day, but the studio was warm and William (cool dude reclining below) kept us all busy and smiling!

Don't you love William and his Dad doing their best "James Bond" impression?

To see the families we've entered in the contest, go to Sandy Puc Models and click on the gallery. You can filter the images by tour city...ours is Richmond! Don't forget to vote for your favorite. The family that gets the most votes wins a new car and NILMDTS will receive all the proceeds to help fund their charity this year. It is a "win - win" for everyone!
