Caleb | Fort Defiance Senior Portraits

Seriously Ladies, who can resist a good looking guy in a suit?? Caleb, you did a great job with your portrait session. I hope you enjoy your sneak peek!

I love this image! Hope those numbers have washed off at some point in the last few weeks...

Alex | Fort Defiance High School Senior

Alex, I just have one thing to say...You ROCK!

Sisterhood | Staunton Virginia Photographer

As I currently live in a houseful of men (both big & small), this portrait session brought back many fun memories for me. Don't get me wrong, I love the rough & tumble world of boyhood! But, spending time with these three delightful little girls reminded me of the days when I had my three girls were little :-) I really enjoyed listening to them and watching them interact with each other. The images definitely show that sweet bond that sisters always have! Hope you enjoy the peek...

Beautiful | Child Photographer Harrisonburg Virginia

I happen to be someone who truly thinks all children are beautiful. There is a unique light that shines in each of them and it is so fun to catch little glimpses of the individuals they will grow to be. That being said, there are some children that are breaktakingly beautiful. Yes, I made up that word. It simply fit this little guy. My friend, Lisa, brought her son to see me this week and my first thought was how beautiful this child is...his face and especially his eyes are so expressive! While everyone likes images where little ones are smiling, I love that we captured so many different expressions from such a little fella! We definitely have a few smiling photos, but some of the others just crack me up! Lisa, thanks for visiting me and letting me take these portraits. It was so fun and I hope we can get together and let our boys play sometime soon. Enjoy your sneak peek!

Friends

On one of those hot, hot evenings last week, I met two high school seniors for a unique session. These friends have a number of things in common, including spending time with their wonderful horses and adorable little dogs. It was great fun getting to know the girls a bit and photographing some beautiful images. Here is Sydney's sneak peek...stay tuned for parts 2 & 3!

Kate - Fort Defiance Senior {Shenandoah Valley Photographer}

What a smile! Despite the incredible heat & humidity last week, Kate did an awesome job during our photo session. Can't wait to finish up later in August. Enjoy the sneak peek!

Fort Defiance Senior {Shenandoah Valley Photographer}

I love this ring image...and I have to say all the football jersey images from this session were some of my favorites so far this summer. Enjoy!

Double the Sweetness + One {Shenandoah Valley Photographer}

This family photo session was one of the most fun mornings I have had in ages :-) Beautiful 10 month old twin girls and their four year old big brother are keeping these parents hopping! It was definitely a bit of work for us grown-ups, but I really love the images we captured. The girls are just adorable with their blue eyes, blond curls & chubby rolls. While they aren't quite walking yet, they are most assuredly on the move! Their mom, Amy & my assistant Caitlin were doing some serious aerobic activity helping me move the girls back into position for some of the photos. Their dad, Tony, did an awesome job getting smiles and giggles with lots of silly faces & antics. Their equally cute brother {A} was excited to share his new hermit crab with me and show us all his cool toys. I especially enjoyed photographing him down by the river near his house. Here's a quick sneak peek of a few of the images from the session. Amy, I was so excited to find someone who loves black & white photography as much as I do. I converted a number of images, and even textured the one below. It gives it an "vintage" look...but decided to hand paint Crabby back in just for fun :-) Cait & I had a great time with your family - you all seriously ROCK!

Hot, Hot, Hot...|Staunton, Virginia Photographer

...despite record heat here in Virginia, some brave high school seniors have been enthusiastic about having their sessions outside. I have to say these sessions are some of my favorites. It was great fun to meet Kylie and her sister in downtown Staunton for a morning photo session. There are so many interesting little walls, buildings and out of the way places there. Kylie did a wonderful job in front of the camera and I love the way her eyes sparkle! I can't wait to show her the rest of the portraits when she comes by the studio. A special thanks to Abby for helping with the reflector - way to find the light, girl :-)
