Noah 9 months | Gretna, Virginia Family Photographer

So begins my attempt to catch up on my blogging...Noah turned 9 months old in June. We have been photographing him since he was born:) Here are a few of my favorites from his lovely summer session! Even though it was really hot, I managed to tough it out and get some great shots of this cutie! (Plus or minus several ticks...)

Of course, Noah's lovely Mommy, Jess, had to get in on a few too:)

We always do a photo with his sock monkeys:)

Cuteness OVERLOAD!!!

Such a sweet boy! I just love photographing him:) Thanks Jess for always choosing us for your photos! I recently did a session with Noah's sister Kaylynn as well, so look for that blog in the near future, as I attempt to catch up.

[Personal Update: I am on maternity leave. No baby yet!]

Chelsea | Bridal Session | Danville, Virginia Bridal Photographer

I am so thrilled to finally be able to share this session! I shot Chelsea's wedding this past Saturday, but we had a bridal session for her back in April! She is one of the most gorgeous brides that I have ever seen...and I'm so happy to have had the opportunity to do this session! I don't usually do many bridal sessions, since I don't shoot many weddings. BUT I LOVE BRIDAL SESSIONS! Seriously, call me if you're interested!

Anyways, I'll stop rambling...on to the photos! Here are some of Chelsea and I's favorites! It was really hard to narrow it down to a few...

I absolutely love her dress...

SO gorgeous...

Doesn't she rock the fierce face?!! Ahhhh! Love it!

Chelsea loved these in black and white:)

This is the one Chelsea's Mom chose for her portrait! It's in the field where they held the wedding this weekend:)

Thanks so much, Chelsea, for doing a bridal session with us! SO GORGEOUS, girl!

Look for a blog post soon of my favorites from their wedding!

Brandon | Rising Music Artist | Gretna, Virginia Photographer

Yesterday I spent the evening shooting Brandon Meadows...many of you locals know how musically talented he is. I was excited to work with Brandon to get shots for him to use for shows and flyers and to send out to potential bookings. We had such a nice day for photos...we were so happy to not be freezing! Brandon had 2 different guitars and several outfits, so we shot away!

Enjoy a few of my favorites!

Thanks Brandon for having me shoot you! I hope you love them so far;)

Laura | Model Session | Danville, Virginia Photographer

I've known Laura practically her whole life...everyone always thinks we're sisters. I take that as a huge compliment. I mean, wouldn't you want to be confused as the sister of this gorgeous gal? Laura wanted to do a model session over her winter break to build her portfolio, so we had some fun. Was a cloudy day, so look for us to do another session in the future with more sun:)

Here are a few of my favorites from Laura's session:

My favorite of them all...

"Happy New Year!"

So sassy!

LOVE this with the mask....

And this is a piece I made to doing something a little crazy for her portfolio...her skin is perfect.

We had tons of fun...and we didn't quite freeze! LOL! I can't wait for more sessions like this with Laura...

The Burkholders | Anniversary Session | Chatham, Virginia Photographer

Meet the Burkholders. They have been married a little over a year...and never had Engagement photos taken! It's never too late people! We love meeting new people, and these two are quite the couple. They endured the cold and the wind yesterday to get their session done! The sun was behind the clouds for most of the session, but decided to peek out a few times. We took advantage of those moments and got some great shots! I'm so jealous of Dianna's hair...all that wind and it still looked perfect! Definitely a plus for photo sessions:)

Here are a few of my favorites so far:)

There was lots of snuggling...which was totally fine with them, since it was so chilly!

Sandy didn't quite get all of the foliage:)

I saw her car, and just had to do a shot with it!

LOVE LOVE LOVE this one:) See the heart?

Check out those boots;)

Dianna has the best smile! Brenden's isn't too bad either;)

Sigh. I tell ya...this would have to be huge on my wall!! Thank you sun for peeking out!

Brenden and Dianna...we hope you love your photos! Thanks so much for asking us to do them, and for being such troopers to get them done!

Emily | 2013 Gretna Senior | Gretna, Virginia Photographer

Emily is a 2013 Senior at Gretna High. She and her Mom were so excited about her session, as were we! Emily has a great sense of style...her Mom said she felt like they were going on vacation with everything they packed for the session! I mean, she only had 8 pairs of shoes! LOL! We had so much fun though...I had a hard time, once again, narrowing down to a few favorites, so here are several:) Yet again, another gorgeous senior!

We started downtown, after the fabulous Katie Mosher did her makeup at Genesis Day Spa.

She reminds me a beautiful Indian princess here...

She said, "I feel like a sophisticated business woman in this outfit!" Well honey, you were working it!

Every woman should own a red pair of heels...

 And of course a little country flair...

She said she wanted unique props...so I let her use my antique camera score:) Brownie!

Emily plays softball for GHS and for Diamond Fever...she wanted to do this pose, and used many of her game balls. Each one of those is dated and marked with the game. Such a great way to remember those special moments!

Emily plans to attend Roanoke after graduation, where she will play softball. And check out that bling! Her state championship ring from 2010.

Love all of the color here...

And here is a concept that I wanted Emily to model...a Boho kind of feel. LOVE the way it turned out!

Thanks for being such a fabulous model, Emily! And for choosing us to do your senior photos! We hope that you and your family love them!

Here are a few of my favorites from Caleb's session!

ABSOLUTE FAVORITE!

He's so handsome:)

Showing off the ring;)

Caleb loves to hunt...and loves his dog Jessie, who was awesome for photos!

Thanks Caleb for having us do your senior photos! We hope that you and your family love them!

Chloe | 2013 Chatham Senior | Chatham, Virginia Photographer

Chloe is a good friend of mine, she dates my cousin, and she's just gorgeous:) I have been excited about her session since she booked it last Spring! She also was the first 2013 Senior to book us, so she is getting some awesome goodies:) We did her session this past Sunday {I know, I am trying to catch up on blogging}, which got off to a rough start. We had some issues with getting makeup done, but it all worked out...and was totally worth all of the stress beforehand to get these amazing photos afterwards! We didn't quite get to finish her session in time, so I shot a few more of her the next day after I did her BF Caleb's photos:) Hence the different hair! LOL. I had a really hard time just choosing a few to post, so there are several! I just love her, her personality is top notch...so fun to be around!

Chloe is the reigning Miss Chatham High, was crowned Homecoming Queen last Friday, plays volleyball, and enjoys hunting...YES, you read that right, hunting! And not just for deer around here...this girl goes bear hunting in CANADA with her Dad! Ha! It's still hard for me to comprehend that all of these amazing qualities fit into this one girl! Sigh. Well, enjoy looking at some of my favorites:)

LOVE both of these...

Just a simple country girl:)

With beautiful eyes!

I can't claim this fabulous idea here...the clock was all Chloe! She bought it months ago just for her session!

LOVE this one!

And that hat was the most perfect addition!

Volleyball playing-Queen-Homecoming Queen-2013-CHS-Senior! And also there is the spirit stick:)

And here is a few from part 2 of her session...

Love that scarf!

Jessie decided to get in on the action too! You'll see more of him in Caleb's blog:)

And a ring shot...

Whew! Hope I didn't bombard you with too many photos! Thanks Chloe for booking us for your senior session! And thanks to Mama Stephanie and Sister Shelby for assisting! We used every ounce of light we had!!
