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!!

Doss Family Session | Chatham, Virginia Photographer

We had a lot of fun with Doss Family last weekend! {Yes I am behind on blogging!} These two kids, Lathan and Sophie, were so bubbly and their smiles are just priceless! They really are...it's seriously difficult to get them both to smile at the same time! Hahaha! Anyways, Amanda contacted me for a Fall family portrait...and I'd say these are all keepers:)

One of my favorites!

Of course, a little Mommy & Daddy alone time;)

This pose only took 1 shot! Way to go Lathan and Sophie!

ADORABLE!

A little black and white:)

Such a great family...be sure to leave them some love below! Thanks Amanda for choosing me to do your family photos!

Logan | 2013 Altavista Senior | Altavista, Virginia Photographer

Logan is a 2013 Senior from Altavista...another beautiful Senior to add to our list! Logan plays softball for the Colonels, is yearbook editor, and is involved with many other school clubs! She has absolutely amazingly gorgeous RED hair! I am so jealous! And those EYES! We started off her session at Altavista High...then finished up at a local park:) Here are a few favorites from her session!

Logan requested this shot...I think I like it;)

She had other ideas too! Like glitter!

...and sidewalk chalk!

LOVE this dress.

FAVE shot from the whole session! LOVE LOVE LOVE!

See what I mean about those eyes?!

This jacket was pretty awesome too:)

Logan made these signs just so we could do this series! So fun!

Allie | 6 months old! | Gretna, Virginia Photographer

I can't believe Allie is 6 months old already! She has been coming to us since she was born...so precious. We got together the other evening for her session...Kim, her lovely Mom, got in on some of the action too:) Check out how big she is getting!

So full of laughter!

Another quilt shot...we did one at 3 months:)

Sitting up!

A side by side: at 3 months and now at 6 months!

Love this one of Allie with her great grandparents!

Tutu time! So cute:)

TOES!

I love this one too:) Such a special bond!

Thanks for letting us do Allie's 6 month photos, Kim! We hope you love them!

Carrie & Kattie | Sister Session | Altavista, VA Photographer

Remember Kattie's Senior Session? Well she contacted me shortly after it to schedule a fall sister session! Of course I was happy to photograph her again:) And it was so nice to meet her sister, Carrie! These two sisters were a lot of fun...and showed me some beautiful countryside! We headed up to their farm by Leesville Lake, as well as an old country store.

Here are a few peeks at their session from yesterday evening:

The ladies with Pa's tractor:)

I absolutely LOVE this one...

Both ladies play basketball...

Carrie plays college ball for Hollins University, and Kattie plays for Gretna High as well as a travel team, Piedmont Pride!

We finished up their session lakeside...or should I say IN the lake!

Told ya they were tons of fun! So brave to get into that cold water! And then to jump up and down in it!

This photo is priceless!

Thanks ladies for contacting me for your sister session! I hope that you and your family love your photos:)

Makayla | 2013 Gretna Senior | Gretna, Virginia Photographer

Makayla is yet another GORGEOUS senior that we have had the honor of photographing! And not only that, she has the BEST personality! So fun! Makayla was so excited about her session, and it definitely showed when we met up:) There is nothing a photographer likes more than an enthusiastic client! Makayla rocked each and every pose...to a tee. I told her she needs to get involved with pageants because she could totally go all the way!

Here are a few of my favorites from Makayla's session, so far:)

Look at those eyes!

And her smile is infectious:)

I think this is one of my top faves...

Cassidy | 2013 Gretna Senior | Gretna, Virginia Photographer

Cassidy...can I just say 1 word? GORGEOUS!  She was so excited when she contacted us to do her session, so we were a little bummed when her original session date was a rainy day. BUT...these photos were SO WORTH THE WAIT! I am having a pity party over here, wishing that my senior photos could have been done in outfits like hers (that she totally styled) and in locations like this! Cassidy was so much fun too...and totally up for anything we asked her to do! I am almost done with her session, so here are a few [several] favorites!

MUA: Katie Mosher at Genesis Day Spa in Danville, VA

^ Necklace by Beverly of Sordid Soiree ^

LOVE her eyes...

2013 Senior! Cassidy is holding one of the frames that I sell:) You can check out more about those here!

GORGEOUS...

She has the most beautiful hair and smile! These keyhole earrings are by Sordid Soiree! I LOVE LOVE LOVE them!!!

Look at that sass! Another necklace here by Sordid Soiree...

A little black and white:)

This field was perfect!

More necklaces below by Sordid Soiree!

HER. FACE. IS. PERFECT.

Thanks so much, Cassidy, for booking with us for your Senior photos! We hope you love them:)

2013 Senior? It's still not too late! Book your session with us today!

Hannah & Zach | Engaged | Chatham, Virginia Photographer

Remember one of my recent seniors, the lovely Hannah? Well she's engaged! I couldn't have been more thrilled to be asked to do their engagement photos! I met Zach and can say that I approve:) Hehe, like my opinion matters! Ha! Anyways, yall just won't believe how in sync these 2 are...it was crazy how one knew what the other would say or do or how I would pose one and the other just fell right on into place! Zach and Hannah met through church. Zach serves the U.S. Army and is learning how to fly helicopters! He is currently stationed in Alabama...quite a ways from his love! Their wedding is scheduled for November 2013...

Here are a few of my favorites from their session so far...I'm not quite finished:)

Aren't they cute?!

LOVE the chalk board frame! I used one of the frames that I sell throughout this session. You can learn more about those here!

LOVE the sun here...and her smile!

And of course we had to tie in pumpkins! Happy Fall Yall!

I told them that they would cherish this photo more when they were old and on their own porch in rockers;)

I can't imagine living anywhere but in the south...the light is so much warmer here!

Sigh. LOVE the emotion this one releases...

And of course I had to snap one of the ring! This gorgeous ring was designed by Zach himself:)

Such a sweet couple! Thanks Hannah & Zach for having us do your engagement photos! I hope you love them:)

Baby Noah | 10 Days New | Newborn Session | Gretna, Virginia Photographer

Remember Baby Noah from the birth session? You may also recall seeing his Mommy and Daddy's (Jess and Jonathan) maternity session! He came to see us for his newborn photos a few days ago...along with his beautiful Mommy:) He is so precious! It's almost hard to remember my Kolton being that size, since it doesn't last long at all! We started off indoors with a few of Noah and Mommy...

His hair is perfect...and oh, those lips...

Noah with his sock monkeys:)

And being a book worm:) He already has some amazing books! (You hear that? That's the teacher coming out of me:) His Mommy is a teacher too!)

Precious details...

I think it's safe to say he's hungry here:)

And you know me...if it's warm enough, we're going outside! These are my absolute favorites:)

You can't deny how adorable he is!
