Maternity Shoot

This shoot was particularly special because it turned into an engagement shoot half way through :) Josh proposed to Amelia during the session, which I had known about previously and helped facilitate! It was very romantic :)

We did one session on the beach, and one at a local park with Adrian, Amelia's three year old son.

Enjoy!

A Birthday Present I Made

My boyfriend's little sister loves dragonflies. I decided to make her a jewelry-type box for her birthday! I had a lot of fun with it. Her favorite colors are dark blue and lime green together. So I painted the box a base color of lime green and wrote her name in cursive with a black paint pen, which was MUCH easier than using a paintbrush. I did some scroll designs too with it, as well as the outline for the winged heart on the very back.

So anyway, thought I might show and tell. Enjoy!

I'm a professional....

This past Tuesday I photographed the Mid-Atlantic Convenience Stores open house/ribbon cutting ceremony in Richmond, VA. They are the largest Exxon Mobil fuel distributor in the U.S. The mayor of Richmond, Dwight Jones was there, as well as Bob Ukrop if you all have heard of him!

So far my photo has been on the NACS website,

and the Virginia Business website.
I'm so grateful for this opportunity. I know the pictures aren't the most impressive, but it's the sheer fact that I was working and being paid as a professional photographer for a big company that made me so, so proud. I hope you all enjoy! I just had to share :)

Oceana

Well, now I live right by the NAS Oceana air base, which provides for some great photo opps. More to come...

Roanoke Valley Home Magazine shoot

And here it is! My first "Showcase Home" for the Roanoke Valley Home Magazine. I photographed the interior of a gorgeous, three story home for the publication. Here's a glimpse of the shoot, that won't run until this coming winter of 2o11 unfortunately :-/

First Wedding done solo

Selena and Brett were married November 13th, and allowed me to photograph their wedding. They took a chance on me, since I've never actually done a whole wedding by myself. But I think it turned out fabulously!! The two below were my favorites.
