The "Z" Family

This almost makes me want to have another baby! :)  Here is a small slideshow of The Z Family photos.  (This video is best viewed as it's original size as the resolution is very low.)

Baby "M": 15 Days {Stephens City, Virginia Newborn Photographer}

The first part of this session had me worried as this perfect little princess rested one eye at a time. She knew something was about to happen to her and she was not letting her guard down. Once she got to know me well enough, she drifted off to sleep and we didn't hear a peep out of her until almost two hours later. I couldn't have asked for any more out of her. Mom and I had a nice time chatting and getting to know one another. I'm looking forward to taking some famiy photos and working with this family again.

The Neese's {Winchester, Virginia Family Photographer}

From the moment my sister-in-law asked me to photograph her family I envisioned the scene.  Vintage would be the theme, her heirloom sofa was a must and it was going to be magical.  Sunday when we met at "the farm" in Jerome, we had the sofa, we had lots of vintage and we had tons of magic.  Seriously.  The fog that came rolling in halfway through our session....magic!  :)  Here is a tiny sliver of what was captured in the short time we spent together.  Enjoy!

Class of 2012: Brooke {Woodstock, Virginia Senior Photographer}

We decided to go ahead with this evening's session even though it was calling for thunderstorms.  So glad that we did, it turned out to be a beautiful (humid) evening!  The sky was so blue and pretty.  Here is a small preview...

Reagan: 10 Weeks {New Market, Virginia Newborn Photographer}

I was so excited when my husband's cousin, Julie asked me to photograph her beautiful new baby, Reagan.  I was a little nervous in preparing for this session because she is just outside of the typical newborn session window.  Are you kidding me?  This little princess was a piece of cake to photograph.  Of course, I had some help from mom and grandma but really, she was an angel!  I can't wait for her family to see the rest of her fantastic pictures! 

Senior Night 2012

It was a bittersweet night, Friday night.  The class of 2012 seniors were announced down on the field as they escorted their parents to the center.  When I heard "Sean Semones" I had to fight back the tears.  This is the beginning of the end for him and it's so hard to believe.  I can still remember taking him to flag football practice when he was 5.  Time flies, it's true.

 On a much more exciting note, Sean had 3 of the 5 touchdowns that game!

Here are some photos of a few of the seniors from Friday night.

Little Lucy: 1 Week {Harrisonburg, Virginia Newborn Photographer}

Last week I traveled to Harrisonburg to meet this perfect baby girl.  The first few minutes of the session were fantastic...after that, mom and I had to work hard to get the rest of our shots.  It was worth the fight, I came away with lots of great photos of one-week-old Lucy.
