I haven’t had time to post much here lately, but I’ve been enjoying lots of horse shoots and lots of sunflower shoots this summer! If you missed out on sunflowers, by the way,, just shoot me your email address and I’ll be sure to send you sunflower booking dates for 2021 as soon as I have those set up. I’ve also created some new blocks of fall mini-sessions specials to accommodate everyone who might be looking for Christmas card photos—check those out on my offerings page.
Family photos at the beach!
I love it when clients ask me to help them make their vision come true—this family had hoped for pink skies and beach photos, and that’s what we got! It was a nice chance for me to get out and explore a bit, too.
Sunflower sessions!
Sunflowers summer 2020 are a wrap! I shot these during the Alvis Farms 2nd Annual Sunflower Festival in Manakin (a few minutes outside of short pump). The sunflowers were spectacular, the field was huge, and the sunset was great the night I was out there! Looking forward to more—if you’re interested, contact me to ask about some later-summer options at additional farm location or catching me during next year’s summer special at Alvis Farms :)
Fall and Winter Wrapup - thank you, everyone!
I am long overdue for a blog post on my site, but after entering a very busy season, I prioritized getting galleries delivered and am finally catching up on sharing some of my work with the rest of you now that shooting has wound down a bit over the holidays! 2019 was a great year and I am thankful once again for all the clients and friends who have supported me and helped me continue to build business. Here are just a couple images from throughout the fall and winter to show you what I’ve been up to—head to my facebook page to see many more updates and sneak peeks, as I post sessions more frequently there as well! I’ve also updated my offerings for 2020, and I’ve added a new package for those seeking black background images and wall art of their horses. Happy new year, friends!
Little Red Wagon One-Year Session
Waylon is turning one! The last time I saw him, we shot his six-month photos. It has been neat to watch all these little babies growing up so fast!
2018 Fall and Winter Family Photo Catch-Up...and More Ponies!
Fall is usually a busy season, but this one was certainly the biggest I’ve ever had. Here’s a little bit of what I was up to with my “regular” portrait work, and since there were plenty of horse sessions this fall, those are in here too! Keep up with my work on Facebook.
C's 6 Month Shoot
This one is short and sweet—check out this awesome little dude!
D + K Pregnancy Announcement and Newborn Portraits
This couple came to me last fall for pregnancy announcement photos for their rainbow baby, and I'm finally sharing because some congratulations are in order-see the "before" album here and see more "after" newborn and family portraits here.
Family of Four February Portraits
I photographed this family when they were three last fall, so it was really wonderful to get the opportunity to photograph them as a group of four this time on a bright winter day :) See more sneaks of their Midlothian family portrait session.
Winter Family Session
It was a cold day, but I enjoyed meeting this lovely family for some winter portraits in Chesterfield at Midlothian Mines Park! See more of their gallery here.
Family Equine Portraits
I enjoyed working with this lovely, kind family for our evening horse and family photo session out at Zephyrs Way Stable in Powhatan.
Fall Family of Three Portraits at Pocahontas State Park
I shot a fall family photo session for some lovely friends the other day at Pocahontas Park. We are finally getting some yellow in these trees!
Double Maternity+Family Portrait Session
If one maternity session is good, two is better! These two families are so sweet and they are looking forward to introducing new cousins this fall. We shot these at a neat little venue near Petersburg called Scents of Cedar Bed and Breakfast-check it if you need an event spot! Check out more from the session here.
Families and Seniors
I've been busy doing more family sessions lately, especially now that fall is approaching! We've found some great spots in a few locations--Midlothian Mines and Totopotomoy have both had wonderful background scenery, among other places.
Family Horse Farm Session
I love it when families and couples bring their horses and pets to their sessions, so I especially enjoyed shooting this group at a beautiful setting in Powhatan. The animals were troopers on a very hot day! See more here.
Sunsets and Sun Dresses
I am always a bit nervous picking times for evening sessions since our weather has been all over the place this month, but golden hour worked out perfectly for us this weekend. It helps when you have great models, too!
More Kids, More Ponies
It's hard to get a bad photo when you're shooting kids with their ponies. These guys were all a lot of fun. Spot the outfit that the kid picked out for herself and her pony :)
Friends and a New Baby
My friends Jennifer and Mike just had their second baby, and they were kind enough to have me over for a newborn lifestyle session.
Newborn Family Session
I enjoyed spending time with this lovely new family of four!
