Bridal Boudoir
In September i hosted my first hotel boudoir shoot. I invited all my future brides and other clients and friends. I filled all 8 appointments, and had two "models" come in for my portfolio work- those will be posted soon. This gorgeous blonde is not a model, although she can be, I'll be photographing her engagement photos next week and her wedding next May
All these photos have been ok'd by both Christina and her fiance.

Laura & TJ -- Married!!
I was especially looking forward to this wedding. Could be because I've had to wait the longest for it to get here. Laura's mother Diane contacted me back in February about doing her daughter's wedding. They hired me long before I had a wedding portfolio to speak of. I'd only done the weddings with Dee and 2 very small weddings on my own, so I wanted to do my very best for them as they because they had faith in my abilities.
These groomsmen win best dressed for 2008!!! I loved the even number--it was six of them, that made all my pictures so well balanced
Laura picked beautiful bridemaids dresses, brown was the big color in 2008.
this was taken during their engagement session on a chilly evening in March
I wasn't sure how I had them posed in March but this was close - and even better since it has the lighthouse back there.
gorgeous flowers
tasty cake - baked by I think it was TJ's aunt, if not aunt, then a cousin. Beautiful & Delish!
A special thank you to my second shooter Rebecca Franklin.

Williams family
Here are CJ, Katie and Trey - Katie is Steve's sister. I did Steve's engagement session back in February. This was a gift to them from Steve - I appreciate that kind of thoughtfulness :) I was looking back at the engagement post and I realized I took more time to try to give some of the post process information - I've been keeping so busy this summer I haven't really had time to do that much, but I'm going to try to get back to that, I promise
With family portraits, I do all the traditional portraits like this one.
and then I do something a little less traditional - just for fun. That 70's feel is a cross processing kinda thing called pool party in the totally rad actions set.

Miller Family
I've only had a handful of people find me on craigslist, and Jenny is one of them. I'm reminded I should put my ad on there more often. Thank you Jenny for choosing me for your family portraits. I drove out to Oceanview for this session, I've pretty much done ever beach around, but this was my first in Norfolk.
Zach was a great sport and I couldn't have asked for a better 4 year old to photograph.
Drew was so good the entire time, he fussed twice but only briefly, otherwise he was fascinated by my camera and so adorable.
I did not enhance or alter the colors of this picture at all, it really was this beautiful. So beautiful it looks fake - it's not fake I promise

Meet Carlisle
Brandon was back at my side as we hit Norfolk's Waterside for Carlie's senior shoot. It was a very grey day out - perfect for a portrait session!
here she is posing for Brandon
I can't even begin to express how much I love this photo - in fact it will have to go into my portfolio in a minute.

Meet Emily
Emily took a little bit to warm up to me, I guess that's normal since I was a complete stranger to her, but once she got to feeling comfortable - OMG!!! - we had so much fun, and her images are super happy.
I am so glad I got to see the true Emily - she would fit in so well in my house -- quirky just like at La Casa Grant
Did I mention how stunning she is? Wow, pretty hard to take a bad picture of her.
all her pictures are in the High School Seniors section on my website, be sure to watch her video - you'll find yourself smiling --I know I did.
