Samantha, Rachel & Emma {Sisters} | Culpeper, VA Photographer

I LOVE shooting at locations I’ve never been to. It’s a little scary, the unknown that is, but you can almost always find something cool and different at every location. In fact, it’s usually what drives my creativity. When Kyra suggested a location (5 miles from my home) the morning of her daughters session I had no time to drive by and check it out but I couldn’t wait to get there. I did manage to arrive about 15 minutes early and let me tell you, it was awesome! Thanks Kyra for the new photo opp location!:)

Even better than the location were Kyra’s 3 girls! Samantha, Rachel & Emma. OMGosh! They were awesome! Between the amazing lighting, Rachel looking at me like I was a nut & the growling turkey vulture’s I had the BEST time.  Everything about this session ROCKED!

Hmmmm…now I’m feelin’ kinda generous an guess what, it’s Mother’s Day on May 13.
If this blog post gets 10 comments within 10 days Kyra will get a FREE 8×10 print from me! Happy Mother’s Day Kyra!

The Jeffries {Family Session} | Rappahannock, VA Photographer

I met Doug, Sandy, Gavyn & their new puppy ‘Dosh’ at their home in Rappannock, VA last week.   Gavyn greeted me in the driveway with what I thought was a stuffed animal but then, the stuffed animal moved.  Seriously freaked me out for just a second. LoL Then I realized it was the cutest little puppy ever. Gavyn named him Dosh, which apparently means ‘money’ although Gavyn didn’t know that at the time. Pretty cool! Check out these adorable photos of Gavyn and Dosh….and more pics of the whole family.

Harry Potter + Superman + Paintball = Yvonne & Matt’s Engagement Session

I LOVE it when couples suggest a location for their engagement session! And when Yvonne and Matt suggested the Reston Used Book Store at Lake Anne Plaza I couldn’t have been more excited! Although I grew up just around the corner and would go with my Mom whenever possible to exchange books, I hadn’t been there in probably 15 years. What a delight to find that it was just as I remembered!:) Scroll down for more:

After reading a little Harry Potter & Superman we went for a little ride to the countryside (hey, I rhymed) LoL – btw, Did you guys buy those books or just read & run? Ha Ha

Wonder what they’re up to…

Uh oh…Not sure what they’re thinking but looks like a job for Superman…

One of my FAVORITE engagement sessions EVER! I seriously cannot WAIT until their wedding in May!

The McCartney’s {Family Session} | Culpeper, VA Photographer

I had such a fun evening with these cuties Layton & Grayson (two of my favorite baby names yet, btw). We picked some corn (shhhhh…. it was old and pretty icky anyway) and talked about making popcorn with it! LoL  The evening was beautiful, well except for when the sun dropped and it all of a sudden became freezing cold. Didn’t matter though, we got some great pics of the whole family and had a great time! Love the one of Melissa (Mom) sticking her tongue out at Dad. LoL Too Cute!

What an adorable family!

Evelyn, Katie & Trevor & Lisa {Family Session} | Culpeper, VA Photographer

When I drive I don’t just look at whats in front of me, I look at whats around me.  The mountains, the trees, the barns, deer running out in front of my car. I take pics with my iPhone as I go past at 55mph while also yelling at my kids to stop arguing with each other… Multi-tasking at it’s best! …err…uhh…and a little ADD. I’ve past this one particular barn many times and it’s probably on my iPhone somewhere but I’d have to go through over 1,000 pics to find it…LoL (Side Note; upload cellphone pics to Mac) Anyway, a couple weeks ago I get a call from Lisa to do a family/granddaughter 1st birthday shoot at her home. When she told me where she lived, I was so excited I just about jumped out of my chair!

And what a great family as well…  Evelyn was a doll. Absolutely Perfect! (and she reminded me of my niece who I don’t get to see very often)  Katie & Trevor were so friendly and welcoming and I literally could have sat down and talked Flea Markets with Lisa for hours… She totally gets the appeal of turning something old into something new and beautiful. Love it!
