Fall and Love Are In the Air!

Today was the first shoot that actually felt like fall. Light jackets were necessary and the colors were so vibrant it made for some pretty spectacular photos. Cortney and Brian's engagement photos were taken at two wineries near Delaplane, VA. I always love doing shoots at wineries as I can combine two passions, wine with photos! :)

 I caught them in a natural moment, but it turned out so cute!

 This was up there as one of my favorites from the day. This woman next to us had a fantastic purse that totally made the shot, I'm thankful she let us borrow it!

 Brian and Cort are fairly competitive people so I thought staging an arm wrestling match would make for a cute photo!

 On her tippy toes! :)

 They staged this one themselves and it turned out pretty darn cute.

 I always love the way these shoots look.

 This is what I mean by the color was incredible, I'm so happy we could capture the color in this shot.

 This one was up there as another one of my favorites from the day, so romantic and cute.

One last "family" photo as the sun set on a perfect day.

It was a complete pleasure to do a shoot with these two today, and I very much look forward to their destination wedding in April! Cheers!

One last Burst of Summer with Evangeline!

You wouldn't know it was Fall in Northern Virginia, as we took to Oatlands Plantation the temperature climbed to almost 80 degrees. Oatlands provided a great setting full of gardens, barns and fun things to explore. Evangeline and all her happiness made for a great day! Enjoy some of the photos from the day!

 Simply Beautiful!

 So into this flower, but what a pretty girl.

 She's looking with adoration at her beautiful Mama!

 She smiled at me and said "I wuv this pumpkin"

 Showing Mom how "happy" she is!

 We stopped at a little pond and it was warm enough to sink toes in the chilly water.

 This wins my gold star award for the day. My favorite shot!

 It wouldn't be a photoshoot w/out bunny would it?

She seemed happiest around water... my kinda girl!

Honestly I'm not sure who gets more enjoyment out of these photoshoots, my clients or me. I'm so lucky to be a part of everyone's special moments!

A trip to Newark, DE to see the Magee's provided me with the opportunity to do a photo shoot of this beautiful family. It was great to walk around University of Delaware and take in some of the great scenery that set the stage for their family photos. Enjoy!

 Such a pretty girl, even when she's so serious! :)

 Jamie was helping me set the shot, but this turned out being a pretty decent shot of him so I included it in the shoot.

 Owen is such a happy kid, I'm glad I could capture this in this photo.

It took a little effort but we finally got the PERFECT family shot!

 Lauren and Owen had some fun with cupcakes too!

All in all it was a great weekend. I'm gad I could incorporate a photo shoot into the weekend as well!

Evan James - 1 Week Infant Photos

My godson was the subject of my latest photo shoot. He sure is a cutie to work with, but of course I am a little biased. Enjoy these photos taken on September 14th, 2010. 

 Sound asleep and so beautiful!

 

 

 

 

There is a lot of love in this family!

 

 

 

 

 

A snuggly puppy to watch over Evan.

This shot was my favorite of our session.

Evan finally opened his eyes for us at the end of the shoot!
