My little model

My son is a great kid. He still kisses me in public. He doesn't shy away from holding my hand. He tells everyone who will listen that I am 21. The best part about him is he doesn't run away when I aim my camera toward him. I decided he needed his own photo shoot. He was only too willing to pose for me. Here are some of his shots.

Welcome baby Aria

I  am so happy to welcome baby Aria. Her parents, family, and friends have waited and prayed for her for a long time. She made her appearance several states away. It didn't matter how far away she was, they were ready to hop on the plane and go meet her. While they were gone, family and friends worked like crazy to get her new home ready for her. After several agonizing weeks the new family was finally able to come home. 

They were excited to see their fur babies and introduce Aria to her new home. We were all excited for the new family to see Aria's new room. 

Aria has no idea the amount of love surrounding her. She will grow up knowing that she is wanted and loved to the moon and back.

Boy? Girl?... Definitely A BOY

When I first met Leslie she was 16. She and her twin sister quickly grabbed my heart. I watched her grow as a healthcare provider and as a person. I was so happy when Shannon stole her heart.  It was only 2 years ago that we all gathered in excruciating heat to witness and celebrate their marriage. Tuesday a large group of family and friends gathered again to answer a very important question. Are we getting a baby boy or baby girl to fall in love with? I looked around the crowd and could literally see and feel the love everyone has for this happy couple. There were people on Skype and speaker phone waiting to find out. Here are a few moments that we were able to capture.

Baby Jacob

Jacob was a sweet heart. His big sister came along for Jacob's shoot to tell me all about him. She is just a doll. I can tell how much of a helper she is for her mommy. He is a great little snuggle bug. I can't wait to give them their pictures so I can have the chance to snuggle with him again.

One Perfect Baby Boy

This gorgeous couple produced an even more gorgeous baby. Erin and Mike brought this bundle of love over for his first photo shoot. He snuggled right up and went to sleep. I could not have asked for a more compliant baby. Cole was certainly ready for his close up. Here are a few pictures from our time together.

An incredibly Beautiful Wedding

I had the pleasure of photographing a beautiful wedding on a perfect spring day. I had an awesome team of photographers. Erin Harvey (Red Barn Photography) and Shuan Lacy were fantastic. We worked very well together to capture the fun and the love as these two families became one. We had some down time before the ceremony started. This seemed like the best time for a quick game of catch with the guys on the Drill Field in front of the Chapel on the beautiful Virginia Tech campus. The girls, however, hammed it up at the gorgeous Inn at Virginia Tech.

After the ceremony we enjoyed watching the newlyweds spend time together. I would love to know what Lars whispered in Anna's ear to make her laugh. Well... maybe I shouldn't know!

The details can speak volumes. We loved the rings this couple chose to seal their bond.

 Last, but certainly not least, the bridal party. Anna's brother appeared very honored to walk her down the aisle to give her away. The closeness amongst the party was clear in the smiles, giggles, and hugs.

Thank you Lars and Anna for allowing us to be apart of your very special day.

It's time to celebrate that special dad!
