Sneak Peeks - The Original Family

This is the original family. I've had 5 sessions with them and have seen their kids go from newborns to toddlers. They're such an awesome little family and I'll see them again in a few weeks for some Christmas pics with their cousin.

Sneak Peeks - Awesome Little Family!

Sneak Peeks from today's photo shoot with an awesome little family. One thing I've learned in working with little one's, there's no art direction to be had:) You can think of all the great photos to set up in the world, but ultimately, the baby is art directing:) You go with the flow. And that's all there is to it. And really, isn't that all you can do with everything in life?

Some Scenes from Staunton, VA

I spent the weekend with my BFFs in Staunton, Va. It's a cool, little town, taking you back about 40 years. Maybe more. Here's a few shots from our little walk about town. The first one, while not interesting from a composition standpoint, is interesting in the fact that I stood in the middle of the main drag to get the shot. No cars. It was Sunday morning about 9am but I can't remember the last time I could stand in any road and there weren't any cars.























It was also interesting the there were businesses that were closed on Sundays. A coffee shop and an organic market. I remember when businesses were closed in Northern Va on Sundays when I was kid ... 40 years ago!














































Something about dying flowers.

Sunset

I keep sneaking those lame sunflowers in:) This is the sunset from our deck.

Rising Sun

The rising sun behind the sunflower.

Sneak Peeks - Kara & JP's Wedding

A few sneak peeks from a great wedding and reception yesterday. The bride is best friends with the matron of honor whose wedding I shot a few weeks ago. Knowing how sweet and fun they were, I knew this was going to be great time. There wasn't one person there who didn't have an absolutely great time.

I was fortunate enough to have two assistants for the day. It was great to have the help and the different perspective. It gave the entire event a feeling of greater depth. Shots from them coming soon.

























































































































We took a few shots in the hotel lobby.





























































Do you think these people were having a good time?






































This dude told me he liked to tear up the dance floor and to be ready with the camera:)
