Family Photos in the Park

I know this is my own family, but I enjoyed taking some photos of my husband and little girl this weekend. I think they are quite precious!

Kim and Doug

June 28, 2008

Kim and Doug were married this past weekend at the Inn at Vent Hill in Warrenton, VA. They were wonderful to take pictures for. My husband and I, who always work together at these types of events, really enjoyed spending time with the couple taking their photos just after the ceremony. The Inn offered a lot of ambient lighting as well for afterwards when the reception started. We hope to do business with them again soon!

Miller and Whitney Family Photos

I took pictures for the Millers and Whitneys this week. The two families are cousins who come to spend every summer together in Virginia. We had a lot of fun taking group and individual photos of the kids towards the end of the day. The sun was low in the sky and we were able to get some wonderful shots in my opinion. I love doing family photos, and I appreciate the opportunity I had to take pictures of these guys... all eleven of them:)

This is Lacy, one of the youngest of the bunch. I loved these photos I got of her. Children are such fun subjects.

This is the entire Whitney family, minus their dad who was not yet in town. We figured we'd photoshop him in at some later point.

This is the entire Miller family, minus their dad. He was also gone on business, but in Singapore. So it would have been a bit difficult getting him in. I don't have a wide angle lens big enough to stretch to the opposite end of the earth.

The Millers and Whitneys made great subjects. I hope they treasure these pictures and the memories of summers in Virginia for many years to come.

Gotta love Spring!

I absolutely LOVE this time of year. I woke up this morning and before doing anything else felt compelled to take some shots just outside my front door. These photos, in my opinion, are a testament to why Virginia is for Lovers! There's nothing more breathtaking than some of our beautiful Spring time blossoms, especially in the early morning as the light is hitting them just the right way.

This was somewhat impromptu, but I was privileged to be able to shoot a few photos for Chris and Melissa on their wedding day. All in all I thought the images were pretty nice considering I am still lacking some of the equipment I would like and these were taken when the sun was at it's harshest. The most important thing is that Chris and Melissa enjoy them. These two kids mean a lot to me, and I know they will be very happy together! Thanks for letting me share in the joy of your day!
