Lindsey, Josie & Cole

This past Wednesday Lindsey, Josie, Cole and I (along w/my own two) headed out to Rope Mill Park where we played and of course take a few family photos. I met Lindsey and her family not too long ago through our church and since then we've gotten to be good friends. It was just a matter of time that we started planning play dates since both of our children were the same age. This was a great shoot because not only did I get to take photographs of good friends but we also found a little budding model. Josie was a blast to work with and was really working the camera, it was like a totally different person once the camera started clicking. Cole was great cause he was animated and truly challenge us but he did a great job. Lindsey on the other hand was a little shy. Here are a few favorites from our day out at the park.

Life Long Friends

Michele & Robert's wedding took place at the United Faith Christian Ministry in Stafford, VA. I've been excited about this wedding because I've known Robert for several years and after meeting Michele I knew they were just perfect for each other. I met Michele several months ago for their engagement photos and the moment I met her I knew we would hit it off. She and Robert seem to be life long friends and they definitely knew how to play off each other.

The wedding preparation started off early for Michele with hair and make-up with her bridal party. After spending a few minutes with Michele, I headed to Robert's room for his photos. Surprisingly enough, these two were so calm and relaxed. The ceremony took place at the United Faith Christian Ministry Church where family and friends from near and afar traveled to join in their celebration. After the ceremony, we headed out to the Cannon Ridge Golf Club where the party started. Thank you Michele and Robert for such a wonderful weekend. I had a great time getting to know your family, meeting up with old friends and making new ones.

Tom, Kristie, Megan, Trenton, Reagan & Marci

Today I had the pleasure of photographing Tom, Kristie, Megan, Trenton, Reagan and Marci for a family portrait. As I always say to anyone that has more than 2 kids, "More power to you!" Tom & Kristie are amazing parents who have 4 wonderful kids who truly are a joy. Our little adventure started on their front porch, which was a great spot to just let the kids be themselves. Then we headed out to the Wyngate ClubHouse to get some fall colors into the picture. This is where the kids, including Tom, really lets themselves loose! And this is where I really laughed the most. Thanks guys for sharing some great moments with me!
