This sweet family really touched my heart. I'd met the mom & daughter when I first moved to Virginia, but the dad has been deployed the whole time I've lived here. They're a family of such love, it was great to see them altogether, even if it was only for a few days. I'm glad we had time to capture these memories!

King Wedding {Hampton Roads Wedding Photographer}
In my quest to update my blog with the sessions I missed from this year, I must tackle the daunting task of blogging about a wedding. Weddings are really, really hard to blog about because they can easily include a kajillion pictures & stories to match!
I have to say, this was the most fun wedding I've ever done. I've known Kristen and her family for years, and I've gotten to know Dustin & he's a pretty great guy. The wedding was very well planned & organized, but Kristen was very calm the day of the wedding! My favorite comment from the day was when her mom was taking pictures of the girls getting ready & said, "Oh wait, Susan's here... I don't need to take pictures!"
That's what it's all about-- I'm there to take pictures so that others don't have to. I loved that they felt relaxed & comfortable & trusted me to capture their day in its entirety. Also? They were able to truly be present at the wedding & soak up every wonderful moment of it, rather than seeing it through a camera lens!
Ahem... I love a good ring shot... and I had a little time to play around with theirs, so brace yourself for several!
Ready for a pullback shot? Here's what I looked like while taking the picture above:
Normally I'd lay flat on my stomach, but I was pregnant during this wedding, so laying on my stomach wasn't comfortable anymore!

I'm back + Catching up + Dillon's Senior Pictures
Erm... shuffles feet. So I've been slacking in the blog department.
Truthfully, I was planning an entire blog redesign. Then I switched everything over to Wordpress. My plan to was unveil this awesome new blog... but truthfully, I hated Wordpress. So I'm back here at Blogger & I'll play a long game of catch-up!
I *only* have 26 sessions to catch up... no biggie, right? So some of them may be just pictures, and I'll probably combine a few as well... just stay tuned!
Here's a start... a senior session I did earlier this summer!
