Somerset Steelers {Yorktown, VA Photographer}

I love themed sessions!  They're fun, light-hearted, and my clients really enjoy themselves.  This one was no exception!

Melissa's Trash the Dress {Hampton Roads Photographer}

People have varying opinions about Trash the Dress sessions.  Some think, "Oh but it's such a pretty dress!" while others say, "I'll never wear it again & it's already dirty from the reception."

Melissa had another perspective entirely.  Her marriage is over, and she is now healing.  It's not what she dreamed of when she was a little kid, but sometimes you have to roll with what life gives you and come out a better & stronger person on the other side.  And that's exactly what she has done.

I think anyone that knows her would agree she is a strong person & trashing her dress is just another step in moving on.

From a photographer's perspective it was a dream come true!  I mean, how many people actually want to ruin their dress during one of these sessions?  How many dare to bring up the word fire?  She did!  The only problem?  She's lost weight & no longer fits in her wedding dress (did I mention she also has 2 kids?).  But that was okay, because we couldn't really burn it with her wearing it anyway, right?  Here is a sneak peek at the results!

FYI: Wedding dresses burn quick.

Rylie at One Year {Newport News Photographer}

This weekend I was in North Carolina for one of my best friend's wedding & snuck in a quick session with Miss Rylie!  She's a year old now, and way too interested in the world around her to smile for a camera.

But boy does she love playing with some flowers!

She may not have smiled much, but she sure did insist that her daddy smiled!

During pretty much every session involving a child, there is a time like this.  For all of the parents out there, don't worry about it because it will happen!  :)  How else would we get adorable shots like this?

And of course, the aftermath of the session:

Piano Man {Greenville, SC Photographer}

So we didn't drag a piano out in the street, but it is his main instrument.  A guitar worked quite nicely, though, and is one of his favorites in his music collection.  We also found some awesome new locations for downtown Greenville!

Greene Family {Western North Carolina Family Photographer}

One thing about on-site photography is that you can't control all the conditions.  I love the challenge, and the advantage of natural light, though, and I feel like it forces me to become a better photographer overall.

But the summer?  Summer is tough.  Lots of natural light, but say you have... oh... a fire truck.  Hard to park that under a tree.  This shoot was done in an open field on what had to have been the hottest day all summer in this area.  But with a very patient family, and a photographer who doesn't mind to get dirty (literally), we wound up with some great shots!

Here is gorgeous mommy!

And daddy...  has to be the coolest thing for a little boy to have a dad who is a firefighter!

Then we have sweet C.  What a handsome fellow!

And the whole family!

I have so much respect for men and women who constantly put their life on the line for our safety.  Whether it's fire fighter, police, military, and many other positions, I appreciate the men and women and their families!  Thank you!

Ahh... one last picture of a gorgeous mama!
