Stephanie & Matthew E-pics

Today Kristin and I met with Stephanie and Matthew for their engagement session in Old Town Manassas.  We lucked out with beautiful weather and used it to our advantage.  Their shoot turned out to be adventurous at times and they were good sports!  Their Love was apparent through their whispers and smiles, we look forward to celebrating with you in November!

Here is their sneak peek…

Busy Weekend…

I had a whirlwind weekend with a fun array of photo shoots.

A couple in love and dreaming of their destination wedding next year,  a newborn that just came home from the hospital and his happy parents, a wonderful family, and a gorgeous young wife wanting to give her husband a gift of pictures.  Here is a quick sneak peek, more to come as I get to the editing.

Kelli and David–Engagement Session

After many weeks of bad weather and schedule conflicts I was Finally able to get together with Kelli and David for their engagement session.  We met at an old house that I have been wanting to shoot at for a couple years now; with Kelli’s Dad’s old truck “old n blue” it was a perfect combination for this shoot.

Amanda and Dan – Old Town Alexandria

Old Town Alexandria is the location Amanda and Dan chose for their engagement session.  I love Old Town, it offers so many options; mixing  historic cobble stone streets  and parks just blocks away from new modern buildings and sculptures.

Lauren and Chris – E-Pics

Wednesday evening I met with Lauren and Chris in the town of Occoquan for their engagement pictures.  It was a warm, beautiful evening and we had a good time exploring some of Occoquan’s old buildings and alleyways.  As we were walking around we met a cat that seemed to take an interest in what we were doing and kept trying to get in the pictures; Chris called him Buttercup.  Congratulations Lauren and Chris!!

Grandma’s Dresses!!

Heather wanted some pictures in her Grandmother’s wedding dress.  So it got me thinking and we pulled together a bunch of vintage items.  Heather and Kristin’s shoes + Mom’s earrings + Grandma’s dresses, gloves and purses + Great-Grandmas necklaces, bracelets and pocket watch + Great-Great Grandmas blanket = a GREAT afternoon and 5 generations represented in 1 photo!
