Classic Beauty || Blacksburg Virginia Baby Photography

I got to have coffee with this beauty’s mom this week — and we played a little with my camera too!  And in one of the images we took, sweet Miss A looks like a perfect little classic beauty in a painting.  She takes my breath away when i see her.  And again when i see her images.  And oh boy do i have more of her… but i wanted this one to stand alone.  Gah.

Happy Thursday everyone!

Expressions || Blacksburg Baby Portaits

So, there is tons of research that shows parents are drawn to smiling pictures of their children.  It makes us feel all fabulous on the inside to see our children happy.

But i wasn’t included in that research study.  Because while i do love a smiling image of my kids, its the expressions that fascinate me.  Its intensity that i want to stare at.  Or vulnerability.  Or Silliness.

And well, i did a very quick mini session with Mr. S.  And, well, he gave me the kinds of images i can stare at for days.  Thanks to his mom for the invite to spend time with them… and i hope she loves the expressions as much as i do!!

and he gave me lots of smiles too!have a happy monday everyone!

Beautiful Boy in a Beautiful Space || Blacksburg Virginia Photography

I had the opportunity to work with a sweet little family at one of the prettiest Inn’s I’ve seen in a long time.  Our session took place at the Inn at Riverbend Bed and Breakfast in Pearisburg, VA, and its simply breathtaking and warm.  The Inn keeper and owner were wonderful — tending to business as usual, office tasks, making sure everyone was happy and comfortable, tying flies, and loving on their resident pups, Reese and Jackson….

The Inn  is really a special place, and you should take the time to check it out!  I’ll leave the outdoor photography to their website as it was snowy and miserable outside when we were there (though, i’ll say, the views in the snow were breathtaking!) — but look at how lovely it is inside!

And the little man i had the opportunity to photograph there is a crack up!  Mr. R was so smiley and silly and we had a blast at his one year old session.  Happy first birthday Mr. R!

and finally — i’m working on some VERY cool things…. and i cannot WAIT to share them with you guys… so look for fun things to come for LBH Photography soon… i’m busting i want to share so bad…  but i don’t want to Jinx myself!!! ;)  Stay warm… and pray for school tomorrow.  please.  even if you don’t care.  even if school doesn’t effect you.  please?  for me?  lol…

2010… HERE I COME! || Blacksburg Virginia Photography

I’m ready for 2010.  I did it.  I’m really really ready.

Well, I know.   2010 actually arrived 39 days ago.   I mean, i could be further behind.  Well, not by much, lol….

So, if you are interested in scheduling a session — shoot me an email and we’ll get you on the books!  And for all you planners — i have very limited sessions available during the summer  holidays, so if you want a summer session, book early!  You can contact me by clicking “contact” in the above in the menu, or shoot me an email directly at lara@lbhphotography.net .

And i’d like to give back through my business a bit and try to continue the aid efforts in Haiti.  So for all 2010 Sessions booked through the end of February 2010 (including all those that have booked and paid  to date), i’ll be donating 25% of the session fee to Partners in Health through a local movement called Change for Haiti.   I know we are all doing what we can -  i hope that together we can raise a bit of money to help those so desperately in need…

No pictures with this post -  i have a peek coming soon of a fabulous little man from last week.  I’m not only behind in my scheduling, but my life and work in general with all the school closings!!!

Stay warm everyone!

Happy Birthday Miss A || Blacksburg Family Photography

Holy wow.  This kiddo is gorgeous.  I mean, she started out gorgeous.  See for yourself here.   There’s also an image of she and her daddie in the images scrolling above.  And she’s just days away from turning One — Happy Birthday Miss A!

And if you knew her parents, it wouldn’t surprise you that they have a wonderful beautiful daughter.  Wouldn’t surprise you one little bit.  They all make me smile.  And somehow, we snuck in a session without snow.   Which, i will say, is QUITE an accomplishment this winter!!!

Hope everyone is staying warm!
