Gah.  You know how sometimes you cannot decide.

I’m there.

I had a super fun session.

I wanted to share a few.

But i’m indecisive.  Horridly so.

I wanted to share this shot, just because *I* love it.

But then, i thought… no.  Show this shot, because it shows how beautiful Ms. K is….

LBH Photography High School Photographer

But then.  Well.  This might show you better who she is in many moments, lol…..

So.  Those are fine.  But i still feel indecisive.

So just watch this.  And then i don’t have to decide.

You can see them all! And there is music that plays with it (just a warning for all you guys at work who don’t want to get busted goofing off) ….

but it really is more fun WITH the music.

So grab your headphones if you need them.  Then hit play.

……………………………………………………….. ……………………………………………………….

Thank you 3 for making it fun… and hard to decide!  ;)  Full sized proofs are headed your way in a day or 2!

She Loves Him || Blacksburg Virginia Engagement Session

Sunday, June 21, 2009

Patrick is loved.

You can see that Becky loves him.  I don’t have to tell you that.

But what you cannot see, is that Sarah loves him too.   And i think she’s a pretty big fan of Becky too. Sarah is Patrick’s sister and this session was an engagement gift to them!

Not a bad spot to be in — getting married with lots of people who love you.  And i’m totally THRILLED i got to be a part of it.  You guys are wonderful and made me smile alot.

And i told Sarah that a shot from Patrick & Becky’s  session, was  one of my favorite shots ever (and i’m *sure* she thought i was just talking up the session.. nope, not my style, lol…).   So i have to share it here.  And its going to stand all alone.  Because i think it deserves to.

“He must be REALLY funny because she sure does laugh a lot”.

That’s what my daughter said when she saw Erin and Ryan’s pictures.  And she’s right.  He’s funny and she laughs a lot.   i LOVE it!!!!!!!!!!

And if you ever have the chance to meet these 2 — they’ll make you laugh too.  Thanks guys for our evening with the camera — it was SO much fun.  And they are headed to Colorado to get married in just a few weeks!

Unfinished Business || Blacksburg Virginia Family Portraits

Tuesday, June 16, 2009

We had to cut this session short…. i caused an allergy attack. and i felt bad.

There was this field.  This AMAZINGLY beautiful stunningly wonderful field.  And we simply *had* to take pictures in it.  I mean, it was in this family’s back yard.  How could we NOT?

We stopped after lots of sneezes and itchy eyes from grass pollen (did i mention i felt terrible????) — and we will finish it up soon.  And i sincerely hope that mom and dad love the images in this field.   So i’ll share one.

But first.. you have to meet their little guys.  Brothers who like to play with trucks and get dirty (i actually promised to take pictures in the mud when we finish the session).  i mean, that’s how these boys ’see’ themselves.  we MUST get muddy pictures!!!

and… the little man in the field… oooooohhhhhhhhhhh i love this image…….

I’ll be back soon!  And sorry my blog is being somewhat neglected….  Its reflective of just how busy i’ve been!  I’ll have a couple engagement session peeks coming up next!!

I Wanted to Squeeze Her || New River Valley Photography

Friday, June 5, 2009

Sugar and spice and everything nice.  SERIOUSLY.  This little family of 3 was so much fun and wonderful to work with!  I could look at images of this doll all day long (and no, i don’t mean her doll, lol).  Well, i could stare at them if my session cue wasn’t so long…   But here are a few to share.  I’m sure you’ll agree, that she is all girl, and so beautiful…

Sisters || Christiansburg Virginia Family Photographer

Monday, May 11, 2009

First — i signed off my last post saying it was busy season and i’d be back soon.  Well, i stand corrected.  Its RAINY season.  And well, natural light photography doesn’t work so great in rain!!!!  I’ve had many sessions rescheduled — so thank you to all of you who are being patient waiting on the sun to part the clouds!

I was miraculously able to get this session with sisters in at its regularly scheduled time!  And anyone who knows me, knows i have a special place in my soul for sisters.  Watching my girls experience life together is so much of what makes me tick…  And at this session, it was like i took a step back a few years.  These sisters are a few years behind mine, and it really brought back tons of memories.  They were funny and engaging.  Independent and loving.  Thank you to their parents for sharing them with me… and i hope you enjoy your sneak peek!

This might be my favorite image.  So its not a perfect portrait…  But it is undeniably a perfect real moment.

Watching them grow… || Blacksburg Virginia Baby Photographer

Friday, May 1, 2009

… is one of my favorite things.  absolutely positively, not question about it.

I first met Miss A when she was about a month old.  And somehow, she’s already 6 months old!!!!!  I know her parents feel that way too!  We had fun with her a couple of days ago — its SUCH a wonderful age.  Her parents and i were talking about it at the session — this age is just pure joy.

Here are a couple of pictures of her sweet self — but first — to remind you of how beautiful she was a then:

Smile || Blacksburg Virginia Family Photography

Wednesday, April 29, 2009

Seriously.  This family of 5 made me smile.  They were fabulous.  The kind of fabulous you hope your family to is….

The session is a Christmas gift to the mom from dad.  He tried hard to keep it a secret.  And, well,  i helped ruin it with a phone call i made.  But, apparently she’s also got a telepathic ability to guess his gifts anyhow, so she’d have figured it out without my help.  So — i suppose i’m saying — if you need someone to help ruin a surprise, i’m your girl!

Anyway — they made me smile.  So i can only help to return the favor with some silly pictures.

So first — Mom and Dad (well — this one isn’t silly, BUT they needed to be introduced, right?)

_mg_8305-copy

and next.. i LOVE LOVE LOVE this shot…  its like she’s looking for her FOUR  kids…

_mg_8190

and a silly shot of the each of the 3 kids –

I  *do* have some wonderful more *typical* portraits, i promise ;)  and in the the shot of their daughter — she was mirroring me!!!!  We all laughed pretty hard…

Urban Shooting || Blacksburg Virginia Photography

Monday, April 20, 2009

Life has been a bit hectic lately  and, well, i don’t think its slowing down anytime soon… but i wanted to tell you about something fun i got to do & something fun i’m going to do!!!  I had the opportunity to shoot with Kristi Hedberg of Krsiti Hedburg Photography in Asheville, North Carolina.  And, All i can say, is that i hope some of her grace and knowledge rubbed off on me. She was AMAZING to watch work, and i learned so much…   and she’ll see me at her doorstep more than a time or two if i have anything to say about it.  Although, i think she needs to make a trip to Blacksburg next ;).  Also, i’ll be out of pocket mostly this week.  I’m traveling to Salt Lake City to a Photography Workshop and i’m oooohhh soooooo excited to go work with about 20 other photographers….  I’ll share when i return!

But before i go,  i wanted to share a couple of images from that afternoon of urban shooting… and yes, the first shot is urban.  Its from an overgrown field right next to train tracks… and a huge bridge in downtown Asheville!

_mg_7558

So more later!! OH — and I had an AWESOME shoot this weekend with a wonderful family from Charlottesville.  The kind of family that you can tell just really enjoy eachother… and enjoy life.  They were a TREAT so i’ll have images to share from their session soon too!
