An International Family

Michelle (far right) enjoyed a wonderful weekend with her family whom she has'nt seen together for a couple of years. She studied in the US and worked in fashion in New York City before starting a family and settling down in Richmond. Her parents were visiting from Hong Kong and her brother and fiancee made the trip down from New York to share a family visit and create a memorable portrait. It was a pleasure to share a brief time with them to create portraits for this international family. We will be sure to carefully package the finished wall portraits for the long trip overseas.

The Eighteenth Green: Hermitage CC

A wedding day is full of excitement, emotion and a host of beautiful visual moments. Each Wedding day is unique with only one thing in common;one of the most important days of the couples life together. Ashley and Matt were married at St. Mary's Episcopal Church on River Rd. Hermitage Country Club provided a stunning vista as the sun set over the 18th hole. To end the day, another golf cart was employed as Matt and Ashley begin their life together.

Wedding Album Design

Album design is as important as great images. The featured images captured at Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden, showcase the wedding cake and related vignettes to complete a chapter in this wedding album. When designing an album, its important for each spread to become a "chapter of the day." In this case, the use of three images work better than one simple picture of the cake. Album design is an artistic feature included in every wedding we photograph. With over a dozen awards for wedding photography and six "Best Wedding Album in Virginia" awards, we are delighted to offer our "best" to every client.

Kayaking on the James

I enjoyed a couple of hours kayaking the James River on the morning of Labor Day. A point/shoot camera stuffed inside my life jacket and a polarizing filter made it possible to capture a few images along the way. Nice way to spend a day off.

A Gift for Dad

We know Autumn is approaching when the air is crisp and we see the big yellow buses passing by. In this image, Mom and her children were visiting from Florida and set aside a portion of their morning to share a hug and create a special portrait for Dad. This image was created as part of a Family Session, including Grandmother and cousins.

With Autumn upon us, its the best time to experience the warmth of your Family in a lasting Portrait. Dad will also love the gift for the holidays. (Of course, Dad can be part of the Portrait too)
