Leaping into the future

Megan, a rising senior at Appomattox Governor's School is driven to perfection with both school and dance. We had a wonderful time collaborating with her to achieve unique images that speak to her love of ballet. Her goal is to pursue a collage career before her ultimate goal as a professional ballet dancer is realized. Megan said, "I work really hard at it." She no doubt has beautiful form and a graceful presence in front of the camera.

Megan, Wanda and I look forward to purchasing that ticket and seeing you perform when your dream becomes a reality.

Its Twins

Older sister, Gwen was blessed with twin brothers as her parents, Jay and Elizabeth became parents for the second and third time within minutes. With the twins just a few weeks old, the family visited the studio to capture the tiny features of there newborn sons and growing family. Wanda mentioned that the infants were especially cuddly as we spent the morning photographing the family. We came away with some very special images to go with portraits we made of their older sister three years ago.

I still remember Elizabeth (Biffy) in her wedding gown. A beautiful family has emerged from that beginning eight? years ago.

Nature's Art

We recently ended our day of photographing just outside of Gloucester,VA. and received the gift of a beautiful sunset over a tributary of the Chesapeake Bay. There are few images in life that compare to a beautiful sunset. No matter what our day has been like or how rushed our week may have been, a sunset makes us pause and take notice. We realize that the show will only last for a brief time, so it is common to soak in the last light of the day. I like to think of a sunset as a soothing visual tonic that God gives us to remind us of His beautiful creation through nature's art.
