The Callahan Family

Through the years, we have had the privilege of photographing families and individuals from all walks of life. Some live in foreign countries, others live right next door. In the process of creating a portrait, we find it important to know a little about their lives, what their interests are and the life they share together.

As we created this portrait of the Callahan family, we came to realize that it was not only a beautiful area of their farm, it was also the area that mom would watch from afar as her kids walked to the school bus. Now the children are adults and in college or holding careers of their own and Mom and Dad enjoy the pleasures their first grandchild. Even so, the family is surrounded by an environment that helped shape their lives and holds meaning to them all.

Colors of Autumn

Fall colors are beginning to "paint" the landscape with beautiful golden hues all around us. The best part is that the most beautiful tree is often in your own yard. Grab your camera and explore the visual display in front you. Be sure to move in close for a few photographs to isolate just a few leaves that catch your eye. A macro lens works best for fine detail, however most point and shoot cameras will have a close up setting (flower symbol) that will allow your camera to be within inches of your subject. The display of colors should be spectacular this year. Enjoy the show!

We have had the pleasure of photographing Taylor and his family for several years now. We first met him when his sister was a rising Senior in high school. Since then we have created several portraits for their home to establish a memory for the family (especially Mom and Dad) as their children grow into adults and move away to college.

This portrait compliments Taylor's personality and style which will reflect an accurate portrayal of this young man for his family for generations to come.

A Richmond Wedding to Remember

Beautiful autumn skies presided over Keely and Adrian's wedding, both during their ceremony and throughout the evening. Guests sipped hot cider upon arriving at Keely's family home, the site of her afternoon wedding to Adrian. Family and friends from The Netherlands, London, China, and across the United States assembled to witness an exquisite wedding and reception.

Later in the evening, illuminated trees above transparent tents enveloped the surroundings and provided both a beautiful vista expanding to the evening skies as guests celebrated during a festive candlelight dinner and dancing.

Congratulations, Keely and Adrian!
