Encore Dance Center Christmas Party

Diane Holland combines her annual Christmas party with a fundraiser for CHKD. She has a silent auction of which the proceeds go to the hospital and this year I set up a photo booth and took pictures with all profit also going to CHKD. It was a fun night and it helped out a great cause!

Cutest Santa Ever!

Although this wasn't an "official" portrait sitting, I had great fun taking pictures of my best friend Lee's grandson. He was attending his first Breakfast with Santa. He is such a good baby and adorable too - a hard-to-beat combination!

Kristy and Mike

Kristy and Mike were my second engagement session on Saturday afternoon. We met at the same park a little later in the day. They were really fun to work with and we had a great time. I'm really looking forward to their wedding next summer!

Faye and Sam

I have had a bit of a break, I was out of town for almost 2 weeks and then the weather pushed my sessions into later in the month. I had a great time with Faye and Sam on Saturday. We met at Oak Grove Lake Park in Chesapeake. The weather was beautiful and the trees still had much of their color. They were awesome to work with and I can't wait for the wedding next March!

A Different Kind of Bridal Session

Leelu was climbing Dave to get away from the water!

What an incredible time I had on Sunday with Beth and Dave. Beth didn't want to have a bridal session done before her wedding last June, so we planned on doing what is known as a "Trash the Dress" session in the fall after the wedding. She is gorgeous and so easy to work with it really makes my job (if that is what you want to call it) easy. Dave came along and brought their 4 month old puppy, Leelu too. Leelu was awesome! A little afraid of the water but she is a real sweetheart. We decided this really wasn't a "Trash the Dress" - there was no paint or fire involved (haha) - so an after wedding session is a better term. Here is a very small sampling of what we did last weekend.
