Lisa & Jeremy’s Sneak Peek – Northern Virginia Engagement Photographer

I met with Lisa and Jeremy for an engagement shoot in Ashburn, VA at one of my favorite spots to photograph.  The weather was brisk, but beautiful which made it easy to capture a lot of great shots.  Here are some of my favorites from our time together, including these of the enchanted forest!

Olivia, Ava & Leighton’s Family Sneak Peek – Northern Virginia Family Photographer

I met with Jason, Ashley, and their three beautiful girls for a newborn/family photo shoot.  Leighton was only 5 days old, but had a full head of hair.  We had a great time together trying new and interesting poses.  Here’s one of my favs.

Corey & Tim, it was great meeting you and your family.  Next time, we’ll have to plan a session with just the two of you so the boys can’t hop into the picture!

Happy Halloween!

Brayden is going as a fireman this year and Landon as a monkey.  Only a couple more hours until dusk and the trick or treating begins!

Tandy & Chakris’ Sneak Peek – Northern Virginia Wedding Photographer

I spent the afternoon and evening of October 8th with Tandy and Chakris for their big day at Oatlands Plantation.  The weather was absolutely perfect and Tandy looked like a million dollars.  Here’s a sneak peek of a few of my favorites.

Cari’s Sneak Peek – Northern Virginia High School Senior Photographer

I met with Cari in Ashburn and downtown Leesburg for her senior portraits.  She was a natural in front of the camera.  I definitely think Cari looks like she could be a country music singer and this could be her album cover!

Her bright, colorful outfit was perfect for photos.

We headed to downtown Leesburg for the rest of our photos.  Here are some with the blue scarf outfit.

Punch buggy green!  Cari’s VW was a great color contrast to her plaid shirt.  They say that you can tell a lot about a person by the car they drive… I think the green bug fits Cari’s happy and fun personality!

A couple Totally Rad! effect photos.  This photo, with the filter effect and Cari’s look/style, reminds me of a clothing store advertisement.

Cari, have a wonderful One Two year!
