The winner of my last free session drawing invited me to a field at her grandparents home for pictures this past week. The sticky hot air of late July was wicked, but we managed to capture some special portraits.








Happy Saturday! I'm headed out to shoot senior portraits.

What a whirl wind I have been in, shoots, editing, phonecalls, emails, shoots, and more shoots. Everything from Boudoir to babies. I am a bit behind in posting my tid bits from sessions.

I have had an adorable crowd, all worthy off huge pictures on my blog!! Here a a few from a session last week. She was so much fun to be around.

A few weeks ago I picked up this peddle car at the Lexington Farmer's Market. I knew right away that it would be a great prop. Thankfully I had my husband with me that day or I would have never been able to make it back to the car carrying it. It is one solid and heavy little car.

Since this new to me car has been parked in my studio I have had the most fun with it on the side streets of Lexington. Here is a shoot from this week with a cute little guy who took it for a test drive.

I loved getiing to know this Virginia Beach bride. The Vineyards was a perfect backdrop to her bridal portraits and wedding. Here are a few from the evening.

This little boy might be turning two, but he doesn't know a thing about the terrible twos. He was perfect for his session, and I was lucky to have the chance to photograph him again. Happy Birthday Landon!!

Before school got out, one of my boys came home with a very terrifying statistic. No matter where you are, you are never more than seven feet away from a spider. My reaction to this was shock, and disgust. Everyone who has ever had the chance to see me freak over a spider knows the overwhelming fear that I have for those eight legged monsters.

But, the other morning I called a truce with the venom-spitting nasties, and set out on a mission to find something that I liked about them (the list was short). But I did realized that spiders are amazing architects and creators of short lived forms of art. Here are a few of my favorites from the morning that I admired them from afar with a really good zoom lens.

I went back to disliking them the minute I thought one was crawling through my hair and I hit my head on a tree when violently shaking to get it off me. I will never be convinced that they aren't out to get me.
