"If you can dream it, you can do it", a quote from Walt Disney that hits home with this girl and myself. I've known Amanda for a little over five years now (what?!). Her and I have the type of friendship where we can go months without talking to each other, but pick up right where we left off every time. Amanda: our friendship is a semi-colon haha! When she was 19, she moved to New York City, a place she'd always dreamed of living. Now, the wind has blown her all the way to California where she is writing the first chapter of her modeling career. Tonight, she will walk in her first-ever LA fashion show! Give this beauty some good vibes and go check out her modeling comp card at http://www.modelmayhem.com/3300519. She's got so much talent that is just waiting to be discovered. xoxo

Hello guests! Its been a crazy few weeks for me as my life has been revved into overdrive, but that doesn't mean I've forgotten about you!:) Take a minute to browse around my website (if you haven't already) and my Facebook page! I have some awesome sessions lined up so stay on the lookout! Thanks for stopping by! xoxo Ok, Ok... I know what you're thinking..."Where is your shirt?!"... No, not you were thinking? Hmm. Well, I was thinking that since the month of February is all about that four letter word that some of us crave and others loathe known as LOVE, I figured I'd start my own Love Movement. Let's face it, men and women alike, we all have certain things about ourselves which we may not be particularly fond of. My goal is to focus on the things about yourself that you do LOVE! I'm combining my passion for photography with each of my subjects' most favorite things about themselves! For example, I love my eyes! Yea, I said it!;) Your Love Movement doesn't have to be physical...for another example you could love your "giving spirit". You and I will best figure out how to represent what your giving spirit is through a photo and then I will feature you on my blog, website, or Facebook page...how exciting?! Join me in the February "Love Movement" and contact me so we can get started!
More Winter?! Really Phil? Although winter is said to last a little bit longer this year, today's weather is AMAZING! Hopefully am going to experiment with some new photo gadgets today! Stay on the lookout for those photos! In the meantime, check out my beautiful ring atop a delicious cinnamon roll! I was asked why I placed it on top of a cinnamon roll...because cinnamon rolls are sweet and so is the person who gave it to me!;)
Fireworks were exactly what were popping off today (and for the last year or so)! Today I was asked by my boyfriend Ryan if I would marry him. Of course my answer was yes, that goes without saying! I can't even begin to express how blessed I am to be taking these great steps in life with him as well as having our family grow too! 2014 has already brought us so much joy! Now all I have to do is get used to calling him my fiance ;) I love looking through photos I have taken in the past and finding what I call a "Diamond in the Rough". This is one of those photos I took but simply overlooked during the editing process. At second glance, I decided to give this little gem a second chance! On a cold day like today I am really missing the mild temperatures that fall brings us as well as the warm tones of the leaves. Soon spring will be here with vivid colors and I can't wait! Leave comments or message me, I would love to hear from you! If I could describe my weekend in one word it would be BUSY! On Saturday, I had the chance to celebrate the marriage of my cousin Kristin to Brad. These two are a match made in heaven! The ceremony was held in the beautiful Byrd Theater in downtown Richmond. The details of the theater were absolutely breathtaking! (I'll be posting a photo of the chandelier later, amazing!). Kris definitely put her own touch on the wedding. The decorations were based around dragonflies and gears, so her!Today, I capped off my weekend with a family session in Lorton, which was a great time! Be looking for more photos from the Pendleton wedding! I hope everyone is having a great week! I had the pleasure of photographing Shannon today in Fredericksburg! He is part of the Fredericksburg Beard Coalition who do so many awesome things for the community. And yes, his beard is quite the masterpiece! He sports an undefeated record against other beardo's in four different competitions; one of which he surpassed Jesus, Santa, and Ryan Gosling's beards to claim first prize. Not to mention he beat 3,000 other beards from across the nation! That's something to be proud of! Show Shannon and his other bearded brethren some love by "liking" their Facebook page
Hello all! The first four days of this new year have already brought great things. The one in which I am most thankful for is REST! I've been catching up on those z's that the holidays took from me! I have some sessions lined up, so be looking for sneak peeks of them! In the meantime, schedule a session with me today. Contact me, I would love to hear from you!
Here is my collage of 2013! What an amazing year it was! I experienced a great love blossom into a beautiful relationship, adopted the dog of my dreams, watched my family grow, reconnected with old friends, gained new ones, and went places I had never been before! What more could I ask for?! I hope 2014 brings more love and blessings for everyone! |
