Montalvo Wedding - Newport News, Va.

I recently had the pleasure and the honor of photographing a dear friend's wedding. Kim and I were roommates in college and sorority sisters. We were inseparable in college, and even though life has taken us in different paths, living in different cities, when the two of us get back together for visits we don't miss a beat. It's like we're back in school again, close as ever.

So when Kim asked me to photograph her wedding, I jumped at the chance. The day of the wedding I tagged along to the hair salon as the bridal party was made beautiful, was by the bride's side as she put on her wedding dress, and  watched as her bridesmaids and mother put the final touches on her. And of course, I was clicking away with my camera the whole time, catching every moment of the special day. Below are some photos from Kim and Josh Montalvo's wedding day. I hope you enjoy viewing them as much as I enjoyed taking them.

2011 First Snow Forest, Va.

Well it's Jan. 8th and we've had our first snow of 2010 in the Lynchburg, Va. area. This snow was so fluffy and beautiful. The dusting on the tree limbs and along the road made my neighborhood look like a winter wonderland. While I prefer to see snow from inside my warm house, I trekked out into my backyard for a little while this morning to snap some photos. Hope you enjoy!

Christmas 2010 Portraits - Lynchburg, Va.

This past Christmas season I had the pleasure of taking the photos for a few clients' Christmas cards. One photo shoot was completed at the client's home and was such fun to do. The boys dressed in their PJ's and sat by the Christmas tree. I was able to get lots of shots of them with their presents, reading to one another, and of the entire family by the fire place. Another Christmas photo shoot was held at the Snowflex Ski Lodge on Candlers Mountain in Lynchburg. The ski lodge was a dream to shoot in and was already decorated with trees, stockings, and Christmas decor. Here are some of my favorite photos from each of these different photo shoots. Enjoy!

Jason and Shanetta Engagement Photos - Downtown Lynchburg, Va.

I met with Jason and Shanetta over the weekend in Downtown Lynchburg to take their engagement photos. Jason popped the question to Shanetta in October and the couple plans to wed in June 2011. I am thrilled to be the photographer they chose to capture all of the wonderful memories leading up to the big day. We spent three hours wandering the streets of Downtown Lynchburg Saturday afternoon. We were lucky to have such a beautifully warm day considering it was mid-November. This couple is just amazing. They are obviously in love, and it shines through in their personalities and photographs that were captured that day. Here is a little sneak peek of the photos taken during the E-session that day. Enjoy!

Emmie - 6 Months Old

While meeting with my client to present her with the CD of her family photos, I took a few moments to photograph her daughter who recently turned 6 months old. The photo shoot took place in the client's home and took about 20 minutes. It was quick and painless for mom and baby, but resulted in these fabulous photos. Enjoy!

Scecina Fall Family Photos - Riverside Park, Lynchburg, Va.

I met with the Scecina family at the end of October to take fall photos. We had a beautiful day at Riverside Park and I enjoyed wandering the park with them snapping photos along the way. Here are some of my favorite shots:
