Jaimie & Evan: ENGAGED

Jaimie and Evan just recently got engaged and it was so fun to be able to take their engagement pictures! Jaimie is a friend of mine, who I look up to a great deal and it was so refreshing to see her and meet her fiance Evan. They were both so easy going and it made the evening a delight! Here are a few images from the night:

Kent & Alisha TRAMMELL

I had the privilege to be the second shooter at the wedding of Kent and Alisha this past Saturday in Roanoke. Getting to know Alisha my junior at Liberty on the dorm was such a pleasure and it was so special to be part of her wedding. Both she and Kent are so down to earth and warmhearted. The ceremony was such a testimony of their love and respect for the Lord and it was such a blessing to be there. As the second shooter for this event, I took the groomsmen pictures, that are below. Detailed photographs from the reception are soon to come!

The D'Amico Family

The first weekend in July I was able to travel home with my best friend, Danielle, to take pictures of her and her family at the Jersey Shore! It was such a blessing to be able to take pictures for them and better yet, see the whole family! Everyone in the D'Amico family has the ability to make you feel like a friend instantly. They are so welcoming and hospitable. I love that and so much more about them. They have showed me their kindness over and over again and I am so thankful for them! Here are some of my favorite pictures from the shoot. It was a very clear and sunny day as you can see by their big smiles and bright faces:

Stephen & Brianne BELL

This past Saturday I attended the lovely wedding of Stephen and Brianne Bell. It was a local wedding in Lynchburg held at the Trivium. For the time of year, I'm sure the day was expected to be hot and humid, but it was a beautiful, clear and mild day. The Trivium has a very artistic landscape surrounding it, which makes for some really special and unique pictures. This was the second wedding that I was able to take part in with Sabrena and it was great to be there. Stephen and Brianne were a very laid back and peaceful couple; the love that they had for their friends and family was very evident. Here are some pictures from their perfect day...

The Gerdes Family

I have known the Gerdes family for about a year and a half now and it has been such blessing to know such a wonderful family! I have had the opportunity to babysit Gracie, Ian and Alex through out the school year and a good amount this summer, especially with the arrival of their new baby sister, Christy. The other evening before Dr. and Mrs. Gerdes went out for a date night, I took some family portraits. I knew this was going to be a challenge but also a lot of fun, and it turned out to be a pretty quick and easy photo shoot. It was really cool to capture all of their warm joyful smiles and the kids different personalities. Here are some of the pictures

VA Beach Trip

This weekend I took a trip to VA beach with some friends to visit a great friend of mine. Although I had my camera almost every where we went I couldn't help but relax on the beach during the day, hang out with everyone and enjoy the evenings. However, one evening we made it a little event to go to the bay area to take some pictures of Lu and Nathan. They are wonderful people with great passion for knowledge and literature. I like them a lot.

A night on the town

Last night, I was able to go on a photo shoot in the town of Bedford, with Sabrena, Johnna and James. James and Johnna were married in March but the rain kept them from getting all the wedding pictures they hoped for. Sabrena kindly offered to reshoot for them after they had been wed and three months later, Johnna, once again, put on her beautiful wedding dress and James put on his suit! It was a beautiful night and the sky was outrageous, I never thought I would see all those colours in the sky at one time. The town was empty for the most part, but James and Johnna were definitely catching passerby's eyes through out the town. It was fun watching them together, they are filled with love for one another and carry a contagious joy. Here are some pictures I got from the shoot:
