Kerstyn ~ Class of 2014, Sherando High

Winchester, VA Senior Portrait Photographers

Check out Kerstyn, a beautiful young lady from Sherando High School! She is one of our models for the Class of 2014! We have exciting things planned for next year’s group, including a really fun fundraiser where our girls will be featured in a fashion show! We are excited to announce more details on the event over the coming months as we finalize the plans! Kerstyn was so easy to work with during her mini-shoot, and you wouldn’t know it, but she just had knee surgery! Since she couldn’t move around too much, I did the mini-session at her house and opted for some studio shots to round out her first photo shoot of the year. I can’t wait until the full senior portrait experience with her in July! Check out her senior portrait video I posted on our Facebook page for more images!

Flynn ~ Newborn

Martinsburg, WV Newborn Photographers

Meet little Mr. Flynn! I was ecstatic when his mama told me she wanted some pictures of him on Daddy’s Harley…. like seriously ecstatic! I love photographing newborns anyway, but to add in a sweet ride like this just kicked it up a notch into one of my all-time favorite sessions:)

This is definitely my favorite father – newborn image ever. Love it!

 

They brought along a vintage top hat that they wanted him bundled up in for some of his solo newborn portraits. I thought our bunny rabbit ears were the perfect compliment to the hat! How cute is that little baby?!?

 

Congrats to Khimaira Farm!

Luray Virginia Wedding Venues

Khimaira Farm Wedding Photographer Luray Virginia

We would like to congratulate our all-time favorite wedding venue, Khimaira Farm, on recently being selected as one of Virginia’s top wedding venues! We absolutely adore Khimaira Farm not only because we were married there in 2008, but because the entire family of Khimaira is absolutely amazing to work with. They put their entire hearts into making everyone’s special day truly “special” for each couple.

This is one of my favorite shots of Khimaira… Jon took this at Kyle & Bethany’s wedding in 2010, and it landed a spot on the Knot’s article on TLC’s choice of Luray as one of the Most Beautiful Wedding Destinations in the US!

Martin & BranDee ~ The George Washington Hotel (Pt. 2)

Winchester, VA Wedding Photographers

I promised I’d be back on Thursday with Martin & BranDee’s beautiful wedding reception, and here I am! They had their reception at the lovely George Washington Hotel in Winchester, VA, which is a popular reception venue for brides getting married at the Museum of the Shenandoah Valley.  Let’s get right to it and check out some of their gorgeous details! Entertainment and the beautiful uplighting by The DJ Connection, florals by Flowers by Snellings and the pretty cake by The Market Salamander.

Dancing with her grandfather to “Somewhere Over the Rainbow”.

They had a photobooth which was lots of fun for their guests !

(note: this is not the photo booth we offer)

I love getting this shot at the end of the night… how romantic:)
