Kristen | Yorktown, Virginia

 

I'm so thrilled to share these photos with you! Kristen is an amazing woman who I was lucky enough to get to meet four years ago when we started working together. August of 2012, we set out on a little adventure to capture some photos for her graduation announcements. She had just completed her Master's from CNU in teaching and was about to venture into a new season of her life as an elementary school teacher. We decided this August to go back to the pier where we had taken her photos the year before, to show some outward changes that have taken place, amazing changes! I'm so proud of her, but thankfully, she is still the same sweet friend she has always been. We also checked out some new locations, spent a few minutes in some FREEZING cold water, and got some amazing shots! Check out this beautiful lady! 

 

Aubrey | Newport News, Virginia

 

I cannot believe how much this girl is growing up! She is turning into a truly stunning woman on the inside and out, just like her Mom. I was thrilled when she asked me to take some pictures before Ring Dance (I was also in shocked when she asked because I couldn't believe she was already old enough to go to Ring Dance!). Her group was meeting at the Lion's Bridge in Newport News, so before they all got their, we decided to do some individual pictures and once her date arrive we got lucky and were able to get some gorgeous sunset pictures! Seriously - that sky, that dress - AMAZING!

 

Jacquelyn | Smithfield, Virginia

This past Saturday, Jacquelyn and I headed over to Smithfield to take a few photographs. Jacquelyn has been wanting to get some done and I needed a few new portrait examples for my up and coming graduation portfolio. We drove around for awhile looking for the perfect location and eventually settled upon the walking trail across from Smithfield Station that leads to Windsor Castle Park. The scenery was perfect, it was beautiful and relaxing. I love photographing with woods in the background, there is something about it that is just so amazing!! Here are some shots from our little adventure.
