audrey+jon [engagement]

A sweet couple from Virginia whom i have the pleasure of photographing their wedding in August! We had a fun engagement session recently -bouncing around from location to location trying to summarize all the fun things they love and do together, including guitar and "Bo" the pup. Some locations included Graylyn, Krankies and Summit Street Inns.

I need an accountant!

Any one out there up for a challenge? Any readers have a referral? Anyone maybe willing to barter a few hours of their time to prep me for taxes for a photo session or monies off a wedding package?

I know I haven't blogged a lot lately. I've been working on a few LARGE projects that have been eating me alive., although well worth it. Not to mention trying to keep up with all my awesome clients. I'll be heading to Wilmington, NC in a few weeks for an amazing wedding and some workshops. Along with my long list of things to do, one is to change my blog layout [bigger and better]. If you haven't checked out the new wedding website, please do! While it is still a work in progress I am excited to simply have something up and running considering my blog was the only means of communication i had for such a long time. The childhood portraiture website should be up any day now.

I couldn't be more exited about spring being on the way. I can already smell the warm breezes when I look at this image taken at a wedding last year. My favorite part of the longer days is being able to come home with my kids and sit and play outside. It's simply a better quality of life for those seasons because of that.

Gardner Wedding

I had an opportunity to work with one of my most favorite photographers, Anne Ruthmann. I can't be more honest when I say I wouldn't be where I am without fellow photographers such as Anne, that are willing to mentor and share their success. I packed my bags and headed out to Washington DC to meet a total stranger and accompany her for the weekend. Anne is not only a brilliant artist but she is extremely smart in the business of photography and my favorite part about Anne, her good heart.

For any photographers out there, she has a photography business blog [Photo LoveCat] with a wealth of great information and resources.
