Excited was not the word to describe my emotions as Ms. Merlene stepped out with this burgundy hair and makeup on point for her session! She came ready to work and gave it everything for these images. We had a great time walking around Richmond to obtain these images and she was an ultimate professional. I have learned to travel to find these hidden gems that others are not willing to. I am grateful for finding her and hope that our paths will cross again.
Everyone meet Sean or Shon as he is listed on social media! Sean is an aspiring actor who lives in the DMV and was awesome to photograph. He was more than willing to listen and opened to all the crazy ideas I had for his session. We have another shoot scheduled soon and I can't wait to see what comes out of it. Stay tuned!
Meeting people is what I do and I love when I meet people that like to be in front of my camera. A few weeks ago I was contact by Rayshawn that wanted to update his photos to update his online presence. He recently became a spokesperson for a supplement company and is on his way to doing big things. I look forward to working with him again in the future.
Family sessions are so much fun...especially when they are a combo to announce the new arrival to the family. This session was so fun and carefree on a chilly afternoon. The girls were glad to walk in the leaves and sit and look at the water while mom and dad took some photos with each other. I can't wait to meet the new little one and capture his first moments.
Who doesn't remember their Senior year and all the excitement of getting ready to graduate? Senior sessions always take me back to my senior portraits and the fun I had having my own portraits taken. I recently had the opportunity to meet this young lady and she was so sweet. Just calm and wanted photos with her guitar and nothing to fancy. Her gorgeous blue eyes and wonderful smile were such a delight to capture so she will have these photos for years to come.
Babies are amazing and when you get to photograph two of them it is a wonderful thing! I met these two little ones at 11 days old and they were just gorgeous. Malia with her calm demeanor and Joseph, who is the feisty one already, brought such a joy. Once both were asleep, because one would be awake and the other would snuggle, we were able to snap a couple of portraits.
I have learned so much through newborn photography and the number one thing is PATIENCE!! I had a totally different vision for this session but you have to always be flexible when it comes to little ones. I can't wait to see them grow and develop their personalities to see if they stay calm and feisty! :-)
Honored to have photographed this cutie for her 1st Birthday and her first official photoshoot. While we watched Elmo and Sesame Street videos and sang numerous songs we were able to snap these few gems. However everyone knows that a princess requires their beauty sleep and so was the case for little Janiyah. Appreciative for her mother and family for allowing me to meet this little one and I look forward to many more sessions!
New models that are trying to grow their portfolios are awesome to work with. Theo was no exception. We have had the opportunity to work together twice and try some different looks. He is an awesome guy and being Asian brings a different flavor to the industry. I hope that he is able to pick up some work in this ever changing industry. Enjoy, Like and Share!
I recently met this young lady through her fiancé and she and I are both from California and clicked immediately. She wanted to do a session for him to surprise him and also to have a professional session done for herself....for once. We had an amazing time as we customized her session to include his guitar and to accent her awesome tattoos. Boudoir can be tastefully done, but the key is to find the photographer that makes you feel comfortable.
