Congratulations, Philip!

What a privilege to know Philip and capture these images from his senior year.  Even though we attend church together, I didn't realize what a talented musician he is until this photo shoot.  

We had a good time utilizing the colors, landscape and architecture of Charleston for this session.

Wesleyan is fortunate indeed to be gaining such an accomplished musician and stellar student.  Best wishes to you always, Philip!

Watch Me Grow!

I love my job.  And here is one reason why:  the Pennington family!  They are delightful people and great parents... all in all, a pleasure to work for.

These images are part of my Watch Me Grow! package, which offers 5 mini-sessions on location.  The sessions include newborn images and then at 3 month intervals up to a year. It's been so rewarding to watch their little one grow.

One of my favorite lil' Mountaineers! 

My favorite aspect of children's portraiture... capturing moments of discovery.

Look at me!

Urban Session

With many of my facebook friends recounting their blessings through this month of Thanksgiving, this seems a perfect opportunity to publicly thank all my wonderful clients!!  I truly feel that I serve some of the best people around and I am very thankful for it.  I can now add Kortni to that list of blessings, as I had a very fun afternoon shooting her Urban Session in areas around Charleston, WV.

A Riverside High School senior, Kortni had the idea of using Capitol Street for part of her session;  I love the colors and settings this area provides.  I think Kortni enjoyed the best of both worlds since we also traveled to forested areas to capture some of the remaining foliage and natural landscapes.

You are a beautiful young lady, Kortni;  it was a pleasure meeting you & your family.   I wish you all the best in your senior year!
