Summer Photography Camp-July 28-Aug 1, 2014

So excited to do summer camp again this year!  Last year I was thrilled to see the amazing results by the end of the week.  This class is for beginners and those that are a bit more advanced.  

TEEN CAMP! July 28-Aug 1, 2013
$200 (includes all materials)
Calling all Middle Schoolers and rising 9th Graders!!


As many of you know I used to teach middle school Langauage Arts. I truly love this age group! This summer I'm offering a one week camp for middle schoolers (rising 6th graders through rising freshmen). Each day campers will meet in Leesburg at our "training camp" to go over basics of photography. Students will be given daily assignments and will be shooting throughout the town of Leesburg. This is going to be fun for all! Camp days go from 9-1pm each day. Campers can bring a packed lunch or buy something at one of the local restaurants. On Friday our class will have a "show" from their week's assignments. No need to have large cameras, point and shoots work great too!  Camp costs $200 (all materials are covered).  Class size is limited.

HAPPPPPY NEW YEAR!

This past weekend I was honored to shoot a wedding of a lifetime.  I met Tempe and her daughter a few years ago when I was photographing her for the Loudoun Pediatrics Assoc. waiting room portraits.  I remember at the time thinking she was super lovely and I had wished she would find happiness after the great loss of her husband.  Well...it happened and love she found.  Possibly the most I've ever cried at a wedding.  UNBELIEVABLY AMAZING!!!  Yesterday I received a note that all photographers dream about...wanted to share.

We are almost without words...... YOUR photos are  absolutely FANTASTIC and BEYOND BELIEF..... you captured the absolute joy and love of our wedding day more than we thought was possible ..... the pictures are something out of a dream... we never expected to have such AMAZING photos... I've never seen anyone's wedding pictures look like these !!!!! .... you captured  all our family and friends in such a warm and genuine way and in the middle of every picture Jon and I are standing there sooooo VERY happy and proud and clearly sooo IN LOVE !!!!   YOU will have our heartfelt gratitude  forever for these WONDERFUL photos!!!!  It means so much to us to have you there  and your pictures are so joyous and tender and touching..... WE CAN'T  THANK YOU ENOUGH !!!!!  We have watched the slideshow twice already and keep smiling and crying at the same time.... we are having trouble  getting through these past few days because our wedding day was so special and we keep wanting to do it all over again !!!! 

.... LET us know your favorites too.... ONE of ours is of us in the  candlelight doorway of the church following the ceremony......  so beautiful and touching... Joylyn, what a dear friend you are and you have given us the most AMAZING gift.....  WOW  and  THANK YOU   THANK YOU.... let us hear from you... Happy New Year and LOTS of  love,  Tempe and Jon
