Turning the Camera on Myself

Inspired by the article The Faces Behind the Lens: Famous Photographers Become Subject as They Display Their Most Celebrated Pictures , I turned the camera on myself to reenact and share with you a personal favorite of my own.

"This is probably my favorite image of all times. My babies were little and they were so difficult to wrangle that day. My Mom had helped me and we were so worried about Nolan's nose running and Georgia's hair flying in her face. This sweet shot wasn't really sweet when we took it...Georgia was checking to see if Nolan's nose was going to get near her face and Nolan was wondering if he could pull Georgia's hair. WAHLAH...a Christmas miracle." - Joylyn

Barn Sale...this weekend!

Hi All...most of you know my friends Carolyn and Bud...they are possibly the most generous people you will ever meet! Their barn has been the backdrop to MANY photo shoots over the years. This weekend Carolyn decided to dust bring out some stuff from the barn and have a sale. I got a sneak peak and well, let's just say I needed a truck to get home! Details: A huge barn filled with painted and refinished furniture (mostly name brands), accessories and other goodies. No clothes or children's items. Bring measurements, and oversized vehicle and girlfriends. "One of a kind". 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Oct. 5 and 6, 10 to 2 on Oct. 7th. 38376 W. Colonial Highway, Hamilton, Va. Head for the red barn at the end of the driveway

It's almost time...

I had the pleasure of photographing one of my dearest friends...Tanya! She and her husband Stephen are expecting Baby Stella as their very own April Fool's Day present. After I got the essential shots we decided to have a little more fun and baby Stella took her first leap...(I think Mom was hoping labor was just a few minutes away...however, that wasn't the case). Can't wait to see you Baby Stella! See you soon!

TEEN CAMP! June 25-29, 2012

TEEN CAMP! June 25-29th

Calling all Middle Schoolers!
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 evening our class will have a "show" from their week's assignments. Camp costs $200 (all materials are covered).

SPRING PHOTOBLITZ-APRIL 14-15

It's that time of the year!!! Looking forward to spending time with my favorite clients both new and not so new! :-) This year I'll be at Morven Park in Leesburg. I've already done a few shoots there and it's perfect! A beautiful mansion, (home to two governors) great boxwoods, a carriage house, and acres of fields with beautiful trees! I'm shooting both Saturday and Sunday. Please specify which day you would like. See you soon!
