Headshot

Today I worked on updating my headshot. My old one was done in 2010 by Tony Hall  while we were in a Studio Photography class at VCU. I stepped in as a test model for one of his shoots and this bad boy was created:

(Yup. Can you tell I modeled my expression off of the JC Penny portrait studios? One word: Iconic)

Needless to say, I've lost some weight since then and I kind of wanted something a little more traditional in terms of a headshot.

Now for a behind the scenes moment brought to you, apparently, by an Uncle Sam pose.

And now for the final product!

Colonial Williamsburg

My family went camping at Colonial Williamsburg last weekend. If you know me at all, you know that I am basically a huge Colonial Williamsburg fan (so much so that I affectionately refer to it as "Cowilly"). I also love English Boxwoods. They are the bee's knees.  Anyway, back on topic.

I saw this guy and immediately began taking about 50 photos of him. He was such a ham. I'll save you from a cuteness overload and just leave you with this image.

Valentine's Day Portraits

I had the opportunity to take a few photographs of my mom last week. She wanted an updated portrait of herself for Valentine's Day and I jumped at the opportunity. Not only was it a great chance to brush the dust off of my camera but I was also able to spend some quality time with her. We started off at the City Dock in Downtown Fredericksburg and then visited Chatham Manor (if you haven't had the chance to visit, you should check it out.) These images are a few of my favorites but I'll leave you with this gem... I'm sure she wouldn't appreciate it but I think this really captures a lot of personality.
