I adore this photo of the family together on the haystack. This photograph is of the two brothers wading through the creek water on a summer day.Sepia tone provides emotion and warmth when capturing lifestyle moments.
I love this special moment caught between mother and her son lost in conversation.
When photographing a branding session it is important to think about placement and where the text might go. Its all about balance. This image would make a great front cover to a local publication. I wanted to capture the Blue Ridge Mountains which the Vineyard overlooks.
We spent sometime in the barrel room taking some portraits.
It’s important that the photographs document a story. You don’t always want to have your subject looking at the camera.
Make sure to document the fine details and close up shots.
Here is Tucker and Melanie in the vineyard. You can tell how much he loves his mom.

The golden sun shined on these siblings as they walked together through the boxwood tunnel.
If you ever need a child to smile ask the parents to spin around. It works 100% of the time. Just be careful if they are wearing heels. You don’t want anyone to sprain their ankle or loose their balance.
This Waterford family chose to do their family photo session at Morven Park in Leesburg, VA.
Panoramic portraits are artistic and can look great on a long wall.
When photographing dogs its always a good idea to know the language that the family uses with their dog. Like do you want to go “play”? That is what we said to get this cute cock of the head in this portrait.
A close up shot of the dog can be fun. You should always use a high depth of field when photographing dogs. It ensures that everything will be sharp and crisp.
There are lots of poses you can try when photographing your dog. A profile shot is always nice.
Using a black background on a German Short Hair Pointer could be a neat look as well.
