Gomes-Sponaugle, Engagement

Posted on by under Couples, Engagement, Portraits

She handed me a plate of warm chocolate chip cookies. A small gift largely representative of Kayleigh’s giant heart and sweet nature. About a year ago, I took a snapshot of Kayleigh and Brandon as they celebrated their friends wedding. This year, they are in the midst of planning their own wedding and I am thrilled to be the one that will document their special day. For the engagement session, we visited their wedding venue, The Columns at Six Penny Farms. With wonderful views in all directions, on this particular November evening, we enjoyed lovely golden sunlight pouring over rolling mountains.bsomeIMG_7889 bsomeIMG_7884 bsomeIMG_7899 bsomeIMG_7897 bsomeIMG_7910 bsomeIMG_7933bsomeIMG_7946bsomeIMG_7948bsomeIMG_7967bsomeIMG_7918bsomeIMG_7991bsomeIMG_7996bsomeIMG_8001bsomeIMG_8008bsomeIMG_8016bwbsomeIMG_8028bsomeIMG_8035bsomeIMG_8045bsomeIMG_8055bsomeIMG_8063bsomeIMG_8072bsomeIMG_8068bsomeIMG_8077bsomeIMG_8113bsomeIMG_8120bsomeIMG_8121bsomeIMG_8130cbsomeIMG_8132bsomeIMG_8131bsomeIMG_8135

March-Lawrence Wedding

Posted on by under Weddings

Kyle and Whitney’s wedding took place at Cross Keys Barn on one of the clearest, brightest, bluest days of the summer. Their friends and family gathered for pre-ceremony yard games, cocktails and mingling – a good ol’ fashioned backyard-style get-together that is trademark of Harrisonburg. And as if the crisp blue skies weren’t a perfect enough backdrop, Massanutten Mountain and Fridley’s Gap (where Kyle proposed) perched perfectly in the near distance.  The ingredients of a postcard. The day carried on as the roar of chatting and laughter among friends grew. There was a happy buzz all around the grounds, in the barn, on the deck, in the front and the back and in every nook and cranny. When I left that evening, I could hear the laughter and feet stomping to the beat of DJ Ryan Clark. I could smell firewood burning as people sat and mingled under the stars. I could see glow-in-the-dark frisbees zooming by the distant mountain peaks. And…I could feel the love. Congratulations on a perfect wedding day, Kyle & Whitney.

Amisha & Braelea

Posted on by under Children, Family, Portraits, Uncategorized

Amisha and I have scheduled half a dozen photo shoots in the passed two months but the late spring rain was not falling in our favor. When this day finally came, it was a sunshiny miracle! Braelea, her daughter, hopped out of the car saying “cheeeeese” and  flinging phrases like “Oh pickle juice!” around. She is a hoot! Her personality shouts through these images and had me smiling and oohing and EEEing all the way through the editing process. And Amisha! Not only is she gorgeous(!) but she jumped a barbed wire fence with me for a photo op. In a dress. And sandals. Ok so we switched shoes for a hot minute but she was up for it and still looked stunning standing in that wheat field. One tick, an eskimo kiss and a few rosy cheeks later, our session came to an end and we drove away smiling. bsomeIMG_7114collagebsomeIMG_7107bw
