Alexa and Jeremy's maternity photos

Check out their SLIDESHOW!

Wow, how completely beautiful is Alexa in these photos!?! And they both look so excited to be parents :) Alexa and Jeremy are expecting their first child in a couple weeks, so stay tuned for photos of their little bean. They are finding out if it's a boy or girl the old fashioned way, at delivery! Any guesses?

Sue and Eric's Wedding

I was honored to photograph the marriage ceremony uniting Sue and Eric. It was an intimate celebration at the very lovely Morrison House in Old Town. Sue's nephew and niece, Bradley and Kimmy, played the ceremony and reception music. They played beautifully; they even brought one of the guests to tears at one point! I've seen Bradley and Kimmy (Jammage, Inc.) play on a number of occasions (see the February posting) but this was their most touching performance. Sue and Eric were so happy on the their first day of marriage and I think these photos reflect the happiness and love they share!

Here is their SLIDESHOW!

Jason's Graduation!

Here is my brother's graduation from Cumberland Valley High School! It took place on June 7, 2007 at Hersheypark Arena. Some of these photos remind me of Where's Waldo for some reason; I'm not sure if it's the white and red colors or the fact you really have to hunt to Find Jason. I was thinking about hopping into the arena floor, but there were Principal-like guards all around... Most importantly, CONGRATULATIONS JASON!

Veronica, Penelope and Shawn

Here is Baby Veronica and her loving parents photographed when she was 17 days old! How thrilled was I to take their first family pictures? I was very honored to photograph this special time in the lives of Veronica, Penelope and Shawn. Their little girl is a pro at modeling already! I love doing photo shoots of babies because they are 100% themselves in front of the camera. Here are several images of the beautiful Veronica...

Grandma Joyous

I spent the last week in Florida, spending 3 days in Tampa and 2 days in Melbourne, which seemed like no time at all after the days flew by. I did manage to take a couple pictures of my grandmother with my brother Derrick. As those in the family already know, Grandma Joyous is an incredible woman, independent, intelligent and intuitive. She also raised nine children! One morning, I asked to see pictures of when my mother and her siblings were young. I spent over an hour poring through them and was lucky to hear some stories behind the photos from Grandma. The bottom photo is of orchids that Aunt Dawn grew. I wanted to take photos of Dawn, George, Brittany, Kevin, Joyce, and Curtis as well, but the timing was all too brief... Hope the family enjoys the photos here!

Jack & Mary Ashley's Wedding

Kenny, one of my best friends from college, invited me to the wedding of his 4C friend, Jack. 4C is a group of friends hailing from JMU and if I know anything to be certain in this world, it's that in 40 years or more time these friends will still be hanging out and causing a ruckus. Jack was the first of the 4Cers to be wed and I felt honored to be included in their special day. The ceremony took place in a lovely Episcopalian church in the Charlottesville area and the reception was held on the farm Mabby's family owns. The land was absolutely stunning and made a perfect backdrop to celebrate the love between Jack and Mabby. Here are some photos from their day:
