A girl and a horse

Spending some time with Mikayla and Cheyenne brought me back to my own childhood.I was quickly reminded of the special bond between a girl and her horse as I watched these two interact. The respect and trust for one another and the obvious compassion for eachother.

I was fortunate to grow up with a twin sister who rode horses. I was never one to take interest in riding, as I was the prissy girl and didn't want to get my hands dirty. But, I always admired my sister for her dedication to caring for her horses and how that was put before any social activities, even through high school. I can see this, too, in Mikalya. I am thrilled that she is one of my daughters best friends.

Small Town Holiday

Hay bales, old wagons, ladders, rustic siding... A perfect backdrop for a small town holiday greeting card.

Charlottesville Family Session

Stunning eyes, infectious smiles, beautiful personalities. This family has it all.

My Handsome Man

I am the luckiest Mommy in the world to call this handsome and kind hearted little man my son.

For Angie

This girl is a woman of beauty, talent, integrity and courage. Her voice will make you melt. Her patience and charm will intrigue you. Her attitude on life is infectious. I only wish we lived closer...For she is several hundred miles away by land, but, only a phone call away when I need her. For my dear cousin Angie, love you and miss you. XO

Legendary Uncle George

Meet my Uncle George, the creative, talented, cook, scrabble game pro, pond expert, craftsman, family man, musician...need I say more? We were so fortunate to spend time with him this Summer. He greeted us with homemade baked goodies, fresh brewed tea, chili on the stove and a roast in the crock pot. He showed our son how to widdle wood. He played his guitar, and he whooped our tails at scrabble. Thank you for your hospitality uncle George, and for the wonderful memories.

Priceless

The old barn by our home will soon be destroyed for the construction of a Catholic School. Each time I drive by, I grin to see that it is still standing. Thankfully, my kids obliged when I asked to take them there for some up-to-date pictures. The weather was gorgeous, the kids were cooperative, and the final images were priceless. You will see a lot more of this picture-perfect backdrop as Senior Sessions are being booked.
