Military Portraits | Virginia Portrait Photographer

Where do I start?… How can we ever repay military families for what they do?  Their sacrifice goes beyond anything that could ever be paid monetarily.  What they do for our country is amazing.  We have the opportunity to photograph many military families that are on the cusp of deployment that includes a family separation.  These days families are separated for 8+ months and longer.  Generally we photograph these families 1 month prior to their deployment.  While photographing these families, my mind is always reeling about the family that will be left behind.  Meet the O’Connor family.  Amazing people, amazing family, amazing sacrifice.

WPPI 2012 | Virginia Portrait Artist | Virginia Wedding and Destination Photographer

We have spent most of February out speaking at different venues, in different states, and before many photographers sharing how we do what we do.  We have traveled from Florida to Arizona all in a short 29 days.  We love the opportunity to hit the road and share about our photographic experience.  Since the photographic industry has changed from photography film to digital, there are many changes that have been made in the way that we shoot, process and market.  One of our stops in the month of February, was in Las Vegas, speaking at our national photography conference called WPPI.  WPPI’s (Wedding and Portrait Photographers International) attendance is generally 12,000 – 15,000 attracting photographers from all over the globe, so to be able to share there is an honor.  This year we shared about wedding photography, both stateside and international, and about senior high photography . Thank you WPPI and H&H for the opportunity to share! Here are a few shots from the day.  You can tell how passionate we are about sharing.  It seems that every shot we have our mouths open!~

Shutterbug Magazine | Virginia Senior Portraits

It’s always a real honor to be published, but to be published in a national magazine like Shutterbug, is a REAL honor.  We have had many opportunities to share our story, business tips and images with the world for many styles of our photography, but this time Shutterbug Magazine focused on Senior Portraits.  The title of the article “High School Senior Photography…Four Top Photographers Share Tales of the Craft” was a article that partnered us with other leading senior photographers in the industry.  It is a blessing just to be named with the rest of these in the article. Thank you to Shutterbug and thank you to Steve Bedell that saw something in us and believed in us and wanted to highlight us in this article.  Thank you also to our amazing clients that allow us to document their lives.  Without you guys, we are nothing.  If you would like to see more of our senior portrait work, please hop on over to our website.
