Tweedy Family

Mary called us up on a referral from one of her coworkers and we're so glad she did! Her family owns an unbelievable farm south of Lynchburg and it was nothing short of amazing. Old barns, tall grass, and beautiful views of the area were in abundance. It was like a photographers dream location! Thankfully she asked us ahead of time what we would be driving as the road to get back in there was a bit rough and required a 4-wheel drive vehicle. So we met at Carter's Store (which, by the way, was awesome and has been around since the late 1800's), loaded up in their ride, and headed to the farm for what turned out to be a terrific session!

Mason Family - Portrait Session

The Mason family called us up on a referral from their neighbor who we did family pictures for last year. You all know how beautiful the Virginia weather is in the fall, right? Well, as it just so happened, we were happily enjoying this great weather until the day of their session came and the wind decided to pick up and the temperature dropped noticeably. I know many families who, under these circumstances, would opt to reschedule...but not this family! Instead they opened a can of awesome sauce and completely blew us away with a great time photographing them in their backyard and over at a friend's house. We left the session on such a high that we found ourselves already looking forward to the next time we get to photograph them!

There was a lot of laughing and huddling, smiling and shivering, and good old fashioned fun throughout the shoot. We hope you guys enjoy some of our favorites!









There's that laughter and fun I was talking about




And the smiles












As well as the shivering and huddling when it wasn't their turn!


They've got the serious look down pretty well...


...but don't let them fool you, they're all smiles too!

Megan - Senior Session

Meet Megan, class of 2010 at Amherst High School! We met Megan, her mom, and her friend for a relaxed portrait session in downtown Lynchburg. For those of you that know us or have commissioned us for one of your sessions, you know that we like to climb all over the place to find just the right perspective on a lot of our shots. Lets just say that there was a minor mishap involving an iron grate and I ended up quasi-impaling myself! Thankfully the adrenaline kicked in and didn't affect the rest of the session. The next day I was sure feeling it though!

But alas, I digress, this post is for you Megan! We enjoyed getting to know you and taking a stroll through Lynchburg to capture your senior year for you. We hope you enjoy some of our favorites from the session!

Olivia - Senior Session

Olivia is the younger sister of David, whose Senior pictures we did last year. It was really enjoyable to work with them in the past, so we were very excited when Olivia's mom called us up again this fall to schedule Olivia's senior pictures. (Plus the accent is smashing!)

We had never met Olivia before, but within the first 10-15 milliseconds of introductions we knew this was going to turn out to be a great session. We actually had to push the date back a few times as Olivia runs Cross Country for Jefferson Forest High School, and wouldn't you know it they did so well they went all the way to state! So we waited until that was over, and then took advantage of the comfortable fall weather while it was still here.

Throughout the afternoon we enjoyed getting to know her little better. Not only is she beautiful but she has a very pleasant personality and was up for just about anything that we asked her to do during the day. We hope you enjoy a few of our favorite images from your session. And enjoy the rest of your senior year!
