Branding Session – Doswell, VA

I recently had the honor of photographing the lovely Lara Shannon, of And breathe-intuitive massage and bodywork for a super fun branding session!  I sent her my styling and clothing guide for inspiration and she completely KNOCKED. IT. OUT. OF. THE. PARK!  I may or may not have audibly shrieked…. okay, so maybe I did… when I saw her outfits on the hanger, but it was totally justified.  I mean, take a look at some of the images from her gallery!

Branding sessions are meant to represent you, your inner spirit, and help share your message with the world.  We wanted the images to feel lighthearted, carefree, and peaceful, and there was no more perfect place than this gorgeous field at sunset to photograph this beautiful lady!  Make sure you check out her place in Ashland, VA!

Reeves family pictures

I was bored last week and knew the weather was going to be nice, so I offered a cheap mini-shoot to the first couple people to message me on my Facebook page (which I do every so often, so go become a fan!). Carey posted almost immediately that she wanted in, so I had her family out a few nights ago. They are a wild bunch! They brought along their two kids as well as their 3 boxers and it was a fun chaos.

The kids and I (of course, being as mature as I am) giggled pretty much the whole time as we tried to get the dogs to cooperate. It was funny. There was just so much new stuff for them to look at. Horses, cows, cat, horse poop!

They were so cute and the kids were so sweet too. The weather was really nice and although we didn’t get the sunset until it was almost dark (phooey), it was still a great evening for a quick little photo shoot. Photographing pets can be a little tricky since they move so fast, especially if they’re in a new setting, but I love a challenge and I love meeting people’s pets 🙂

Here’s a few more photos from their shoot.  Enjoy!
