Photography Class begins tonight

The photography class begins tonight...8:00 - 9:30 at my studio in Toano...110-A Depot Street, Toano, VA 23168.  

Directions from Williamsburg:

Take Richmond Road (Route 60) towards Toano.  You'll see Equilibrium, a work out place, on the right hand side.  Turn right on Depot Street, which is the first right after Equilibrium.  (The Corner Tack Shop is also at the corner of Depot Street and Richmond Road.)  Turn into the 2nd driveway on the right.  We don't have a sign out yet, but it's a 2 story white house behind a 1 story white house.  All lights will be on.  Please call me on my cell at 757.849.8566 if you need any help!

Photography Class begins next Thursday

Since we've been in New York and North Carolina in the past 2 weeks, the photography class will not begin tonight...  The class will begin next Thursday and more information will be posted this afternoon about it....

St. Nick is coming to Capture This Moment Photografie!!

The first week of December, St. Nick will be here.  Come join us for a private sitting with him over some hot chocolate and cookies.  We'll be doing a promo shoot next Monday with a handful of lucky families who were lucky enough to be the first to respond to our e-mail.  Not on our e-mail list?  Just send us a quick e-mail and we'll add you.  We'll be starting an online newsletter soon, but for now, we're a bit old fashioned.  Just like St. Nick....  Details regarding dates and prices will follow soon...

The MacGregor Family

I'm finally feeling like I'm getting caught up!  The leaves here in Williamsburg are beginning to turn.  When we get back from New York on Sunday, I'm sure there will be more color sprouting around.  But the color couldn't have been any more perfect for Miss Q if I had planned it myself.  Our session was pretty much done when the kids climbed on a woodpile in Colonial Williamsburg.  And this image is the result...  And as far as the Fife and Drum Corps, I have William to thank!  He was leading the corps down Duke of Gloucester Street.  The kids already had their coats on to go home.  When I saw them coming, the jackets flew off and we ran down the street, not sure if they were even coming all the way to us.  They stopped in front of us and the black and white image below is the result.  Thanks William!! (I shot his and Carrie's wedding - dig deep into the blog - in June and some of their images should still be here!)  And the last image is one of my favorites from this fall.  Completely unplanned (down to that lone leaf!) and of course with Miss Q...completely perfect!!

Sara

I told you I'm behind...

You may have already met Sara, but in case you haven't, you can meet her here...

She recently graduated from William & Mary and we're glad to have her on board!

New York Portrait Sessions - October 23 -26, 2008

Did I mention we're going to New York?  I'm really excited!!  Usually, when we take a trip, it's either to visit family or work related.  And this one is no different...a photo conference.  I'm actually skipping the conference and just going to the trade show to play.  And I have 3 portrait sessions while we're there!  But the rest of the time, I'm just going to wander with camera in hand.  No agenda.  No timeline.  Just wandering.  I rarely get to do this, so I'm really, really excited!  I'm taking notes from everyone I meet on where I should be sure to go...

Mademoiselles...adorable!

I don't know why I'm in love with hats so much, but I just am.  I never wear them, but they're so fun.  I guess I feel like everyone is staring at me when I wear one.  And I don't want to be noticed.  And here's proof....who wouldn't stop to look at these cute mademoiselles??!

Mr. Happy

I swear he's always smiling!  Except when he's tired or hungry...  I wish I could bottle the sweetness up and keep it forever!!!  But alas...one day he will be taller than me and these sweet days will be but memories...

Catching Up!

I know, I know...I'm really far behind!  September just kind of disappeared with school starting and me working full time now.  I don't know what to call myself anymore.  Since I had kids, I've been a work at home mom.  But now that I go to the studio to work, the 2 younger ones come with me.  So who knows what my title is.  A take-your-kids-to-work kind of mom.  I don't know...

Anyways, here are some of the little cherubs who paid me a visit last week.  And I promise to post some from all of the recent sessions!!  

For anyone looking to book a session this fall...call or e-mail soon.  I have a few openings on Saturdays before the leaves are expected to fall completely off and the weather turns chilly.  Mid week is a lot more flexible.

Little Miss Inquisitive

It's always amazing to see how much a child grows in such a short time.  When I first met Little Miss Inquisitive, she was just really tiny...I think less than 2 months.  And now she's almost ready to walk.  It was fun to see images of her previous sessions on the wall at their house!
