Tori-Senior Portraits

Met with Tori for a wonderful session in Pungo. Pungo is the a great rustic part of Virginia Beach with great history and lots of fields and farms to go with it. Which makes a great location to go grunge or be one with nature.

I believe everyone has many God given beautiful gifts about themselves.  I also believe it is my job to accentuate those gifts.  While Tori is gorgeous she also has some amazing gifts of giving and talant.  Her look could be mistaken for an early 20th century actress. I get a kick out of  the fact that a few days after her photo shoot she shaved off all her hair to help raise money for a friend. It’s that confidence that I think shines through in her images.






Next up the beach! 

I love the fact that she wasn’t afraid to get wet and sandy! It allows for a better sense of creativity and energy to flow through the portraits. I had to post that last image! You would think this was a “Trash the Senior Dress” session with the way that big wave drenched her down. She was such a good sport!

Beauty on the Beach at Sandbridge!

Senior Session with Danieall! I gave out a sneek to the sneek preview last week on my flickr and facebook pages. Here is the rest of that not so pre pre-view!
We decided Sandbridge Beach at little Island Park would be a great place for these beautiful Senior Portraits.

Danieall was a great model as we tried some shots a little more on the creative and fun side. Senior's should be offered something a bit more original!
Trendy and relaxed to bring out who they really are! Danieall brought grace and style with it!




I loved how this image turned out. Looks so good in Black and White!




We also had a great time getting a little more playful in the water. Of course not knowing what kind of surprises headed her way in the waves. Just as she was leaning back one caught her. But overall that one shot is my favorite. Full of enthusiasm and her natural self.













Congratulations Danieall on your Graduation!

Seniors Countdown!

For all those seniors who still want a great portrait tune in...
It's never too late!

Jamaal's Senior Portraits

Congratulations to Jamaal and the Class of 2009!


Since Jamaal lives so close to the beach we decided to do these Senior Portraits there as well as a nearby park. They turned out great. These are a sneak peak at my favorites! Great job Jamaal.
