I drove past Colin three times looking for a parking spot in Shockoe Slip. I did not know this at the time. At the time, I was too concerned that someone else would steal a spot that was rightfully mine. It was still rush hour and this was becoming an anxious thing – this search [...]
View PostDo you remember, faithful follower? Do you remember these people? They are married now, not a week ago yet – far down in the Mississippi Delta. Wonderful news for them, and thus wonderful for me as well, since I can now post some images from Laura’s bridal portrait session from earlier this Spring. It was [...]

Mary and Allen got married last weekend. Second weddings are typically [...]
View PostJacqueline is an old hand at this. Though it has been a little while, she is something of a staple on this blog. Other than my children, she is the person that I have photographed the most.
