To all of our friends, family, couples and clients – we wish you a safe, fun, and relaxed holidays.

We’ve included a few “outtakes” of the holiday card shoot. Oh, and she didn’t pout and she didn’t cry. Annie’s first trip to see the Legendary Santa was a thrill for us and she had a fantastic time. I believe what she asked for was something like..”Dhhhrkkaaah”. New car? Drink More? Maybe when she’s a little older we’ll find out what that means. Until then…Enjoy.

Greg and Sarah came to us through a Choice Entertainment function and we immediately hit it off. They said “We want it fun, funny, and relaxed.” What do you think I said? Exactly. So, we started at Cathedral of the Sacred Heart, ran all over Richmond in a “limo” (party van), and ended at the Willow Oaks Country Club. Four photographers in all covering almost an entire day and it was a blast. Thank you, both of you, for reminding us at the end of a wonderful and exhausting wedding season that there’s fun to be had. Also, thanks to Jenn Barnett for amazing help and for flying all the way from Minneapolis to be with us. A great photographer and friend, for sure. Enjoy!

It’s such a joy to get to meet and photograph such a fun and caring family that we almost get caught up in the event. We were laughing and smiling so much at times we had to remember to keep taking pictures! The ceremony was at Beth Ahabah with the reception at the Hermitage Country Club. Thank you so much to Zach and the entire Weiss family for being such a pleasure to work with. Enjoy!

The last few days of the build were hectic, but mercifully warmer. The chaos of building now switched to the interior of the house and to the finishing touches. I spent a deal of time maneuvering through teams of contractors as they rushed to finish the house before the family returned and the big reveal. “Move That Bus!!” signs started to pop up in the crowd of onlookers and regional media began arriving. As before, the images of the on-air talent and of the finished house can’t be published until air time, but there were so many little details that I’m happy to share.

I want to give another big thank you to all of the contractors, the crew from Lock and Key productions, and the thousands of volunteers who showed up to work, clean up, and just cheer on with excitement.

A special thanks to Ken Broadwater Homes for making me a part of their family for the week (and for the RV space for catching up on sleep) as well as the folks at The Mad Hatter in Farmville, VA. Without Wes and Helena Edwards putting my name out there, I never would have been a part of such a wonderful experience.

Enjoy the images…
