wanna buy 5 copies for my mother! | published

I have been waiting SO LONG to write this blog post! I teased a little bit on facebook here and there... not to be mean, but because I was SQUEALING on the inside and I really couldn't SAY what was going on......... until now! Friends... this may be one of my biggest accomplishments to date. I am extremely proud and excited to share with you that I had some of my work published in O Magazine. As in, The Oprah Magazine. Yes. I am still trying to process the whole thing myself... so, so surreal.

As I mentioned previously, I had the lovely opportunity to photograph Kim Sorenson from the Omniterrum located in downtown Lynchburg. She was a treat to photograph and her globes... oh the globes! Amazing collectibles... I am already intrigued enough by historical maps, but putting them on globes just makes the experience of traveling with your fingers so much more gratifying!

I posted about some of my pictures of Kim being published in the June issue of Bella Magazine. That was super exciting for me! But, when O magazine contacted me about using some of Kim's recent head shots for a feature they were doing on her, I was beyond thrilled and a little bit in shock. :) Not to mention SO excited for Kim as well!

Okay, so enough about my shock and awe... check out the evidence for yourself... and go find a copy to read the article about Kim!

Published | Lynchburg Commercial Photographer

I am honored to share that I have had some of my commercial work published in the June issue of Bella Magazine. Let me tell you, it is super fun to pick up a publication only to see your work gracing the pages of it! June was Bella's Travel issue and I had a really fun time both at the Royal Tea Party as well as working with Kim from the Omniterrum in downtown Lynchburg. Be sure to grab the latest issue of Bella before it is replaced by the July issue to see some of my commercial work and read the fun and informative articles about traveling around the world! And stay tuned for some August publication announcements coming up in mid-July. I am SO very excited about them! :)

mrs. mary | lynchburg wedding photographer

I am knee-deep into wedding season and have a bazillion and one things to blog about. But first up, I have been super excited to blog about Mary's bridal portraits since 5 minutes after we finished her session back in early May! She married her sweetheart, Chris, this past Saturday so I can finally share my favorites from her session. Without further ado...

Angela | Fredericksburg Wedding Photographer

Angela was an absolutely stunning bride both during her bridal session and of course also on her wedding day. Here are a few of my favorite images from her bridal session a few weeks ago. Come back soon for the sneak peek of her and Doug's wedding that happened just this past Saturday!

Crystal George | Lynchburg Portrait Photographer

Meet my new friend, Crystal. Crystal has been a photographer here in Lynchburg for quite some time. While I had heard of her and seen her work, we had never connected before a few months ago. Enter Hill City Bride and the style shoot. Crystal came on as a part of the project management team when we were in need of someone who could draw (very) well. Crystal is an artist through and through, in fact she used to paint portraits before she was a photographer. I love that she was simply moving from one art medium to another when she decided to start shooting professionally. It is one of the things I respect about her (of many).

We got together a few weeks ago to shoot some new headshots. Below are a few of my favorites from our quick session together. She is as beautiful on the inside as she is on the outside. :)

You can check out some of the pictures she took of me over on her blog.

I love her messy hair in that last pic!
