Alex
Another up and coming star, Alex came to us for his executive portrait. He is currently working as a chief of staff to a VP of a large international company. His wife, who accompanied him, said he never looked better.
We agreed. 🙂

Sandi and Chris
Many years ago, Sandi worked in our production department and kept things pretty well taken care of. We were sad to see her go, but glad she has found her niche in life. Sandi is just the sweetest person, and Chris seems so completely devoted to her.
This was a wedding reception for family, friends, and coworkers. Sandi and Chris were married in Jamaica in October, where some close family attended. But being who they are, they wanted to share their joy with everyone else, too.
We were grateful to be on hand to not only share their happiness, but to capture a few portraits and memories to put in one of Sandi’s many (many, many) books.
Charmaine
We do so many personal portraits, that it seems like anyone who needs a brochure or business card photo has to stop here first. Charmaine’s new position with an area bookseller mandated a nice portrait for her sales brochure.
The Ehrenberg Boys
When the boy’s mom called to say there were two young boys to be photographed, I prepared for a rambunctious pair who would challenge both my patience and my skills. But the only patience I needed was for a few jokes.
Apparently the boys have grandparents who are photographers and who live in New York. Being in front of the camera is nothing new to them, and so they were not only cooperative but also helped with many of the poses.
A special pose was done for dad. I won’t show it here, as who knows whether dad is a fan of this blog?
Halloween!
We held a special Halloween Portrait event today, offering up packages for portraits of your wee ones in costume. We got quite a few wee ones, and a couple of not-so-wee ones. We saw astronauts, chickens, and a pirate.
The cute little pirate above, by the way, is my grandson. He’ll be four on November 20. 🙂
Albey
An upcoming Jefferson High graduate, Albey wanted us to take his yearbook photo. He wanted some casual photos, too, but not for this session.
We think he looks pretty good in a tux… yeah?
Witt and Gary’s Ceremony
A lovely time was had by all as Witt and Gary tied the knot at Three Onions restaurant in Shepherdstown. Since Diana and I were also guests, I photographed their intimate ceremony and pictures of very close family and friends. Afterward we had a yummy brunch meal and more laughter and fun.
I don’t think there was a single photo that Witt and Gary didn’t like.
Congratulations, you two!
Witt and Gary
I’m such a romantic.
You know that. If you didn’t, just go with it for a minute.
Friends of ours have not had a good portrait done in awhile, so they called us and said they wanted some pictures down in the park. Okay, says we, and off we go. This was during the midst of the rainy week we had, of course. But for some reason the weather held off.
A sign perhaps?
Witt and Gary are two very lovely people. Warm and caring, generous and kind. They always ask after our family, our friends, and our work. They have even made suggestions about how to improve our newsletter.
Yes, we listened! We’re daft, but not THAT daft!
Diana applied a very nice new process that makes the image look like a sketch… pencil and paper. I think you’ll like it.
Jay
When Jay’s mom called to set up an appointment for his senior portraits, it was like a blast from the past. We used to work with Donna, and befriended her and her family long ago – even before Diana and were married. While her family dynamics have changed a little, Donna has not. She’s still funny, still direct, and still completely devoted to her children.
Jay was a willing subject, even climbing a tree for his photos. I remember Jay when he was about three or four. He could probably climb trees then, too.
Kassidy
So, we often have opportunities to work with seniors who have some ideas of their own, and we welcome that. Kassidy had about six pages of pictures from other photographers she’d seen online. I was happy to recreate some of the ideas I saw in those images for her.
Like so many senior sittings, it started out with Kassidy being a bit reserve. But since she knew she had provided us with a set of ideas, and we mixed in a few of our own, it wasn’t long before we were working quite easily together.
Kassidy’s mom was along on the sitting and suggested that she take her shoes off for the portrait below. It’s that perfect “care free” approach we like to see, and made for one of the most popular of all the portraits.
