Wedding: Sara + James at UVa Chapel & Alumni Hall in Charlottesville

catthrasher — Mon, 23 Apr 2012 18:18:40 +0000

James is an old friend from my UVa days. While at UVa, he briefly attended Clown School. We all knew this because, on the wall of his room in the fraternity house where he lived, he had hanging his diploma, explicitly stating his graduation from the school. This fact alone made me love him dearly! He & Sara could not be a sweeter match. I felt lucky to be able to shoot their wedding & meet up with all of our old mutual friends who attended their wedding. Such a great group of people.

They were married at UVa Chapel and the reception was at UVa Alumni Hall in Charlottesville. We shot a few rolls of medium format black & white film for this wedding. Below are a few of my favorites, both digital and film!

Hair: Daphne Latham
Wedding Coordinator: MJ Events
Cake: Albemarle Baking Company
Venue: UVA Chapel & Alumni Hall
DJ: All About the Music
Caterer: The Catering Outfit

Cute Baby Portraits from the April 14th Fab Five

I photographed this mama while her little one was still in the womb! Such a cute baby.

This family reserved two fab five slots, so they got a 10 minute session and received up to 20 pictures!

Close Friends, A Man’s Portrait: James in Film

James is married to Jackie. The two are so darn gorgeous, that the only question I’m asking is: when are you two having kids?? We need some gorgeous kids to oogle at, people!

This is part of the Close Friends Project, and was shot using medium-format film.

These kids have been my clients for years, and even though they don’t live in Charlottesville, they found a way to make it into town for a Fab Five session – how fun! I’ve loved seeing them grow over the years.

The next Fab Five Day is this Saturday, April 14th. Stop by after your trip to the Charlottesville City Market to get 5 pictures in 5 minutes & eat $5 of cupcakes for $85! Visit the Fab Five page to sign up, space is limited!

Lulu at Pippin Hill Farm

Lulu loves Pippin Hill. Especially the grassy knoll overlooking the mountains: every time we set her down on that grass, she starts running and laughing hysterically. Who knew that a 12 month old could get such a kick out of a mountain view?

Here are a few shots taken on a beautiful March day, using a Hasselblad 500C and Fuji Acros 100 black & white film.

Close Friends: Joanna’s Portrait in Film

Joanna is one of the smartest, warmest and thoughtful people I’ve ever known. (And she’s a scientist!) We chose one dress and a very special ring for her to wear for her portrait. Both gorgeous and both sentimental to her.

Shot on my new Hasselblad 501CM, using Fuji Neopan Acros 100 and Ilford Delta 3200 film.

Fab Five Thursday: A happy little baby girl’s portrait

catthrasher — Thu, 15 Mar 2012 11:30:56 +0000

This week I am sharing one session a day from this winter’s Fabulous Five Days.

This sweet little baby was pure smiles for all 5 minutes of her Fab Five session. It was the perfect time to take her portrait, not only because she was happy, but also because she isn’t quite crawling yet. When infants start crawling, it becomes more challenging to get their portrait. The perfect window for infant portraits is after they’ve mastered sitting-up, but aren’t quite mobile yet!

Look how happy she is! Don’t these pictures put a huge smile on your face??

Fab Five Wednesday: Portraits with a 2-month-old & Spring/Summer Fab Five Dates Announced!

catthrasher — Wed, 14 Mar 2012 11:30:41 +0000

Quick announcement before moving on to today’s session: Fabulous Five Spring/Summer 2012 dates have been announced! Head on over to the new Fab Five Page to check out the dates and sign up! Space is very limited, and upcoming dates fill up fast, so book as soon as you can to get your time slot of choice.

This adorable family came in asking for a reproduction of an heirloom family portrait. They wanted the exact picture below, with mom looking over her shoulder with baby – a perfect pose for a 2-month-old who can hold his head up but can’t quite sit up on his own yet! And to top it off, this mom is wearing a gorgeous handmade floral dress that she bought in France. Just beautiful.

They also chose to include the baby’s aunt in the photos, which is a fantastic idea for a Fab Five Day session. These 5-minute sessions are especially perfect for grandparents, aunts, or uncles to bring in their grandchildren, nieces & nephews for a quick extended family portrait!
