Kelly Family Portraits

 I just finished up my latest portrait gallery of this sweet little family. I was lucky enough to spend an awesome afternoon with the Kellys. Their daughter certainly stole the show. What a cutie pie!!

The little family is growing. The Kellys are expecting a new bundle of joy in 2013! Congratulations Kelly family!! And thank you for the opportunity to capture your memories!

Autumn Splendor

"Every leaf speaks bliss to me, fluttering from the Autumn tree."

~Emily Bronte

 "No spring nor summer beauty hath such grace as I have seen in one autumnal face."

~John Donne

 "Autumn is a second spring, when every leaf's a flower."

~Albert Camus

"Autumn, the year's last lovliest smile."

~William Cullen Bryant

"Just before the death of flowers, and before they are buried in snow, 

there comes a festival season, when nature is all aglow."

~Author Unknown

"Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking successive autumns."

~George Eliot

“Fall has always been my favorite season. The time when everything bursts with its last beauty, as if nature had been saving up all year for the grand finale.” 

~Lauren DeStafano

“I loved autumn, the one season of the year that God seemed to have put there just for the beauty of it.” 

~Lee Maynard

"Thy bounty shines in autumn unconfined, and spreads a common feast for all that live."

~James Thomson

"Besides the autumn poets sing,

A few prosaic days

A little this side of the snow

And that side of the haze."

~Emily Dickinson

"Winter is an etching, spring a watercolor, summer an oil painting and autumn a mosaic of them all."

~Stanley Horowitz

Senior Shoot

This gorgeous young woman is a graduating senior from Smithfield High School. She is quite talented both in school and on stage as a ballerina. I was thrilled to take her senior portraits and can't wait to see what the future holds for her. With all that talent, beauty and such a warm heart, she's sure to go far!

I had a blast with this fun crew last week. We found a beautiful Japanese Garden to explore. It was overcast and a little chilly, but as you can see, we managed to capture some fun moments. Thank you Stott Family!

That Golden Fall Glow!

I love the soft warm color of the setting sun this time of year. I took full advantage of it as I captured these image just the other day.
