Genevieve Herdegen – Fuqua Class of 2011

Allen — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 22:23:17 +0000

When Allen found out that Genevieve likes hiking, canoeing and outdoor adventures, I knew he would have fun photographing her senior portrait session. With her natural beauty, she fits into just about any surrounding – casual, classic or even vintage. Here are a few of our favorites from her session.

Potekhen-Miller wedding

Molly and Peter

On this very spot, Peter asked Molly to become Mrs. Molly Miller. As you see, she said, “yes,” and on August 7, 2010, their beautiful wedding was celebrated at the Dillard house on Smith Mountain Lake. Thank you to the Potekhens and Millers for having us be a part of your day!

Adam House ACHS Senior

Allen — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 01:46:45 +0000

Last week I had the pleasure of photographing Adam House for his senior portraits. I have been photographing Adam since he was very young boy as part of our “Once Upon A Lifetime” program. Adam has always been very handsome and quite photogenic. When it came time to do some of the location shots we chose his great grandmother’s house. It was as if we were destined to go there since I had planned for another location but when I checked I found out the old building had been torn down. Now when Adam and his family look back on these images they will have even more meaning, since the location holds its own special memories.

Thanks, Adam! For many years I have enjoyed photographing and watching you grow into a fine young man. Thank you, Granny Pat for trusting us with your portrait memories!

Here are a few of my favorites from the session.

Sweet Baby Mallory

Here’s a sneak peek for mom and dad from today’s session. She is playing possum here, she was so excited about her first portraits she could not fall asleep. Mallory is our newest member of “Once upon a lifetime” portrait and album plan. We look forward to capturing her beauty for many years to come. Blessings Mallory!

Baby love

This week we got to meet the newest member of our Once Upon a Lifetime album program. Kenna is three months old and she is completely adorable! The third beautiful daughter in the Schmidt family has brought them much joy already. Here are just a few of our favorite images from the session.

Billie Jo and Chris

Allen — Tue, 27 Apr 2010 14:59:25 +0000

Here are a few of our favorites from Billie Jo and Chris’s wedding this past weekend at Eldon. For over a year now we have had the pleasure of creating images for this fun couple. Thank you, Billie Jo and Chris, and we hope that each time you look at these memories you will be reminded of this special time in your life. May God bless your marriage and your life together!

Kate and Trey

Allen — Thu, 22 Apr 2010 10:55:01 +0000

A favorite mural in the fan district in Richmond makes a great backdrop for this image. It almost seems that the lady in the mural is thinking of a time in her past when she shared a kiss with her man. You can write your own story but the love between Kate and Trey is a beautiful thing. I hope to return to this spot in ten years with Kate and Trey do it all over again, but there may be additions to this scene.

Sweet baby Bethany

Allen — Wed, 31 Mar 2010 00:45:11 +0000

It is always a joy to see young parents enjoying God’s precious gift of a new life. Congratulations Kevin and Allison on the birth of Bethany. I know your love for Bethany will only grow and she will be well loved. Thanks for trusting us to capture these special moments.

Angels (sneak peek)

Allen — Fri, 19 Mar 2010 19:41:53 +0000

While creating an angel portrait this week for Caroline, we had the idea to add her older sister Katie. This was the first time we had ever tried this and we were delighted with the results. I am sure we will be doing this again. If you or someone you know would make a good “angel” please show them this.
