*Toot Toot*

That's the sound of me tooting my own horn... but I wanted to write a post to celebrate! My tulip photo (now the main image at the top of the blog) won second place in the Charlottesville Photography Meetup Group's annual photography contest! There were dozens of really beautiful and interesting pictures entered, and I'm really flattered. Thanks to the CPMG and to Pro Camera for supplying the prizes.

Sweethearts

Mart and Maia

Martyn and Maia have plenty of reasons to celebrate, not the least being their first real home together here in the States and the issuance of their official marriage license! I asked if I could come take advantage of their newlywed glow for some portraits and they gladly accepted.

More to follow!

Danielle

When Danielle actually stops fussing about me taking her picture, she can be pretty cute. Such a nice smile on that little whippersnapper!

Arranged a just-for-fun shoot with my friend Maia this weekend to get to know my 50mm lens a little better. More posts to follow. :)
