This was a fun shoot.  I got to do some family portraits for the Sedlar children and they were awesome.  Mom wanted classic B&W images which I did and I also threw in a splash of the shots in color.  I shot these in the studio over the Christmas holiday and they turned out great.  They were shot in the  portrait studio in Richmond, VA.  These are going to make great keepsakes in the Sedlar home.

We recently did some aerial photography for some clients and this was the result. We photographed all sides and tried to create some images with the horizon in the image to show depth and scale. Please let me know if you have any questions or comments.

I was blessed to be able to photograph the Atlee Varsity Volleyball Team. My youngest daughter plays club ball with many of these girls and they are awesome. This is a great group of girls and wonderful parents. It was a quick fun session and I really like the panoramic composite that we came up with to do something different for the girls. All the other professional photographers thought this was really well done and I must agree. My good friend Tom Stiles who is an aerial photographer here in town helped with this as he has a daughter on this team. Not only are they really good volleyball players, they are beautiful too. I hope you enjoy the images as much as I enjoyed creating them.

Once again, I got the opportunity to photograph The Godwin Volleyball Team. This is a great group of girls that two of my daughters have had the good fortune of being part of over the years. These girls are great fun and have great heart. Please enjoy the images.
