Baby Bree :)

The proud parents of Abrielle Lorenn Coles (seriously, the cutest baby on earth!)

End of Summer :(

Yay! Sonya (the bff and fellow photographer) was back in town and thus lots of picture taking ensued. The visit was short, but I was able to tag along at two photo sessions. One session was for the beautiful bride, Shelly Wingo. Unfortunately for you, her wedding is not until December so for obvious reasons I will NOT be posting her photos until the wedding day. However, our other photo session involved an extremely adorable newborn, Abrielle Lorenn Coles. These photos, on the other hand are coming soon. You should be excited, because I sure am!

A Summer in Photographs (:

Florida!








My baby sisters prom!




Fourth of July




New York Weekend (:

Daniel and Rachel's Engagement Session!

hello hello.

It has been a little while. As promised, the mother's day photos are HERE! :) Haha, this week has been a little crazy as I'm attempting to take organic chemistry this summer. Not how you would spend your summer? ...yeah...I don't know what I was thinking!!! Hopefully I'll have enough time to fit in photography!

What a weekend!

Ah. The stress of finals are OVER! Too bad in a week, eight weeks of organic chemistry start. But I am so thankful to be home for a week! Sonya, my best friend and amazing and talented photographer, is also here for a few days to move. I know it's hard for her to be away from her hubby, Steven, but I am excited for girl time!

So much has already happened in the past few days! Friday, it was Christopher and I's one year. He surprised me with a canoe ride down to our favorite waterfall. :) We picnicked near the waterfall and he brought Taste of Thai. yumm. Talk about a photo opportunity! It was beautiful.





Saturday was my sister's senior prom. awwww. Her and her boyfriend were adorable. Hope (my sister) wore a beautiful purple dress and I was able to be her personal paparazzi for the day. Sonya joined me a little later and we got some great shots before they went and danced the night away!





After they were off, I shadowed Sonya at a family portrait session. What a family. :) They had just one son, about age two, who was a character. They were a beautiful family and I got a few really great photos to help build my portfolio!





Sunday was of course, Mother's Day! Christopher was able to come to NOVA for church and he spent the day with my family and I. :) We went into downtown Warrenton for dinner at the Black Bear Bistro with my parents, sisters, grandparents, and boyfriend. It was fantastic. We were even able to get some family pictures downtown. However, I haven't gotten around to putting them on my computer. But trust me, you WILL see them :) ... soon!!


Phew. What a weekend. I am so glad to be home!

Graduation Photos! :D

Editing is all done!! eee!! Unfortunately, finals are not. :( So the whole trying to not let photography distract me was a bust... On the bright side, I'm really happy with the way the photos turned out!! The session was with a group of seniors from James Madison who graduate SATURDAY! Congratulations girls! It's strange to think that in just one year, I'll be in their shoes!

Here are some of my favorites! (To see more, check out sonyaruthphotography.com and click on charity's gallery!)
