The View

If it's a beautiful sunny day, there's almost always a group of white sailboats out on the harbor. This day, though, they were joined by a few colorful boats...

The pictures never do it justice.

You can't hear the wind blowing...

... or the waves hitting the shore...




I love where I live.

In more business related news... September has purposefully been a slow month. I'm taking a bit of a break. Maybe the calm before the storm?

October is shaping up to be VERY busy. Almost all my Saturdays are already booked up...and Sundays are on their way to filling up as well.

Please, if you were interested in booking a session (and using those great Holiday Specials), please don't hesitate any longer... send me an email so I can get you in before they expire mid-November!

I have a fun family shoot scheduled for this weekend... so beautiful families coming soon!

Until next time,

Yorktown Riverwalk

Earlier this summer, the family and I ventured down to Yorktown's Riverwalk to have some Ben & Jerry's and walk along the beach... it is a beautiful area and I can't wait to go back! I want to go on the weekends when they have their Farmer's Market...



This was taken right before dusk...

Hope all is well!

Until next time,

Night

The other night, around 10, we heard a knock on the door... DJ and I both looked at each other... who could be at the door that late?

It was our awesome neighbor. All excited she says, "Look at the moon! Tell Kassia to get her camera and take some pictures!!!"

Hahaha.

Like you'd have to ask me twice.

So I grabbed the camera... and the tripod... and here you have it:


(85mm, ISO 400, f/7.1, 2.5s)


...and then I made DJ be my guinea pig...

(85mm, ISO 400, f/7.1, 10s)

I used the auto timer and then yelled... "Dooon't move! dooon't move... don't-move-don't-move-don't-move-don't-mooooove........... okay. done!" hahaha.

Until next time,

Ft. Monroe Marina

The other day before a shoot, I arrived a bit early (I swear...it wasn't that I took a wrong turn and happened upon this place...it was totally planned. Totally) and grabbed a few shots of this little marina. I love early morning light and water...





So beautiful :)

Until next time...

Photo of the Day: Last Night

It was gorgeous yesterday. The weather was perfect and warm and wonderful.

DJ and I were sitting on our teeny little brick porch (more like steps) around 9 or so and I looked up and the moon and the clouds and the reflection on the water all just came together... in such a way that... ohmigod-where's-the-camera-I-hope-it's-not-upstairs-in-the-bedroom-where-the-baby's-sleeping-I-must-find-the-camera-don't-you-understand?!... occurred. Sigh.



Alas, the cold, rainy, dreary weather is back. But this... this was nice :)

Until next time,

Photo of the Day: SNOW!

There's something about a peaceful snowfall that makes me smile.

When we woke up early this morning there was a fresh layer of powdery snow on the ground... after breakfast and after DJ went off to work, I snapped a few quick pictures and then sat in the rocking chair in front of our big picture window with my cup of coffee and watched it fall.

I think Trey summed it up best when he looked outside and gasped, "Aawwessomme!"




All our friends around the southeast, I know you're enjoying this too :)

Photo of the Day: Sky

I was standing outside the other day and happened to look up just when there were about 6 contrails in the sky... it was a cold, crisp day so you could even see the airplanes at the head of the trails, even the little teeny one that must have been tens of thousands of feet up. It just looked so awesome. I stared and thought to myself, "Gee, I wish I had my camera..."

Then I started twitching a little... then a little more... then I dropped everything and ran inside to find the camera. Like I always say, it's a disease folks.

Well by the time I got back outside, it wasn't nearly as cool as before... the contrails had dissipated, so I didn't get that shot, but the sky to the east was still streaked with some really cool clouds. See...



It's almost Friday! Joy!

Photo of the Day: Dusk

I love it when the light is just leaving the sky...and everything is that nice shade of lavender tinged with gold...

Specifically, I love when the sun hits the bridge or the port on the other side of the bay and it looks like it's been highlighted with a deep gold marker. It's just breathtaking.

Tonight I was sitting at my dining room table exhausted beyond belief, looked up, and saw the most amazing clouds outside. I grabbed the camera...



...and here ya have it.

I love my house. I love where I live.

Up next, Lisa's pics!!
