First Homecoming

AJ — Sun, 09 Oct 2011 19:30:23 +0000

Yesterday was one of Patrick’s niece’s first homecoming dances and I swung by Ritter Park to take a few pictures. Anyone in the Huntington area knows that Ritter Park is the place to go for pre-dance pictures and yesterday was no exception. It was a MADHOUSE because there were at least three homecomings taking place yesterday: Wayne High School, Spring Valley High School, and Huntington High School.

Natasha is a freshman at Wayne High School and meet up with several of her friends at Ritter before the dance. She looked beautiful! After taking some pictures I got out of the madness, but I have to admit it is fun to see all of the pretty dresses and how excited everyone is before their big dance.

Gregg Family Portrait Session

This family might look a little familiar, but something is different. Technically, the cute little addition in the pink dress was at the last portrait session, but she was in her mommy’s belly. I had a great time working with the Gregg family again and was very excited to meet Miss A. Last time, the weather did not cooperate with us, so it was an indoor session but this time around the weather was beautiful! We spent the session outside and captured some family fun. Miss A’s big brother even showed me how he can already write his name! Here are a few images of the adorable Gregg family.

Baby J turns 3! | Huntington, WV Event Photography

AJ — Sun, 18 Sep 2011 04:18:28 +0000

It’s been a long time since our last post…shame on me! I’ve been busy focusing on a couple other things in addition to AMF. I’m helping plan my high school’s 20th reunion and teaching TWO classes at the local community college this semester. So, it’s been all work for quite a while, but last Sunday I had tons of fun documenting Baby J’s 3rd birthday party!

I had a blast watching everyone have fun at this party, so I know the guests had an awesome time. The party had a fun carnival theme complete with cotton candy and popcorn. In addition to all of the fun games, this party had a special appearance from Spongebob Squarepants…Baby J’s favorite cartoon character. (Thank goodness it wasn’t a clown!) The day started with the threat of rain, but turned out to be an awesome day for birthday fun. Take a look at some of the fun we captured at Baby J’s birthday.
