Benefit Concert featuring 4 Mile
The up-and-coming, local band 4 Mile will be performing a benefit concert to help raise money for the Shriners Hospitals for Children next Friday! It will be a show you don’t want to miss, and an opportunity to give back to an organization that provides much needed services to children around the country. Everyone is invited, and anyone can come! Bring your family AND your friends.
Tickets are $5.00 at the door.
If you need another reason to attend this concert besides the great music and the chance to help a great cause, A Modern Focus is excited to be donating a Portrait Package ($200 value) for the raffle drawing during the Benefit Concert on May 13th! You must attend the concert and purchase a raffle ticket to be entered into the drawing, which will be held during the intermission. The more tickets you buy, the more chances you have to win the portrait package or some of the other prizes being offered!

Friends Session (sneak peek) | Huntington, WV Portrait Photographer
Last Saturday, we met up with Natasha, Natalie and Alli for a mini Friends Session at Ritter Park. It was a beautiful day!! No rain + nice breeze +warm temperatures = awesome weather for a session. Even in the short time I got to spend with the girls, we captured a little bit of how much fun they have hanging out with each other. I’m sure once Summer arrives the fun will really begin! Whether you’re 14 or 40, friendships are something that should be celebrated! Here are a few sneak peek images from their session.
Lila: Class of 2011 | Huntington, WV Senior Portrait Photographer
We recently meet up with Lila, a Huntington High School senior, for an Ultimate Senior Session. Patrick and I had the pleasure of photographing Lila at Saddle Ridge Farm for day one of her portrait session. Even though rain was in the forecast, we managed to finish up the day without feeling a single drop. Lila was so easy to work with and her great personality made our jobs super easy. To see images from both days of Lila’s Ultimate Session head over to AMF Seniors.
CJ: Class of 2011 | Huntington, WV Senior Portrait Photographer
Last weekend, Patrick and I meet CJ for his senior portrait session at Ritter Park. The weather was great! Okay, it was a bit chilly, but we had a great time working with CJ.

The Gregg’s Portrait Session | Huntington, WV Maternity Photographer
Updated with more images! This week has been busier than expected, so I’m a bit late posting a sneak peek from last Saturday’s maternity session. Last Saturday was a pretty dreary day, but I had a blast with The Greggs, photographing mom-to-be and documenting a bit of family time before their new addition arrives next month. Check back soon for more from The Gregg’s portrait session!

…and baby makes three

Happy Birthday, Nerissa!
Last weekend, Patrick and I attended the 8th birthday of Miss Nerissa at Roll-a-Rama. It’s been years since I’ve been on roller skates so I played it safe and just took pictures. The birthday girl and her guests had a blast skating and dancing and eating delicious cupcakes. Here are a few images from Nerissa’s birthday bash!
Now you see it, now you don’t…
Big Sis, Natasha, and some friends take a quick break from skating…
Check out the cool trick Nerissa mastered by the end of the day!

New session!
Friendships are an important part of life, and Patrick and I are excited to offer a new session for our clients to help illustrate just that, with the “Just Because…we’re Friends!” Session.

Or maybe you and your friends have been best buds for over 20+ years…booking a Friend Session would be an excellent way to express your lasting bond.
Custom photography sessions can allow you to create images you’ll treasure forever. Contact us today for more information about booking a session today.
Just because…they’re friends
I’ve been toying with the idea of offering a Friends Session for a while, but needed a couple of test subjects. Evan and Molly came to the rescue! They have been friends for years and were perfect for the session. A couple weeks ago, I met up with Evan and Molly for a quick photo shoot and had a great time photographing them. Keep a look out for more information on the Friends Session in the next few weeks! Thanks guys for putting up with extreme heat/humidity and giving me some great images! Here are a few shots from their session…

Meet Austin: Class of 2011 Senior Rep
A little over a week ago, Patrick and I meet up with Austin, our Wayne High School senior rep for his session. It was a late afternoon session in Lavalette. There was the threat of thunderstorms that day, but luck was on our side again and we didn’t get any rain. I found out after the session that Austin doesn’t normally like his picture taken, but I could not tell at all…he was so relaxed and did an awesome job!

As you know, the weather has been H-O-T and it was definitely hot during Alyson’s session, but we did get a few breezes that helped cool us off a bit. Alyson is very sweet and a pleasure to work with…To see more images from her session, click the image below!

Kristin + Eric: Married
Kristin and Eric were married on July 3rd, 2010 in front of an intimate gathering of close friends and family at the Huntington House. We had a great time documenting Kristin and Eric’s special day and meeting some of their family and friends. It turned out that the sister of the Groom was a classmate of mine from elementary school! It is a small world. Patrick and I only spent a couple hours with the couple, but it was clear to see how happy Kristin and Eric make each other. We wish you guys the best!
Here are a few images from their day…
Meet Alyssa: Class of 2011 Senior Rep
Last Saturday, we got to photograph Alyssa, our Senior Rep at St. Joseph High School. We managed to beat the heat that day with an early morning photo session. Alyssa was up for just about anything, which made my job super easy. Click the image below to see more images from Alyssa’s session.
