This past Saturday morning, I met up with Ellie and her little brother, Mason, for pictures in Fredericksburg, Virginia. This was my fourth shoot with Ellie so she came prepared with all of her favorite outfits, books, toys, and accessories. My kind of girl! We had a great time in Old Mill Park before it got too warm!
My little photogenic 4-legged, furry children love having their picture taken….
I met Owen and Olivia in Myersville today for their portrait shoot. Both Owen and Olivia were Lucy School kids when I taught there so it was so fun to catch up with them and hear all they had been up to this summer!
Summer portraits are coming to a close and it’s almost time to exchange the ice cream cones for apple picking and pumpkin patches!
What an exciting time! SO much is happening at Hough Photography and we’re so excited to share it! Here is the short list of exciting happenings:
* Next week, I am attending a workshop in Pittsburgh with an amazing children’s photographer from Australia and eleven other children’s photographers. We’re spending three days out on a gorgeous farm, photographing kids, getting inspired, and drinking tea (afterall, it’s the Australian way). Email me now to reserve remaining fall dates for your family and children’s portraits!
* In two weeks, we will be launching not one, but TWO brand new websites complete with new logos, updated galleries, and lots of exciting news! Nancy and I are SO pumped to share this with you!
* My photo documentation of the children, spirit, and rebuilding in Liberia, West Africa has been picked up by more galleries! I will share all details as show dates are set because I would love to have all of you at my gallery openings!
* Along the same lines, I am looking into more travel opportunities to create photo journals from around the world. I was recently asked about a project in Haiti to photograph the rebuilding of schools and the children and even though details didn’t work out for this month, it has inspired me to work toward more opportunities like this.
Keep checking back for the latest info! Hough Photography is on the move and we are so happy about the direction we are headed!
Catching fireflies and releasing them back into the night is one of my favorite parts of summer. They are so full of wonder and make every kid smile as each summer day ends and summer night begins. After catching fireflies last night, I took this quick picture.
Kelly and Pepe – Surprise wedding!
Date: Sunday August 1, 2010Posted in: Photography, Wedding Photography
Last night, I photographed my very first SURPRISE wedding! Kelly and Pepe hosted a backyard BBQ and took their guests by surprise when they announced that they would also be getting married right then and there! I described what was happening to my entire family the night before and we all thought it was brilliant (so did everyone in attendance last night). What a perfect day for family, friends, fun, and marriage. Congratulations, Kelly and Pepe!
Last night, I explored Harper’s Ferry with Jen and Dan during their engagement session. What a cute town! For some reason, I had never been in town – just to the parks. I loved the stories they told about their relationship and each other as we walked. We had a fantastic time and I’m so excited for their November wedding.
This morning, I drove down to Alexandria to take family pictures for one of my favorite families from when I taught in Virginia. It was awesome seeing all of them and catching up! Thanks for inviting me down, Terry!
Chelsea and Matt – Middletown, Maryland
Date: Sunday July 25, 2010Posted in: Photography, Wedding Photography
Hottest day of the year + outdoor wedding = STILL the best day ever! I have been looking forward to Chelsea and Matt’s wedding for over a year, since we did their engagement session. It was so incredibly hot outside but we had a great time and it was a beautiful celebration! Congratulations, Chelsea and Matt!
