The leaves were not yet out at #Greenspring Garden

The leaves were not yet out at #Greenspring Gardens for this session (this was a couple weeks ago so I'm sure it looks completely different now) , so I'm so happy she wore this amazing dress and had that radiant smile! #virginiaseniorphotographer #northernvirginiaseniorportraits #northernvirginiaseniorphotography

We purchased this book for our daughter - who left

We purchased this book for our daughter - who left it behind while at college. I have started reading it and have been inspired.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
One of our recent podcast episodes, Terri #mixingupmidlife, and I discussed among other things, the idea of "failing forward," learning and growing from our failures. How interesting that this book has an entire chapter titled "Artists Don't Fail" - of course tounge-in-cheek. The author writes "when it comes to creativity, failure is as inevitable as it is unavoidable."⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This gives me reassurance that maybe my failures aren't just moving me forward, but also proving that I'm an artist (aren't we all?) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
For all of you out there who have failed. I'm so proud of you - because I know that means you have been creative, productive and put yourself out there. Learn from mistakes and keep moving ahead! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Attention Realtors: Why are my branding photo ses

I have thought about why I love senior photography

I have thought about why I love senior photography as much as I love branding photography and I realize now it's because they are so similar! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Before my branding sessions I take the time to talk with my clients and learn more about them as an entrepreneur and a person, we discuss the feel of the shots, and that determines the location, the styling, the clothing and props.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Before my senior sessions I also take the time to talk with my clients and I learn more about what they are passionate about, what their personality is, and that that determines the location, the style, the posing and we discuss outfits as well.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So really...senior sessions ARE personal branding sessions! We project your authentic personality in your shots! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Women 50+ should we podcast?
You BET! We have unique perspectives, stories and voices. Don’t let anyone tell you that your voice doesn’t matter.
My oldest BFF and I have a podcast, Mixing Up Midlife where we encourage and discuss women over 50 to be brave, seek out adventures, and challenge ourselves. In our most recent podcast we talk about the why, when and how of OUR podcasting journies. I encourage anyone to take the leap into podcasting if it calls to you.

I was so happy to work with this interior designer

I was so happy to work with this interior designer who was giving her website a reboot with new branding images. Shooting on location is always fun and her work is so elegant - I believe the images brought out her elegance as well! Her website is InspiredDesign.com.
