“Corinna’s lute”

When to her lute Corinna sings,
Her voice revives the leaden strings,
And doth in highest notes appear,
As any challenged echo clear;
But when she doth of mourning speak,
E’en with her sighs, the strings do break,


And as her lute doth live or die,
Led by her passion, so must I:
For when of pleasure she doth sing,
My thoughts enjoy a sudden spring,
But if she doth of sorrow speak,
E’en from my heart the strings do break.

Thomas Campion (1567-1620)

Meeks Family Session – Sandy Creek Covered Bridge

Remember this Maternity session? (One of my favorites, still!)   Meet Jagger James Robert Meeks!

What greater thing is there for human souls than to feel that they are joined for life – to be with each other in silent unspeakable memories.  – George Eliot

My favorite portrait…. I would blow this up and hang it on my wall. I love it so.

Such a charming family, don’t you agree?

Family Portrait Month + Operation Smile

My inbox is constantly flooded with inquiries for family portraits.  Since this is not a service that I normally offer, I have been waiting for the right opportunity to open the door for these type of sessions.  When I heard about Operation Smile’s Save a Smile Family Portrait Month - I knew that this was something that I was supposed to be a part of.

A portion of each session will be donated to Operation Smile. Your purchase of family portraits can help to provide the greatest gift that can be given to a child with a facial deformity. Since 1982, more than 150,000 children and young adults have been treated by thousands of volunteers worldwide. This is such a great cause and I’m so happy that we can be part of it!

In addition to being for a great cause, October is THE perfect month for family portraits. It’s late enough in the year to get the beautiful fall colors and foliage, and early enough to get your images back in plenty of time before Christmas.

Portrait Sessions for families will be offered the full month of October on a first-come, first-serve basis. Sessions are normally 300.00, however for the month of October they will be offered at a significant discount that includes a generous amount of prints, as well as an archival disc of images w/release.

Session Fee ($250) includes

  • 1 hour portrait session
  • (2) 8×10
  • (4) 5×7
  • (16) wallets
  • Archival disc of images with photographic release
  • Donation in your name to Operation Smile
In addition, at the end of the month I will be holding a contest here on the blog. The October family with the most comments on their portrait will receive a FREE 20×34 Wall Art! ($200 value)
I’m super excited about this autumn season and have already begun booking slots… email me using the link above and let’s get your session scheduled!
