Fredericksburg’s Memorial Day Luminaries
You may remember from my photos last year that the Fredericksburg National Cemetery puts together an amazing display of luminaries on the Saturday before Memorial Day. All the details are at the National Park Service if you’re interested in visiting. If you’re in the area, it’s really amazing to see. I won’t be able to make it tomorrow, so I thought […]
Patience & Preparation
Sometimes I can spend hours trying to make one photo and, like yesterday, not quite get what I want. Other times, I just need to be prepared when the right moment comes along, like at this Dismemberment Plan show in Fredericksburg this summer.
Anna & Jym: Married!
Buckle up, because this is my longest post to date. And why shouldn’t it be? Anna and Jym had such a wonderful wedding and I had such a great time shooting and preparing these photos that I want to share as much with everyone as I can, while still hoping that you’ll make it all […]
Memorial Day Weekend in Fredericksburg
On Saturday, local Boy and Girl Scouts lit a luminary for each of the 15,300 soldiers buried in the Fredericksburg National Cemetery. I can’t possibly convey the staggering effect of seeing this in person, but I hope these photos give you some idea.
Jym & Anna: Engaged!
I had the pleasure of joining my friends Jym and Anna for a fun engagement session starting at their house in downtown Fredericksburg and continuing at the amazing farm where they’ll be married in June. Along the way we had faux seriousness, genuine goofiness, and a pitchfork. I can’t wait to be back for the wedding!
RIFF 2011
After I had such a great time at last year’s Rappahannock Independent Film Festival, I made sure to get on board early this year so that I could cover it from beginning to end. Despite the severe thunderstorm before the concert on Thursday night and the hurricane during the screenings on Saturday, the festival was […]
Blackberries and Peaches
One of the best things about summer in Virginia is fresh fruit. Until our own ice cream muskmelons ripen, we’ve got plenty of local farms to keep us fed and happy. This weekend we picked blackberries at both Miller Farms and Westmoreland Berry Farm. Some of them even made it into our buckets! Miller Farms […]
Independence Day in Fredericksburg
I had the opportunity this year to experience July 4th in downtown Fredericksburg since we had our usual party (see 2009 and 2010) on Saturday. First up is the annual river raft race from Falmouth Waterfront Park to the City Dock sponsored by the Fredericksburg Jaycees. It was a beautiful day to float down the […]
