Katlyn


It's interesting how people come into our lives for many different reasons. Katlyn is the daughter of a facebook friend of mine. Her Mom posted on FB one day that Katlyn had been beaten up and bullied at school by other girls. I reached out to her Mom and wanted to do something special for her. I organized a special outing for her. It included getting her hair done, make-up, and a portrait sitting. Scissor Happy, in Christiansburg, worked their magic! I took the photographs.





Brittany Jones, Scissor Happy - donated her time and materials to Katlyn for her hair and make-up.

A VERY happy Mom and Katlyn.




After lots of positive conversation, she returned to school and is now loving life again. Her Mom tells me that she has staying after school a lot and is happy again. Thanks for smiling!

Matt & Ali Proposal

I first met Matt & Ali at a Wedding. Matt was the brother of the bride. Matt & Ali were extremely close and they had wonderful chemistry. Fast forward a few years, they are living together in Roanoke and they are an amazing couple.

Ali gets a photo book with lots of images from their fantastic time together



She reaches the end of the book and printed on the last page, is a question.



He stands and pulls out a blue box and gets down on one knee
