  Being on crutches due to a recent knee surgery, I was a little hesitant to pull out the camera this weekend to document the RVA Hackathon event that we sponsored. One advantage is that I guess I effectively turned myself into a human tripod… but navigating yourself around with a camera in hand is a bit tricky. There were definitely a lot more stories that I would have liked to have told from the night but I do think that this image captures the essence of the event pretty well.  

  The story behind the picture…

  Tom and Mike Oristian, the guys behind Lucy Phone, are seen here working on an interactive iOS app after having been up for what I think is about 26 or so hours at this point. I should have asked them how many cups of coffee they had consumed to go along with their Red Bull consumption at this point. They were actually one of the few that made it straight all the way through without crashing. Huge props! I’m actually looking forward to playing with their app…

  Here are a few more from Lauren’s bridal shoot. I am still amazed at the weather we got. The location is at the Westover Plantation in Charles city.

  During the week of Thanksgiving my dad turned lucky 77. We were fortunate this year in being able to spend the day with him and I was actually able to talk him into letting me snap a few portraits - something I have wanted to do for a long time but for one reason or another never got around to it. My dad has always been there for me. He is a big, tough and stubborn man who absolutely loves his family and is proud of his legacy that we are all passing on.

  I once heard that a horse is the most stress-reducing animal that there is. Cotton has definitely proven that to be true for me and we are grateful to have him in our life.

  Sometimes you get lucky with a shoot in the middle of November. Our shoot with Courtney was one of those times. Great weather, a great location, and a happy and willing client. Picking my favorites from this shoot was actually pretty hard for me to do.
