Love is in the air...

I don't consider myself a photographer, at least not of people. But every now and then I get the priviledge to take photos of friends and family, and in this case of my friend and his fiance'.

These are some of my favorites from the shoot.

If you're looking for a great photographer, my dear friend Lisa has her studio right above my store. www.lisajuliaphotography.com

Model Madness part 2- Jenny

As I've stated before, not only am I an artist in the northern Virginia area, but I also have started my own jewelry line-- OfNatureDesigns: affordable, nature-inspired, handmade, most of it one of a kind. I sell my jewelry in my studio Kelly's Artbox in Occoquan, as well as online on etsy.com

I decided to take my branding to the next step and hired a few beautiful faces to help give my jewelry it's "identity".

You met Julia in a previous blog, over the next couple of days I'll be posting some of the other photos I've taken of the other models. Today meet Jenny. Jenny is wearing my guitar string rings (http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=14422559)

Fall Mums necklace, and Swallow's Treasure Necklace (http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=13735397)

(Thank you girls for all your help and smiles!)

More photo frenzy

I am an artist in the Northern Virgina area, but my current hobby has been trying to get back into using my Pentax K camera! I am trying to branch out on my artsyness with my photography I think-- but I still love photographing anything nature.

A great Northern VA children's photographer is Lisa from LisaJulia Photography. http://www.lisajuliaphotography.com

Photo Crazy

I forgot about my love for photography! I purchased some new lenses and tried them out last weekend. Here is one of the photos.... Can you tell I like nature?

I am based in Manassas, VA, but I travel to the Hudson Valley area in NY often. This was taken there at a nearby park.
