Tasha & Jaiden | Fall 2010


This is by far one of my favorite photo shoots I've ever taken...
I hope you enjoy the following photos as much as I did editing them. :)
Thanks for reading!
























Peace friends! :)
Tasha and Jaiden have been in my life for several years now. I met Tasha at the Blue Nile one evening, I was going to see one of my favorite bands play, "the cinnamon band". I decided to make a solo trip out that night, grabbed a brew and found a table close to the stage to get a good view:) As I was sitting there a young, pretty and very excited girl approached me, it was Tasha. She sat down and immediately asked if I was alone, yep! We've been friends since, in fact I could probably dig up a cell phone photo of her and I that evening:) Tasha loves J more than anything, and she is a wonderful mother to him. I am proud of the decisions she has made with her life and I am happy to have her and J as a part of mine.
 I hope you enjoyed the photos, leave me some love, advice, a song, anything! ha!
As always, thanks for reading. Peace to you friends. Danielle

Lough Family | Fall 2010

Photo shoot took place on private property in Franklin, West Virginia
Loved this old time feel of the photo.
This was taken in front of an original building on the property probably circa early 1930's?


This darling girl was helping her little brother explore. So sweet.:)

This photo is one of my favorites. These two are beautiful. I'm happy with the darker hue I chose for the contrast it proved defining with the tree and facial features.


This shot was taken before this little boy even had his shoes on. Love candid.
There's always beauty in the unexpected.


This shot I thought was so precious.
It illuminates her and her sweet innocent curiousity:)







This darling girl was not one to pose for the camera, at this stage in her life. She has since come to love her photo being taken:) Regardless, she ran off from our shoot and started playing in the sand. I have so many shots from this moment that turned out so wonderfully, it was painstaking to choose just one. As I have mentioned I love photography that captures the natural state of things. She was simply playing, being herself and it turned out to be a sweet, beautiful picture!

Photo booth style for the below photo's because...I couldn't choose just one! ;) Absolutely adorable!




Separate day in the garden at grammy's house :) Running and running and running!
Momma and her boy, so precious...




Her eyes are the prettiest blue...this was an early photo shoot for me. I had the tendency to darken everything...I like a classic, nostalgic look. I have since learned to lighten my photos and adjust contrast and hue etc. Regardless, she's such a beautiful darling girl! :)

I love this family, dearly. They have been a part of my life for a few years and the mother of these two always supported and encouraged my photography venture. She is one of the most genuine and kind women I know and I'm honored to call her a friend. Special thanks to this family for their love, unending support and kindness to me in all circumstances. You have blessed my life. Thank you for reading friends, peace to you. Danielle
