Hampton SPCA Fur Ball Red Carpet Event

heatherhughesphotography — Sun, 19 Feb 2012 02:28:37 +0000

I had a GREAT time photographing the dogs and volunteers at the annual SPCA fundraising event – the Fur Ball – in Hampton, VA a couple weeks ago. Between the ticket sales and silent fundraiser, they raised a ton of money and all to help the animals.

With so many photographers & pet owners taking photos of the dogs entrance, it truly felt like a red carpet event!

There are almost 100 photos online if you want to see more of the great outfits and clever centerpieces (just click on the photo to go to the site) and be sure to get a ticket next year to join the fun!

Great wedding at the Newport News Marriott

Had a wonderful time photographing Jeanna & Bob and the family again at their wedding at the Newport News Marriott. It was a last minute change (as in less than 7 days before) from their original May date but everyone had a great attitude and lots of fun dancing the night away.

The "boys" are starting to look like men, such a wonderful family. I'm so happy for you guys!

The Perfect Christmas Present

Thank you again Michelle & Ryan in Williamsburg for having me photograph another milestone – your newborn daughter! There are a lot of photos so you will have some photos that aren’t holiday themed but I had to post this one because I can’t help but smile every time I look at her sweet face. Happy Holidays everyone!

Casey was a little early, so she was a little small for her santa hat but was happy to cuddle up under the Christmas tree for a super fun newborn portrait session.

Maternity Portrait in Williamsburg

I love fall! And I was so happy to be able to photograph Michelle & Ryan in Colonial Williamsburg less than two months before their baby is due. Perfect weather a couple weeks ago, for a maternity portrait or any portrait, and just in time since the leaves are almost all gone.

Beautiful fall colors create a simple & romantic backdrop for a maternity portrait in Colonial Williamsburg. Fingers crossed for a little snow at New Year's for the newborn portrait.

Gloucester Waterfront Wedding

I don’t know if you know it, but Gloucester is the perfect place for a wedding! Even with chilly temperatures, the waterfront view at the Ware River Yacht Club was breathtaking and I can’t wait to go back. There will be over 450 photos online next week from Erin & Phillipe’s wedding so stay tuned!

A crisp, clear November evening and smooth water combine to create a beautiful view where the sky seems endless.
