I took the kids strawberry picking a few weeks ago when the strawberries were at their peak.  They were SOO good!  There is nothing better than picking strawberries straight from their roots and eating them.  They are so sweet, juicy, and absolutely delicious!  My only regret is that we only went once this season. 🙁  I would have loved to go two or three times…they were THAT good!  Of course while we were there we did a mini photo shoot…how could I resist?? 😉  Kaleigh and Carter had a great time finding the biggest, brightest strawberries and eating them too! It had just showered that morning so the ground was a bit slippery, but that didnt stop us from hopping over the rows to collect the fruit.  I hope that we are able to get out to the field to pick the blueberries that are in season now!  Happy Friday everyone, I hope you all have a great weekend!  Enjoy the photos from our strawberry picking adventure!   PIN IMAGE PIN IMAGE PIN IMAGE PIN IMAGE PIN IMAGE PIN IMAGE PIN IMAGE PIN IMAGE PIN IMAGE PIN IMAGE PIN IMAGE PIN IMAGE PIN IMAGE PIN IMAGE PIN IMAGE PIN IMAGE PIN IMAGE PIN IMAGE PIN IMAGE PIN IMAGE PIN IMAGE PIN IMAGE PIN IMAGE PIN IMAGEVendors:

Overlooking the city in Church Hill on a beautiful Saturday afternoon, Tony and Gabrielle were married.  With the sun shining, the cool breeze, and the intimate wedding, the day could not have been more perfect.  I loved working with this couple….not only does their love for one another shine through each of them, but they are also so natural in front of the camera and the images from this day were beautiful!  I loved the peacock wedding theme….everything from the colors and cake, right down to the jewelry and hair pieces..it all coordinated so well together!  Tony and Gabrielle could not have been more elated on this day and I love that they chose to have such a close, intimate wedding to witness such a joyous occasion.  Tony and Gabrielle, I want to thank you all for allowing me to be part of such a special day for you!  It was truly an honor and I am thrilled to show you my favorites from your wedding day!  I wish you all the best and the most love that life offers.  I hope you enjoy the photos!  PIN IMAGELOVE this dress!

    G&T {married} with Ashley Glasco Photography | Hollie D Photography - […] I’m so excited to share these images from Gabrielle and Tony’s wedding!  I second shot this wedding with Ashley Glasco and it was such a great day!  The weather was gorgeous and Libby Hill Park was the perfect setting for their intimate wedding! Thanks to Ashley for choosing me to help out and also to Gabrielle and Tony for allowing me to share in their special day! You can see Ashley’s images here. […]ReplyCancel

So….another late post!  Oh well, its better than not doing one at all right??  This past weekend was pretty fun…I got to photograph a wedding for a friend of Jay’s so all the  Glasco boys and their girls were there, along with some other friends we hang out with!  It is hard sometimes balance work and fun, but I think I did a pretty good job of it! 🙂  It was a beautiful wedding to say the least….the University of Virginia is such a pretty campus and I was honored to be a part of Josh and Erin’s special day!  I can’t wait to show you the photos!  We didn’t do much of anything on Sunday…it was one of our rare, lazy, do nothing but watch tv kind of days.  Ha!  I did order a pepperoni, mushroom, and feta pizza from the Mellow Mushroom in Charlottesville before we left and it was AMAZING!!  I seriously could have eaten the entire pizza yesterday, but I managed to save two pieces for today lol!  Me + Pizza = no self control!  Ok, I know this is a short one, but it looks like a hurricane out there so Im going to wrap it up in case I loose power!  Hope everyone has a great week!  Below are the goals…sorry for no photos 🙁

When I spoke with Virginia about session locations, I was thrilled when she requested to shoot in Goochland.  As you know, this is one of my favorite places to go…and really it is my number one place for shoots.  Everything from the scenery to the light is just gorgeous there and it is so peaceful!  I always look forward to the sessions I have there because I know they will be awesome!  I LOVED photographing this sweet family, they were all so natural in front of the camera and so comfortable to be around!  Thank you “G” family for allowing me to document sweet Amelia’s first year milestone and your family portraits!   PIN IMAGE PIN IMAGE PIN IMAGE PIN IMAGEIsn’t she  a cutie?!

Well, this post is coming out a bit late!  Im going to try to make it short and sweet!  It was a busy weekend for us!  Wednesday after Kaleigh’s end of the year party, we packed up and headed out to Virginia Beach for a mini vacation.  We stayed until Friday evening and even though the weather did not cooperate with us, we still managed to have a great time swimming in the pool, going to the aquarium, visiting the art show on the boardwalk, and eating delicious seafood!  All in all, it was a fun time…maybe our next trip we will be able to make it to the beach!  Saturday was Kaleigh’s 8th birthday!!  In case you missed her birthday session, your can view it here.  What a fun day that was!  Kaleigh opened her gifts that morning and ate her favorite birthday breakfast(cinnamon rolls) and then her and I took a special trip to Target to get a diary she had been wanting.  After, we went to Nana and  Papa’s for Madison’s graduation(Congrats again Madison!!)  Rick and Gigi took Kaleigh to her favorite store(Justice) and Barnes and Noble for some birthday shopping and then we all met up at Stevie B’s for dinner…again, Kaleigh’s choice!  I think its so funny that out off all the places she could have chosen, she decided Stevie B’s was the top choice. 🙂  Sunday was Father’s Day(Happy Belated Father’s Day to all the great dads out there!)  We spent the day relaxing by the pool…I don’t think it could have been any more perfect!  Needless to say, this weekend was a busy one but there were so many great festivities that made for some great memories!  This week will be spent working, cleaning, and preparing for my wedding…along with trying to adjust to having two kids at home all day!  Easier said than done!  😉
