So I have been verrry absent from my website for awhile.  For those of you who haven’t heard, we have moved, albeit temporarily, to Eastern Tennessee, (soon to be Asheville, NC).   My husband had a job transfer and moved back in July of 2012.  Maia and I stayed behind to put our Townhouse up for sale in August and well, sold it in ONE DAY with FIVE FULL OFFERS, three of which never even saw the Townhouse (they only saw the photos…ahem..pat on back).  Really I have to give great Thanks and many many referrals to Lisa Burrows from The Real Estate Group in Virginia Beach.  As a Real Estate Agent, she’s phenomenal,  Lisa will stage your home to showroom quality.  As a person, believe me, Lisa rocks! Oh and all of our neighbors thank Lisa too as our sale brought up all of the surrounding home values…whoop whoop!  Click on the Photo below to see more images of our home!

Pungo Strawberry Festival!  This year marks “29 and Counting” years the festival has been welcoming summertime.  The day was not as hot as last year (thankfully), the food was as always, DELICIOUS!  My favorite being the strawberries in a waffle taco with whipped cream and sprinkles.  Our daughter was also the highlight of this festival, as she grasps the excitement of flying elephants and banana airplanes.  Click on the yummy strawberry taco to enjoy the photos.  Please leave a comment as I appreciate all your comments!

Last weekend I took part in a lighting seminar given by Will King Photography.  There were 18 photographers and 8 models there.  Expectations were high as  I was looking to get great technical knowledge with new and various lighting setups.  According to Will, it all boils down to Light is Light, whether from a strobe or sun, its more the way you use your tools to make your light work the way you want it to.

That being said, here is a sampling of photographs taken with various lighting setups.   What do you think?

Run it or Shoot it? The website was more than intriguing, the race was going to be very awesome.  I went round and round with this one (even posting the question on my Woodruff Photography Facebook Page).   Flo-Foto, the Utah based Photography Company who is contracted for these events helped me with my decision – SHOOT it!

Approximately 7,500 people showed up for the Color Me Rad 5K.  I photographed approximated 2,048 of them.  I came in, ready to get down to business of taking awesome photos.  I left with a sore trigger finger, extremely ORANGE and giddy with happiness.  This race was totally a way to let go, run off some steam and have a load of fun!  Click on the photo below to check out a sampling of some of the photos.  Let me know what you think!

One more thing –  All of the photos are available for purchase on the Flo-Foto.com  Color Me Rad Virginia Beach page, so if you don’t see your image here, check there!
