The Great Outdoors

Just a quick note that I am headed out of the office this morning. We are going to a mountain to spend the next week living off the land. Well, if that's what you call cooking s'mores and hot dogs over the fire and sleeping on an air mattress in a tent. Then yes... we're living off the land. ;) I'm super excited! This is the first time in a long time that I will be completely unplugged - no phone, no laptop, nothing! Please be patient with email response times while I am gone. I will be back Friday afternoon and will respond to emails and voicemails in the order they were received.

I'm off to enjoy The Great Outdoors! I will be bringing my camera and I hope to take some photos to share with you all when I get back.

Hope ya'll have a fab week!

Fall Mini Sessions | Lynchburg Family Portraits

It's that time of year again to start coordinating the Fall Mini Portrait Sessions! I know it seems a little early to be thinking about holiday portraits - but my schedule is filling up quickly so I wanted to get this info out as soon as possible. I did send this info out a week ago to those who are subscribed to my Mailing List and since then I have filled all but three of the sessions. If you are interested in booking a mini session this year, please contact me as soon as possible! As a quick reminder, here are the details:

To book a session please contact me!

Housekeeping! | Business News

Soooooo big news! My husband is on his way home!! I. Am. So. Excited! This news means my office schedule will be a bit quirky for the next few weeks. I wanted to get some dates out there for you guys because my fall calendar is juuust about full. Between engagement sessions and family portraits I have few available days left. I feel so blessed that this year has been packed with weddings and sessions and it looks like 2011 is shaping up to be the same. Sometimes I still cannot believe this is my full time job! Love it!

That said... here are a few dates that you will want to keep in mind if you are interested in booking a session with Sincerely, Liz: Photography this fall:

For a full session (1-2hrs) these are my only weekend days available for 2010:

October 17 4:00pm November 7 3:30pm November 14 3:00pm

For those of you interested in the annual Fall Mini Session dates, they will be:

October 31, 2010 in Lynchburg, VA November 6, 2010 in Fredericksburg, VA

I'll be posting some more information about the 2010 Fall Mini Sessions in the coming weeks so keep an eye out for that.

Also, for those brides out there who are thinking about booking SLP for their 2011 wedding, book fast! I have only three dates left for the months of May and June!

And... another favorite from the beautiful wedding of Andrew and Erin. :)

Happy 4th of July! | Operation: Love ReUnited

Happy 4th of July!

Today is one of my FAVORITE holidays... I love everything about today. The summer activities, the fireworks, the cheesy attire I can get away with wearing once a year, the hot dogs and picnic blankets and bluegrass concerts! (I know, that's random... but for some reason I hear more bluegrass music played on this holiday than any other.) My family and I celebrated the holiday yesterday at a local festival. I am getting ready to head out here in a bit to go enjoy a big family cook-out with my sister and her kiddos, also. So fun!

I just wanted to take a moment real quick and draw attention to an organization I am proud to be a part of. I have been a vounteer photographer for Operation: Love ReUnited for over a year now and it has been such an awesome experience. This organization brings together photographers who are willing to donate their time and talents to give back to the troops and their families. If you or someone you know has a loved one that is deployed (or is getting read to deploy), you may qualify for up to two free professional photo sessions! This is a great way for photographers everywhere to give back to those who sacrifice so much for us.

Check out my website here for more information, or click over to the OP: Love website to find a photographer near you!

If you are a photographer and you are interested in getting involved, click here for more information.

Yay! I am so proud to be an American! Happy 4th of July, ya'll!

p.s. I miss you, Tommy!
