CLASS OF 2012 | Goodhart Photograpy, Northern Virginia High School Senior Pictures

Not your typical senior portrait, but I love this picture of Mo, Class of 2012. We were at Claude Moore park in Loudoun County early in the morning and it was just beautiful -- albeit rather chilly!

Here's another Dominion High School senior, Kristen:



I've been loving these overhead shots on the ground, the open sky puts amazing light in the girls eyes.

I've been asked which is my favorite time of year for portraits, and it always ends up being the season I'm in.   Right now I can't get enough of the colors and textures of fall, even weeks after foliage has peaked.  Here is Emily of Broad Run High School, sitting among the thistles and weeds.




The best is yet to come --- I'll be in touch in a week or so about setting up your appointments to see all of the proofs!

PORTRAITS IN THE PARK | Northern Virginia Loudoun County Family Portraits

I recently met several of my favorite clients at the lovely Claude Moore Park in Loudoun County for a day of mini-photography sessions. Claude Moore is a beautiful location in the fall, with the golden colors of grass and foliage. Here are a few of the results.







The park is also a great location for senior portraits:



Enjoy! The rest should be ready for viewing in a few days!

ALLY CLASS of 2012 | Goodhart Photography, Northern Virginia and Loudoun County Senior Portrait Photographer

This gorgeous senior has a busy schedule, with school, soccer and the Dominion High School homecoming just around the corner, but she managed to find an afternoon for some senior pictures. And look at that light! Gorgeous, golden fall light that flatters Ally's natural beauty.

Here's a few more from our session:







I can't wait to show you all of your images next week!

ITTY BITTY BABIES | Goodhart Photography, Northern Virginia and Loudoun County Newborn and Baby Portrait Photographer

I've been having so much fun photographing precious sweet newborns. This post features some of the babies I've recently met, all beautiful and all with unique little personalities, even so fresh from God. Above is Adrienne. She was 5 days old and simpy refused to sleep! She could almost hold her head up, she was so alert and so absolutely calm. She didn't cry once, she was completely serene and content to just observe the world around her.

 



This is James. I love how curly and squnched up he is here:



Here he eyes his lovely mama...



So these busy boys (who happen to be my godchildren) just turned one! They were so playful and fun, look at these smiles!







This picture makes me smile, they look like they are telling secrets!

HAPPILY EVER AFTER | Goodhart Photography, Northern Virginia Wedding Photographer

 

I recently had the honor of photographing the marriage of Becca and Taylor at the gorgeous Rose River Farm in Syria, Virginia. While a little bit of a hike from Loudoun County, it was a magical place for a wedding! And it was truly a joy for me to bear witness to this young couple's love for each other, and to play a part in preserving the memories of their blessed and holy day.

 

A special thanks to Tim Pennington of Radiant View Photography for his excellent assistance in providing coverage for this wedding.

CLASS OF 2012 | Loudoun County and Northern Virginia High School Portraits

I swear these girls should be contenders on America's Top Model. They're all gorgeous and talented and it was so much fun to photograph their senior pictures! Most of these girls came from Dominion High School, but a few other Loudoun County schools are represented as well.
 


Class of 2012, if you're not happy with your senior pictures from your high school contract photographer, don't settle! It's your senior year and you deserve awesome pictures.  Some families call me the summer before their senior goes off to college, but I recommend trying to schedule me a little sooner than that :)

Winter is a great time, yes it's a bit chilly but the stark landscape will really make your own beauty and clothing pop if you're a girl or can make you look really cool and rugged if you're a guy. Or, we could do a session in the warmth and comfort of my studio if you prefer.

And spring, my favorite time of year, is another great time for portraits as everything outside comes to life and is fresh and beautiful.

So don't hestitate to call/text Angela at 703 404 3716 for more information or to schedule your appointment today!

This is Taylor, a senior at Dominion High School. She came in for a senior yearbook picture and additional portraits taken both in the studio and on location. I was thrilled she brought in her varsity lacrosse shirt and stick! After a few portraits in the studio, we went on location where she wore a super cute purple blouse that accentuated her eyes. The rest of your pictures will be ready in a week! Enjoy your sneak peek.

ISO Photography Model | Goodhart Photography, Loudoun County and Northern Virginia High School Senior Pictures

A couple of months ago I went to a fantastic Kirk VoClain training workshop. One of the coolest things he did was underwater shots with a senior in a prom dress and ever since I have been dying to do something similar. Since I don't have a pool in my yard, I purchased a kiddie pool which I think could work. But I need a model to help test it out! Models get 3-5 free pictures for FB and discretely logo'd files for printing.

If you are a high school student and willing to wear a prom dress in a kiddie pool, e-mail me at goodhart photography @ gmail.com (no spaces) and I'll send you the parental consent form and a few possible dates for the shoot!
