Captured Moments Photography on Facebook

A word from the studio.....

It's been a while since I've updated the blog.... so, my many apologies for that. The holidays were hectic, and we decided to take a little breather to spend some time with the families. Speaking of.... I've also included some bragging pics of them below, so feel free to ooohh and awwww. While you're here, take a look at the new blog entries below and watch for more to come. You'll see new babies, weddings, and lots of cute kids from local preschools in the area. That and much much more to come... Stay tuned... and check out our beautiful families. Oh yeah, and don't forget to spread the word about Captured Moments Photography!

Justus Senior Portraits

Ok so I am not the blogger but I have a lot of catching up to do to keep up with Tonya. I love photography it is a true passion…just ask my kids. I am always with a camera just ready to catch that moment.

You see Tonya talking about how fast her children are growing up right before her eyes but I keep telling her that these are the best times of their lives. It just seems like yesterday my kids were babies and I was never able to rest, much less eat a hot meal. Life was always an adventure. Now my children are all grown up and boy do the adventures keep coming. My oldest son Nathan is married to a beautiful girl, Caroline and they have a precious baby boy, Rome. My daughter Candace is a senior at Appalachian State University with such a promising future ahead of her. My youngest son Justus will graduate high school in May and plans on getting a degree in racing performance and working for Nascar one day. Where has all the time gone? Being a senior requires that certain things be done, i.e. senior pictures. SO of course I had to do some of them myself. Justus huffed and blowed at first but as you will see he quickly warmed up to the camera. It was so much fun.

Baby Rome's First Fall

Baby Rome is growing like a weed, and you will probably be seeing more of him to come since he is one of our "Baby's First Year" babies. That and my partner in crime is his "Mee-Mee". So we really aren't shy about pulling out our lens(s) when he comes around !! Here is Rome Alexander in all of his glory !!

Matt & Katie

Matt and Katie are two of my favorite children. I recently did a photo shoot for
their family. We started out at their home where their dad pulled out a prized family possession….a Model A. I was able to get a few shots of them with the car. When their mom looked at some of the pictures she immediately said that the two of them looked like a modern day Bonnie & Clyde…I must agree. We finished up at Tanglewood park where it was absolutely the perfect setting. They were so easy to take pictures of and so much fun. Again I brought Justus along for the ride and he introduced them to the nuts that had fallen on the ground while I was trying to get a picture of their parents. I am seeing a trend here…bring Justus and my subjects misbehave. I love you guys!!!!

Oh...Sheila !

Shelia was my guinea pig recently. I had found a new outdoor prop and was eager to try it. Shelia took a break from her studies to help me out. She is such a beautiful girl and so photogenic. I did make the mistake however of bringing Justus along for this adventure and the two of them are still grounded for misbehaving. They should be actors as they spent the whole time reciting movie lines and not cooperating!

Ashley's Bridal Sitting

Whoever said that Virginia is God's country knew what they were talking about. Ashley's shoot took place in the quaint little town of Fancy Gap during the weekend of the Autumn Leaves Festival. Although the day started out dreary and rainy, we were optimistic that we were going to have a good shoot that day. I guess someone up there was really looking out for us, because our prayers were answered. The rain finally let up, and we were actually blessed with about 30 mins of sunshine. As you'll see from the images below, Miss Ashley is a country girl at heart. What you don't see is the fact that she was actually a little camera shy... I guess she never knew how much the camera really loves her. Stay tuned to see the images from her upcoming nuptuals this upcoming weekend !!

Ashley: You were a real trooper !!! Michelle(my new partner in crime)and I loved working with you, and are looking forward to this weekend.

Carson

Carson is my nephew. He arrived in the world quite a bit earlier than he was suppose to but he is catching up quickly. On a recent visit home we were able to get Carson to flash us a few smiles and share his love for UNC basketball with us. I can’t wait for Rome and Carson to create the havoc that their dads created for me.

Scott & Lauren Coleson Wedding

This was one of the larger weddings that I have been a part of. An 18 person Wedding party poses as a challenge to any photographer, which is why there were a total of 3 photographers covering the Wedding Celebration. All in all, we were all very pleased with the results. Kudos to Michelle Frye and her assistant Katie !!! They do great work. The following images were some that I took of Lauren & Scott's special day.
