Steven Quintana \\ Headshots


Steven is a team member of mine from YouthQuest. We met two years ago when we both joined the team and have become great friends. Steven is a Theater major here at Liberty and dreams of becoming a late night talk show host. (Seriously, this kid is obsessed with Conan O'Brien.)

Steven asked me to take some head shots for him a few weeks back and we finally got around to taking them last week. Without further ado... Mr. Steven Quintana.





Below: Steven had to keep himself from cracking up half the time. Made for some great shots though.


Below: We found this arm of a chair and I told Steven to hold it (jokingly...) Here are the results.


Below: The following photos are the results of 1,2,3 shots. Meaning I count to 3, snap a shot, count to 3, snap a shot. This kid is hilarious!


We had some fun with these pictures and I hope you find the perfect head shot from what I've taken. Love you man!

Carson & Rachel \\ Engagements


Carson, Rachel and I went out last week for their engagement session and had an absolute blast! Carson and Rachel met at Liberty University during their freshman year. Carson is studying Music and Worship and Rachel is a Women's Ministries major. I have known them for two years now and have really enjoyed seeing them grow in their relationship. They have both become two of my great friends and I am totally psyched to photograph their wedding in June!

On to the important stuff...

We hopped over to Downtown Lynchburg for a little while and got some great shots. From scaling brick walls to jumping onto rooftops, they were up for anything! We got some awesome shots and I am really excited to show you my favorites.











After we finished up Downtown, we headed over to West Manor in Lynchburg and took advantage of the beautiful scenery surrounding it. Earlier this month I took some bridal portraits of Lauren Birdsall at West Manor and knew it'd be a great place to take Carson and Rachel.

















So, here's the ring. It looks like a mini Eiffel Tower. It's a great ring and had so many details. Good choice Carson!


Carson and Rachel, I am so excited to photograph your wedding in June and am excited to see the Lord use you guys as husband and wife for his glory. God bless!
