One of my favorite places to do portraits is at the top of a hill.  It lets me fill the background with sky.

I loved this portrait of Bethany.  I gave it an antique finish and lots of grain.

The Georgetown Ballroom is a visually interesting venue.  I love the arrangement of flower petals and the handmade ribbons along the aisle.
