Ballet Virginia International Spring Recital

Here are a few informal shots I took during my daughter's spring recital through Ballet Virginia International earlier this month. The performance took place at the Sandler Center for the Performing Arts. BVI is an incredible organization with some truly amazing young talent!
I've posted more pictures on my Facebook business page, here. It was fun to experiment a little bit in this kind of venue, which is a little different from the weddings and portraits I typically do. Let me know what you think!

2010 Miss Virginia Pageant

The 2010 Miss Virginia Pageant is about here, with preliminary competitions starting on the 24th and the 25th.

This year is special though because Lacey Lichi Photography has already photographed the winner...

Well, not yet, but a few weeks back I had the chance to shoot some gorgeous photos of Meredith Brown, our pick (of course!) to win this year's pageant.

Meredith is Miss Hampton-Newport News for the 2009-2010 and is an extraordinarily talented young woman with a heart of gold.

Check out this link to vote for Meredith, and to stream the preliminary competitions:

Good luck Meredith!!

Jaime + Brian Engagement

I had a wonderful afternoon engagement session with Jaime and Brian a few weeks ago at Virginia Beach. It was fortuitous that I met them and I'm so excited that I'll be shooting their wedding in a few weeks! Much more to come soon, including another wedding!

Rachel's Bridal

Hello Everyone! I know it's been a while (again), but the good news is that I've been very busy shooting so I will have tons of photos to share with you! Here are a few highlights from my bridal session with Rachel (of the Rachel and Chris Engagement Session fame). She and Chris tied the knot and had a beautiful wedding. Congrats! I'll be giving you a glimpse of those in the next few days. In the meantime, enjoy!

Luke: Senior Portraits

This weekend I had a wonderful day shooting Luke, who would be at home in the pages of GQ! Luke is what Malcolm Gladwell might call a connector and a salesman, and I think the sky is the limit for what he can achieve in life. Enjoy!

And my favorite picture--thanks Luke for showing me this awesome parking garage!

Stay tuned for more pics soon to come!

Lilly: Senior Portraits

A couple of weeks ago, I had an amazing time shooting senior portraits for Lilly, a super-talented, highly successful--and needless to say beautiful!--soon-to-be fashion designer extraordinaire! I can't wait to see what her future holds and hope to someday visit her in NYC or Paris.

Stay tuned for more senior portaits, coming soon!

Rachel and Chris

It was such a pleasure on Saturday to shoot an engagement session with Rachel and Chris. He'll make for quite the sharp groom, and wow, what a stunning bride Rachel will be! We started at the Botanical Gardens--which are absolutely radiant with color--and ended up at Virginia Beach at sunset. Thanks so much Rachel and Chris for a wonderful day!

I have several other posts coming soon, so check back often this week . . . .

Jessica and Josh

I had a great chance to shoot this happy couple last week. They'll be tying the knot in a couple of months--Congrats Jess and Josh! Thanks so much for letting me hang out with you for a couple of hours in Ghent! You guys are amazing . . . .















And my personal favorite of the day:


More soon--Lacey

The Farm

Earlier this year, while visiting my family's farm in Pendleton, OR, I finally took the opportunity to do a little creative, documentary photography. I always knew this was a rich visual environment, but I was just blown away by the line, color and texture all around. From classic chrome, peeling paint and ragged rust, I hope you enjoy:

You should also know about this handsome fellow, Oregon's most eligible bachelor, my grandfather and the king of the farm, R.L. Harris:

Finally, please stay tuned for a really exciting announcement about an upgrade we've just made at Lacey Lichi Photography . . . .
