William Folsom, the resident photographer at Meadlowlark Gardens in Vienna, VA, is a friend of mine and he is teaching some photography classes there this spring and needs some models--in exchange for your time (and patience!), he'll provide you with a CD of the professional photos that he takes (in what I think is one of the most beautiful places in Northern Virginia!).
Specifically:
(1) He needs a newly wed who has her dress and wants photos on Saturday, March 27, 2010 from 11:30 PM to 12:30 PM at Meadowlark Botanical Gardens in Vienna, VA.
(2) He needs an engaged couple for Saturday, April 3, 2010, 11:30 PM to 12:30 PM at Meadowlark Botanical Gardens in Vienna, VA.
I volunteered back in 2006 and I *love* the photos that he took of me. In fact, he became such a good friend that I asked him to do maternity photos of me last year and newborn photos of our baby last summer! William is a really nice man and a talented photographer as well.
If you are interested, contact him at:
wbfolsom@verizon.net. Please include a picture of you and your fiance when you write to him and please be willing to make a commitment to be there if he selects you for the class. It would be terrible to have a class of eager photographers and none of his volunteer models show up!
