Technical Difficulties...

I had some email difficulties at the beginning of this year but apparently I have been having a few others. About two months worth of emails and photo shoots are not apearing on the customer side of the proof page. So for those of you looking for either your photo shoot proofs or your wedding album proofs please give me a couple days to get this all sorted out. I was just informed by phone that people couldn't see their events so I'm trying to get it all straightened out as quickly as possible!

If you need to email me try me at michaellupino@yahoo.com or feel free to call or text me as well. 757.567.7817

Hopefully by tomorrow it'll all be up and running!

Joey Austin

I photographed Joey when she was less than a week old and her family called back to me to photograph her now. She's a year and a half and it's amazing how BIG she's gotten! She's a beautiful and sweet young girl who apparently LOVES her shiny beads! I'm glad I brought them along because she had so much fun with them.

Anyways, check out this girl!

The Globe

For my Brides and Brides-to-be, you need to check out the Globe. Currently they are having their largest sale ever. They have all kinds of great unique items that you NEED to check out! Do it now!

365 photos!

So I've decided to get behind my camera more often. Here's a project many other photographers have incorporated into their lives. I'm not going to post every photo here but be on the look out for some of my favorites here! Or you can check them out on my facebook page here. Here are the first two for your viewing pleasure.

I had to do some photo work for my boss at Starbucks and here is one of my favorites of the day:


Our little Sadie girl is growing up. We've had her for just a little over a month and has grown so much!


I hope you guys enjoy this. And make sure and bug me if you haven't seen anything up in a while!

Scott & Bonnie!

Bonnie and Scott are one freakin' AWESOME couple! I mean, part of it might be because I've known Bonnie for a while, but still... I mean look at 'em! We did a combo shoot of some bridals for her and a couple session to celebrate their marriage, which as you can tell is going GREAT! You can truly see how they love and respect each other in the way they interact. Thank you guys for choosing me to photograph you! It was stinkin awesome! :)

Peny Pistola and The Love Burn

Well last month I had the amazing opportunity to hear Penny Pistola and The Love Burn. I got a chance to let Luke, the guitarist know that I was interested in photographing them so I was able to hit up their show at the Jewish Mother later that month. Their music is pretty rockin' if I do say so myself! Great to see a band with a female lead singer to change things up. You should look for their next upcoming shows and make sure you hit 'em up! This show was a bit tough to photograph because JewMa's lights are SO stinkin close to the stage that it would make them glow at times. Anyways, here's some that I really liked!










And I don't know why but I really like this image... Maybe it's the motion that's in it, I don't really know. i just like it!



Anyways, check 'em out and make sure and make their next show!

Sean & Lauren - Married!

Meet Lauren & Sean. Probably the most in love couple I've had. They were awesome to work with. Lauren had this whole day planned down to the T. That was awesome because it lets me know that everyone knows what the game plan is. Between all the family and friends they had one heck of party and one fun day all around!














And once the beats were laid down the awesomeness started!





Lauren and Sean are going to be shooting an After Session since her Bridal session was rained out. And when I mean rained out it down poured! I'm so looking forward to an amazing shoot with them again! Thanks Sean and Lauren for a great 4th of July!

Virginia Beach FOP Shootout

I had a great time getting to shoot... photographically speaking... the Virginia Beach F.O.P. Shooting Match. It's put on every year by Virginia Beach's Police Dept. Here are some shots of the day. I hope you guys had as good of a time as I did!

It's snowing!!

So it snowed in Virginia Beach... for once! This was Lexi's first time seeing snow and man oh man does she love it! She ran through it like crazy and ate the snow. She chased snowballs, and dug in the snow. We had a great day in the back yard for the past couple days. I know she'll be sad to see it go. Me to in fact. I hope you enjoyed the winter weather.

Mark & Michelle - [wedding]

What an AWESOME wedding this was! Man do these guys know how to throw down a great party and man do I ever mean it! Mark and Michelle are one heck-of-a good looking couple and they sure made it easy to photograph. I had so much fun with them and wish the the best on their new life together. They truly are a match made in heaven. God bless you guys!
