I’m sitting here…thinking about this year and how it’s so quickly nearing the end. Every year about this time, many of us reflect on all that’s happened and how each moment, each day, each person has affected our lives, changed us, maybe disappointed us, or even inspired us… The year I happily said my...
I like going to the dentist. Really! I do! I like going to the dentist because of the people who work there, not because of the work I need done there. Despite great dental hygiene practices, my teeth have issues…mainly the tendency to crack. So I’m at the dentist’s office a LOT…which normally could be...
Had I known how wonderful this family was, I never would have been so nervous to shoot my first-ever baptism at St. Peter’s Catholic Church in Waldorf. I mean, I had a pretty good idea that his family would be nice because my good friend Genelle is this beautiful baby’s Godmother, but I wasn’t prepared...
I’m behind on my blogging! This has to be the busiest month I’ve had in years…I’m comparing it to finals week in college! So much to do, deadlines to meet, and quite frankly, much FUN to be had! And it’s been all of that and more. Last weekend I had four sessions that were all...
Photographing this beautiful family was a tremendous pleasure for me. From the moment I met them it was clear that these people had all the qualities I admire most — respect, kindness, courtesy and a wry sense of humor! They were so easy-going and fun which made my job a breeze! Their girls were adorable...
My friend, Carrie Metz, is as sweet as her new business. It’s true! This gal is one of a kind and she has just begun to share her tasty talents by launching Sucré Dolce Bakehouse! If you have a special occasion coming up, whether it be a birthday party or a wedding, I urge you...
We all meet new people every day… We might strike up a conversation with someone in the checkout line, or maybe we are introduced to someone at another friend’s house, or perhaps another parent from your child’s classroom begins to chat with you in the hallway at school… Every day we meet people and get...
While taking the boys for a walk a couple of years ago I noticed a family moving into one of the houses on our street, so we stopped to chat and welcome this new family to our neighborhood. It was exciting to find out that we all had a lot in common — our families...
While driving to Charlotte Hall to photograph my second-ever home birth, I got a call from the mother of four asking if I could fit her in as soon as possible so that I could capture her sweet two-week old baby girl. I was thrilled! This amazing mom has three boys already and now she...
About a month ago I received a call from a new mom with the sweetest voice…her baby would be three months old in just a couple of weeks and she wanted to have photos taken of him at three month intervals during his first year. Such a great idea — babies grow and change so...
