Baby Campbell

This afternoon I had the pleasure of shooting 7 month old Baby Campbell and his parents! I met Campbell's mom thru Junior Friends, a local charity we volunteer with. We had a great time and while Campbell was 180% fascinated with the grass he was sitting on rather than looking at the photographer (wink, wink) or his parents -- believe me, we tried -- we did manage to get some sweet shots of his gorgeous face along with some great ones of his fun parents playing with him. He has an infectious laugh and responded to his mom's awesome fake laugh best!

Cathy & Mike

What a great time I had at Cathy and Mike's wedding. Middleburg was the location for both the ceremony and the reception and it was picture perfect. Cathy was able to get permission to do some wedding photos at the local Swedenburg Estate Vineyard which proved picturesque! Yes, it was 90 degrees but they were great sports for these photos -- no thanks to a good bottle of wine given to them by the owner! The reception was at the local Community Center which was beautiful with wonderful high ceilings and nice architectural accents. They are off to the Western part of the US for a driving tour on their honeymoon! Have a great time guys!

Caroline and Grace

A few weeks ago I traveled to Illinois to attend a fabulous photography workshop hosted by PPA (Professional Photographers of America). I learned loads and met some amazing friends and photographers! I stayed with my sister-in-law and her wonderful husband and 2 gorgeous little girls in Peoria for several days while attending the workshop. Shortly before I left, we went outside and did a spontaneous shoot with the girls. The lighting was ideal and the girls were in great spirits in the spring air.

Heather and Gary at River Farm Gardens

Heather and Gary tied the knot at the historic Alexandria River Farm Gardens on the Potomac Memorial Day weekend. This was my first wedding there and I was totally excited to take advantage of the flowers in full bloom as well as the beautifully landscaped gardens. Despite the crazy heat, everyone made it thru the day. Heather was a radiant bride and Gary was equally handsome! I love when I am hired by a wonderful couple who has extra wonderful families and friends.
