Album spreads

I've been working on creating some album spreads in an effort to create a sample album to show prospective clients and businesses.

Sneak Peek

I feel so lucky to have assisted at a wedding this past weekend in Richmond. One of my favorite photographers asked me if I would second shoot the wedding and I happily agreed. I'll be honest, I was extremely nervous, constantly worrying that none of my images were turning out as well as I hoped for, etc. Weddings can be so stressful! Yet on the flip side, they are so wonderful. The love, emotion and spirit that is felt at a wedding can't be traded for anything. I'm so happy to have had this chance to second shoot another wedding and look forward to shooting again next month. Until then, enjoy a few of my favorite images.

Liz

"Why do I feel like I'm in a swamp?" Liz asked tonight during our shoot.

"Uh, because we are," I replied.

But you never would guess it from the images.

Thank you DC weather for not being terribly unbearable but if you could cut down on the humidity just a tad, we would really appreciate it.

Enjoy!

100 posts later and I'm still behind

A few posts back I mentioned that I had been in upstate New York for 10 days. And I was, but the pictures I'm about to share are from a trip I made last October during the peak of the changing of colors. My aunt, daughter and I visited the beautiful little town of Skaneateles: a quaint village on the Finger Lakes with beautiful cottages, houses, shops and window-fronts. Its beauty, combined with the vibrant fall leaves, made for a beautiful fall afternoon. I love fall and am looking forward to the cooler temperatures and crispness that the season brings. Until then, enjoy some pictures from last year.

Baby J -DC Newborn Photographer

Why I don't focus primarily on newborns is a mystery too me. Not only are they so adorable and little but they sleep for most of the session. Could I ask for anything more relaxing? Thank you Ruth and Abraham for allowing me to capture these images of your precious little one. Enjoy your sneak peek!
