Please... Just one quick photo.

The clouds were so beautiful yesterday so I asked my girl to let me snap just one quick photo of her...2Z9A7887-2We were visiting my Mother in law who just happens to live right on what's called Silver Bay and with good reason.2Z9A7924-22Z9A7908-22Z9A7934-22Z9A7947-2At first she really wasn't in the mood,  but those clouds and the breeze and the sound of the seagulls all sort of clicked and 15 frames later,  we had a full blown shoot going.2Z9A7956-22Z9A7961-2I'm just a little freaked out about how mature she's looking in these photographs so Universe if you hear me...Can you just slow time down a little bit please?  K thanks!

First Communion Memories

Spring is finally upon us and that means First Communion celebrations are almost here!  Capture your little cutie with a session to remember this most special day.  I find it best to get photographs done before the ceremony so you can relax and enjoy the moment.  Sessions are $300 and include indoor and outdoor shots, weather permitting.  Email, FB message or call to schedule...spots are filling up!IMG_9677Angelina's First Communion 2016-9118Crawford Communion 2016-32Angelina's First Communion 2016-9270

All Around the Town

Growing up in New York, I took for granted the delicious pizza shop on every corner,  the view of the bridges connecting the boroughs, the bagels and the energy that's just undeniable.  Now that I live 500 miles away, I miss the city and this visit was long over due... NYC blog collage2Z9A55522Z9A55622Z9A55782Z9A5563-22Z9A55562Z9A56022Z9A56102Z9A5735nyc collage 32Z9A57292Z9A56892Z9A5726nyc collage 42Z9A57512Z9A57582Z9A57522Z9A57542Z9A57732Z9A57392Z9A57632Z9A57682Z9A56222Z9A57762Z9A57802Z9A58192Z9A5653As you can see, we ran the kids around the city.  So much to take in right?!  We hit Uptown, Downtown, witnessed peaceful protest and ate our faces off.  My love affair with NYC will never end and seeing it through the eyes of my children was really pretty cool.

What a nice surprise to see this pop up on my Facebook page...Adoption agency in Maryland. Childrens Home and LSS Adoption agency in Virginia. Adoption agency in VirginiaYou see, this image is from a recent session I did for one of the most amazing families, BUT  it's also an ad promoting the very same Adoption Agency we used to bring us to our daughter 9 years ago!   The work they do, day in and day out to bring together children and families is outstanding.  MUAH Children's Home...I'm grateful as ever.
