I admit it...I cried a few times editing this beautiful gallery. It's not every day you get to witness the miracle of life and I think I'm just going to let the images speak for themselves...Seriously...How beautiful do they all look and Mama just after giving birth!!! Welcome Baby Zoe...the third princess of the household. It was an honor to capture these moments.
Bad Ass!
These are the words that come to mind when describing this session...Our nations capital and 3 beautiful, strong confident women. Momin is HARD!!. This West Point Graduate, not only runs her own company but she 's pouring her heart into raising two young women. Just look at these gorgeous sisters...Bright, good hearted, man I can go on and on...What an amazing morning we had! The tourists were light and the rain held off and I think I may have found my new favorite spot in DC. It was truly a please to capture these moments.
Katie is a Senior!
The world needs more High School Seniors like this one...funny, smart, great taste in music and I don't even have to say beautiful.What a pleasure it was to spend the afternoon with this young woman. She's got such a bright future waiting for her . I was right there with Mom, a bit teary as we spoke about her baby leaving for college. It won't be long before I'm sending my own off. It was an honor to capture these memories and to help treasure this time that is flying by way too fast.
Take Me Back!
I know, I know...It's almost October but I finally got around to editing our beach vacation photos from this Summer. Man did it go quickly! Our hearts are in the Outer Banks, NC where we've spent the last 11 years making memories. How we miss it already...Even though we have 11 years worth of photographs, documentation of my little babies growing up on the beach, time with cousins and friends, there is something new to discover, something new to capture each and every time we go.Until next time Nags Head!
50 Years
Have you ever been the host of a party while trying to document that same party with photographs to remember all the great moments? Man is it hard. I did my best this past weekend as we celebrated my parent's 50th wedding Anniversary. Yes, you read that right...50 years of marriage!! How incredible is that?
Although my images may be a little bit blurry or not quite the angle I would have really wanted, who freakin cares? It's still documented and my parents are on a high from the evening.We picked them up in a limo, toasted to 50 more happy years together and presented them with their gift. Tickets to Macinac Island, Michigan... The location of one of their favorite old movies "Somewhere in Time" starring Christopher Reeve and Jane Seymour…
.The next stop was Old Town Alexandria for the best Old Fashioneds and sodas for the kids...And then there was dinner, where our family from New York had just driven 5 hours to surprise Mom and Dad...
Through the ups and downs, they keep on laughing and you can very rarely find one without the other. Cheers to another 50 happy years together!
Win Some, Lose Some
While I'm disappointed my image did not get chosen as a winner, it's pretty cool when a National Geographic Editor uses your work as an example of what they want for their assignment and emails it to over 5,000 people. Here is a snapshot of the email...Definitely made my day. I'm honored to be recognized among such talent...even if I didn't win.
