I have known this family for 6 years and I can't believe how quickly time flies. Their daughter was born around the same time as my youngest son. I remember her when she was just a little baby, all bundled up to take her daily walks through the neighborhood with her dog. When she would pass by our place I would visit with her parents and try to catch her attention. She would always stare back with a very serious face as if she was saying: "Look lady, you don't want to mess with me. I'm in …

It pays to recycle: Loudoun County Photographer
I recently co-sponsored a community recycling project that was put on by a group of youth called Kids Indeed Succeed. The project teaches children about the importance of recycling and how to do it.

One of my most favorite quotes of all time is by a renowned photographer, Henri Cartier-Bresson. He stated: …
My baby is 12 !?! How did that happen?: Northern Virginia Birthday Photographer
Okay so admittedly this post is more personal than my usual posts because I am blogging about my oldest child. I can hardly believe it but she just had her birthday party on Friday.

For her party she wanted to do a Parisian high fashion theme. We had fun decorating together and cutting the …
Double Delight: Northern Virginia Baby Photographer
These two sweet girls had the most entertaining personalities. It was fun to watch them interact with each other. One of them was such a ham and the other, well... she wasn't too fond of me. We worked it out and got some great shots. By the end of the session they were so tired that they fell asleep right on the family room floor. It so nice spending time with this family. …
