It's that time of year when my business cranks into overdrive and sessions happen almost every other day. It's not hard to see why when you live in a beautiful spot like Round Hill, Virginia. The maple trees and the oaks are giving their last burst of glory before they go into hiding for the winter. The colors that line the Blue Ridge Mountains in the fall are dramatic, brilliant, and worthy of a long Sunday drive. Fall is a favorite time to do family photography and it's easy to understand …

Sisters… sisters… who could ever live without a sister?: Loudoun County Photographer
So if you know what movie and song the post title is from, leave a comment and you'll be the lucky winner of a beautiful photo frame Christmas ornament!

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.

I love seeing youth take initiative in their own neighborhoods, making it a better place for everyone. The contest involved recycling weekly, and making sure …
