These two. Aww these two!! Rachel, like most of my brides, came as a referral from a fabulous hair and makeup team I had the opportunity to work with on a wedding last year. I love how word of mouth just travels! Anyway, she called and was wondering if I could shoot her wedding in October and unfortunately, I was already booked for her date :( I really wish I could duplicate myself like Hugh Jackman in the Prestige. I mean how cool would that be if I could shoot every wedding that I …

High School Senior Photography: Northern Virginia High School Senior Photographer
Can you believe it's time to think about senior photos? I know what you're thinking, "It's February and there aren't even leaves on the trees. I've got some time." That's what most people think and then I get those frantic calls in September: "The yearbook deadline is next week!! Help me! I need photos of my son or daughter."

It was just another Saturday for me with two photo sessions scheduled and on the calendar. Around 9:30 a.m. I got a phone call from a concerned maid of honor: "Um, we were wondering if you might be able to help us today. We have a bit of a situation. The photographer who was supposed to photograph my friend's wedding can't do it. Are you available?" I was thinking to myself: "no I am not available because I have two sessions already. How could I do two sessions and a last minute wedding?" …
Friends & Summer go together: Virginia Childrens Photographer
Recently one of my brides informed me that some of the wedding party didn't believe that I could be a mom because I looked young and I attribute this to two things, low light and my facial products. I do invest heavily in good skin care products called Kara Vita and you can find their stuff at www.karavita.com. I am telling you, it is simply the best skin care around. So to dispel any doubt, here is my 11 year-old daughter and her friend spending a warm summer evening with me in a field of …
