If you are on a diet or trying to get in shape for your wedding, then I apologize in advance for this post and I suggest you just click the little "x" button in the upper left hand corner of your screen. My sister-in-law was visiting a couple of months ago and we happened to be at the grocery store picking up a few things. She went to the freezer section and picked up some of this Talenti gelato. I had never heard of Talenti before and I'm picky about gelato because sometimes it can be just …
Sweet little babe: Ashburn Newborn Photography
I have had a bunch of newborns come through my Loudoun newborn photography studio over the last couple of months. And I hate to admit that I can't seem to find the time to blog every one of them.

I loved meeting her family and capturing these first professional photographs for this Ashburn family. Enjoy! …
Monday Morning Ramblings: Virginia Wedding Photographer

Pretty soon gray walls and gray accessories were popping up everywhere on pinterest (disclaimer, I do have gray kitchen cabinets). I don't think there's anything wrong with wanting …
A Beautiful Maternity and Newborn Session: Loudoun Newborn Photography
This winter has been surprisingly busy with newborn sessions. I have had a newborn in my studio every week this winter. The wonderful thing about that was that in spite of the wintery weather outside, I was inside snuggling these little babies and it sure made the winter months less dreary. I had the good fortune of meeting these parents last fall to capture their pregnancy photos and we did them right around where I live in Loudoun. A few months later, they were back with this darling girl …
