We love our military babies! Especially ones as cute as this little princess was! She was such a super star, and she even let us put her in her daddy’s BDU (now they’re called ACU–back in the days when my siblings and I were in Civil Air Patrol, we called them BDU’s– jacket!) We specifically...
Oh my goodness. Those girls in their dresses! That little boy in his suspenders! So stinking adorable! This family was just so beautiful. Plus their two girls were completely comfortable in front of the camera and just did their thing…making it priceless. Their little brother decided he liked to be a model too, and warmed...
First thing I want to mention is….oh my goodness look at this little princess’s hair! So amazing! (her mom said that it looked like she had come out of the salon) Second, she was an absolute angel for the whole session, and we are super duper happy with the images we got with this cutie! ...
Today, I was actually in the area after doing a couple’s shoot in DC, and saw this massive pillar of black smoke around 11:45am. It was almost like I was being mesmerized by a powerful force, and couldn’t look away. It was scary but fascinating…a chilling personal experience I will never forget. I’m actually glad...
There is something truly magical about the glow of a mother….of the expecting, the waiting, the anticipation… Let me just saw how amazingly wonderful this session was with Haneen and her husband!

Charles and Desiree chose this iconic place to do their engagement portraits, and I think it turned out so amazing! The National Harbor is such a great place to take portraits and engagements, like this one! And even first birthday pictures! All of which we’ve done there before! But this is a great place to...
I have a confession to make…I think backyard weddings are probably one of my all-time favorites! There’s just something about having a family home or their own home as the venue, especially when it’s a cool farm like this one! And even better, is when you get a bride (like Felesha) who wants to ride...

I honestly had no clue that this was happening…until one of our clients texted me! (it was probably close to 1:30am) She said, “There’s a night rainbow around the full moon outside right NOW. It’s a Christmas miracle. Go outside and see it if you can.” Boy, thanks so much Paula for texting me!!!!!! What...
Okay, so let me just begin by saying we love Fredericksburg! It still has a small town charm to it.

So as promised…yesterday I mentioned I was going to attempt my own version of the snow princess feel.
