Lost of photos to come, I Promise!

Okay, I just realized that I have not posted for almost 2 weeks now... Last weekend I had two family photo shoots, and photographed my first corporate event, but due to the crazy busy week I have not had time to put up any photos on my blog (I am still not done with my Christmas shopping and am leaving for South Carolina on Tuesday 6:00 am). Tomorrow I am assisting at a wedding and I am super excited! Please check back next week and I will definitely have lots of pics up to show. I hope everyone is doing well and enjoying the holidays!!

New Logo!

If you have visited my site lately, you have already seen my new logo, but I just thought I would make it official with a real post. Jessica from Funky Peach Designs (http://funkypeach.blogsome.com/) created this awesome logo for me last week. She is amazing! I had an idea of what I wanted, but she totally took it to another level. Now that I have my logo, I feel like I can really start moving ahead. I spent 7 hours on Saturday working on my website (which should hopefully be up in the next few weeks :-), so now I just have to finish that, get cards made up, start a new blog (?), and get lots of business!! So much to do and only so little time. Well I hope you guys like it!

Fun with Flash

Today was a rainy mess here in the DC area. I had a photo shoot scheduled with a friend of mine who is moving to Japan on Tuesday, so rescheduling was not an option. Thankfully I had my trusty Canon Speedlite. This was my first photo shoot with my flash so I was a little nervous but am so happy how it turned out. Thankfully they also had a nice covered porch so we got some "natural light" photos as well. Good luck Jerad, Allison, and Aiden on your big move!






The whole family!

Family and Pies

I had a wonderful thanksgiving today... I was able to spend the afternoon with family, good food, and lost of Pies! I even tried out a new sweet potato casserole recipe, similar to the Boston market recipe (SOOO GOOOD!). It used 2 cups of sugar, almost 2 sticks of butter and only 3 sweet potatoes, so you know it was good :-) After dinner we realized we had 6 deserts for 8 people! 4 pies and 2 cakes, needless to say I am currently still in a food coma. I took some pictures of pies and family below... Enjoy!


This was the table scape after dinner, I still think it looks AMAZING!

Dad

Mom (Yes I have good genes in my family!)

My brother and his awesome Fiance!

Me... Not my favorite pic, but I figured I would would put one up of me.

Me trying to be artistic!

The M Family

This past weekend I had the opportunity to photograph a beautiful little girl named Julia (beautiful is an understatement). She was such a trooper out in the cold and past her nap time... Thank you guys for a great session photo session! With families like yours, this doesn't feel like a job (and I'm not just being cheesy, I really mean it!) :-)

Shout out to all the Twilight Fans!

OK, most people who read this probably know that I am a HUGE Twilight fan (yes, I am one of those people). Well I have been anxiously awaiting the release of the movie and guess what? Today is the day! Me and all the people I have gotten into twilight (some found it on their own), are going to see the late show tonight and I seriously cannot express my excitement! Here are some movie stills I jacked from the web...

The E Family

NOTE: I shold be in bed but once I start with the blog, I can't stop!

Last weekend I had the oppertunity to photograph the "E" family. I know this family through church and have been secretely hoping to get to photograph their beautiful children, so I was so excited when I was asked! It was really cold out. Thank goodness kids don't mind the cold!












Oh to be a child again!

Three boys and a little lady!

I had a nightmare last night that as I was photographing this family, my lens fell off and broke. I am glad that my nightmare didn't turn into a reality and I was able to capture these images.









I always insist to get a picture of mom and dad alone. What a cute couple!
