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!
