Digital Scrapbooking

The other day I got an e-mail from a past client and attached were some totally awesome digital scrapbook pages she created using Design House Digital templates. I just love how creative my clients are and its so fun to see how they use their photos! I think I might even start making a digital scrapbook of my own! She was kind enough to let me share them with all my readers (Thanks Toni :-)!

New Years Day Wedding | Virginia Wedding Photographer

What better way to bring in the new year than photographing the amazing wedding of Vivian and Kaiser(two of the nicest people I have ever met!).

The coolest thing about the day is that they had not one, but two ceremonies! They were first married in a Catholic ceremony at St. Charles Borromeo Church in Arlington, Virginia. They then their guests traveled to the Westfields Marriott in Chantilly, VA for the beautiful reception and a Pakistani ceremony. You could just feel all the love and excitement their families had for them and the love that they felt for each other. Thank you guys for being so awesome! I wish you all the happiness in the world as you start your new journey together!

My Living Room | David Williams Almost Alone

Two weeks ago I attended David Williams' "Almost Alone" workshop in Niantic Connecticut and it was hands down the best investment I have made in my business so far. Not only did I learn a lot about photography techniques, photoshop and album design, but my whole perspective on photography changed. David really emphasized the importance of what photographers do, capturing images for families that can be cherished by that family long after the people in those photos have passed away. Although I have memories of my grandmother that I keep inside me, its the pictures that I have of her and me that trigger those memories. I feel inspired and excited to master my craft and deliver my clients meaningful, emotional, beautiful images.


One of my assignments was to go home and photograph pieces of my living room. Below are some pieces of my life and some things that make up the space that I spend a lot of my time.

This represents the biggest accomplishment of my life (so far :-).

Fredrick MD Engagement Session| Kaitlynn and David

Do you remember two weekends ago when it was 10 degrees outside? While most people were bundled up inside sheltering yourselves from the cold, Kaitlynn, David, and I were out in Downtown Fredrick doing an engagement session! Due to crazy holiday schedules and the fact that Kaitlynn was leaving to go back to school, we were left with one day to do photos, and I have to say, looking at the photos you would never know (They did a great job)! Thank you guys for being such troopers and for being such a cute, fun couple! I can't wait to photograph your wedding in June!


We started out in the cold...

But soon ducked into the Delaplaine Visual Art Museam to warm up.

So Downtown Fredrick is officially my new favorite spot to shoot. The colors are amazing and the whole feel is just so quaint. Special thanks to the Delaplaine Visual Art Museam for letting us shoot there. I think we would have frozen otherwise!
