The L Family

When Sue tole me that her son's daycare workers called her little boy the happies child they have ever had, I have to admit, I was pretty excited. As you can imagine, 1 year olds are hard to photograph, but knowting that getting a smile out of little Jacob wouldn't be a problem put my mind at ease. Here are some of my favorite shots from our session. The connection between mother and son was so beautiful, and you could just see the joy that Jacob has brought into his parents life. Thank you guys for inviting me into your home!!

Wedding in Color

Just a few more of my favorites from last week's wedding... in color :-)

Wedding Time!

This past weekend I had the privlage of documenting the a beautiful wedding with a fantastic photographer and friend AnneMarie. The wedding was simple and beautiful, and you could just feel the deep love that the bride and groom had for each other. The bride was married at St. James Catholic Church (the same church that her parents were married) and wore her mothers wedding dress which was absolutely georgous. After the wedding we took photos at the beautiful Franciscan Monastery in Washington DC. Here are just a few of my favorites in Black and White...

The best Father's Day Present!

About a week before fathers day every year I rack my brain to come up with a gift to give my dad... well, my friend K. had the same thought about what to get her husband. A few days before fathers day her daughter suggested that she talk to her "photographer friend" to get some pictures of the girls. It was quite a challenge to find a time where everyone was free and her husband wouldn't be home but thankfully her husband was working late that week and we were able to have a fantastic photo session! Now, can you think of a more perfect gift for fathers day?

My first jumping photos!

This photos reminds me of myself at that age :-)

Disney World

At the beginning of May my husband and I took a trip to Disney World to celebrate our 5 year anniversary (It's coming up in August, but we wanted to at least try for good weather!) I was playing with my new sideshow software today and figured I would start with some of my personal photos. (Disclaimer!! All of these photos were taken with a Canon point and shoot... I figured since I was on vacation I would leave work at home, and only bring around my fun easy camera on my trip.) I hope to be doing more of these slide shows in the future, they are lots of fun!

(Had to remove the slide show because it played music automatically and that is really annoying... I will re-do it and post it back up!)

If you couldn't tell, we had a blast!

Family Time

This past week has been very exciting for my family! My sister cam in town all the way from Utah with her husband and the two loves of my life (you can see them below!) to see a momentous occasion. My little brother Bryan graduated from High School! After raising 5 children my parents are now officially empty nesters (well almost...)! It has been great having almost the whole family together, and spending time with the kids (I almost want to cry thinking that they will be leaving in a few days). While they were here though, I had to get some pictures of the adorable red heads :-)

Okay, I will start with the cuties... Here is Addy!

And my favorite little boy Luke...

Yes, that hair is really that color!

Luke really loves his Pop Pops!

And his binkie...

The Graduate!

After they graduated Addy kept shouting "They did it! They did it!" over and over again... you can see from this picture how much she looks up to her Uncle Bryan.

Uncle Mike and his favorite Neice...

This picture is totally my brother...

My parents are so proud!
