A Beautiful Engagement Session: Emily & Anthony

This weekend I had so much fun exploring the grounds of the Philadelphia Art Museum with soon-to-be bride and groom, Emily & Anthony.  These two have spent the past few years living here in this city and it was so much fun to capture them back in their old neighborhood.  Looking forward to shooting their beautiful wedding next month!

Brand New Baby Roderick

It is always so much fun to capture the arrival of a little one during their first few moments of life.  Melissa and Rod are overjoyed with their new little bundle of joy, Roderick Maison. Welcome to the world, little guy!

The Boys Have Arrived & They're Double the Fun!

This week I had so much fun meeting 4 week old twins, Joseph & Julian.  These boys stole my heart from the moment I walked in and were so much fun to photograph.  Enjoy these little sleepy fellas!

Puppy Love - Family Session

This weekend I had so much fun photographing this beautiful family in the little town of Newtown, Pa.  Mystica, Scott, & Molly were the perfect subjects on such a misty spring morning in the park.  This family had fun dressing the part, even little Molly got in on the action.  Enjoy!

Newborn Session - Cainas Family

This past week I had the amazing opportunity to work with this beautiful family as they adjust to their new life as a family of four.  Never a dull moment in this house, with two year old Eli and newborn brother, Caleb.  Mama Lisa is totally outnumbered in this all boy house, but it's totally obvious that she wouldn't have it any other way.  Enjoy!

Puppy Love - Engagement Session

This weekend I had the amazing opportunity to capture newly engaged couple Cait & Dustin in the beautiful town of Ambler, Pennsylvania.  Their two pups Corderoy & Claude were along for the ride and made for some exciting moments as we trekked across the snow covered fields of Prophecy Park.  Last week, they found out that old boy Corderoy is sick, although you would never know it by watching this energetic pup.  For now, Cait and Dustin are enjoying both of their boys and treasuring each and every day together.  Enjoy!

Another Lovely Fall Wedding - Annandale, VA

This weekend I had the amazing opportunity to photograph my dear friends, Brian & Corey's wedding day!  Their beautiful ceremony took place on a gorgeous fall day in Annandale, Virginia and was attended by many close friends and family.  This was such a very special day because same-sex marriages have just recently become legalized in Virginia.  In fact, Brian & Corey were the first same-sex wedding to occur at their church in Northern Virginia.  A commemorative quilt now hangs in the church lobby to celebrate this joyous occasion.  The two have such a beautiful love for one another which was apparent to all who attended.  They have both waited for such a long time for this day to come.  So happy for them!!

Family Session: Bucks County, Pa

A Beautiful Outdoor Wedding - Middleburg, Virginia

This weekend I traveled to the quaint little town of Middleburg, Virginia to photograph Nicki and Reid's Wedding Day.  Nestled amongst the rolling hills and vineyards of the Virginia countryside, Nicki and Reid said I Do in a beautiful outdoor ceremony.  These two didn't let a little rain spoil their day but instead celebrated nature throughout their ceremony which included planting a small sapling.  Guests enjoyed the beautiful atmosphere created by the couple's hand made origami centerpieces spread throughout the reception venue.  A brick oven was brought in to cook up delicious pizzas for guests to enjoy. 

Newborn Session: Washington DC

Last week I spent such a fun day with brand new baby girl Valentina.  She was all smiles for her first photo session and mama & daddy couldn't have been happier cuddling up with their beautiful little girl on such a chilly DC day.

Maternity Session: Washington DC

This week I had the awesome opportunity to photograph this mama-to-be in Washington DC.  With only a week or so to go before baby arrives, this mama braved the cold winter weather and rocked this maternity session!

Old Town Alexandria Scottish Parade

Every year our family looks forward to the annual Scottish Walk Parade in our little town of Old Town Alexandria.  It has been a tradition since we first headed down to Virginia and it is always my favorite part of the holiday season.  This year, as always, we were fortunate to have another day with fantastic weather (although a bit chilly). 

Family Photo Session - Alexandria, Va

Today I spent another beautiful fall day photographing this little family of three in Alexandria, Va.  Little Owen's bright blue eyes and whispy blonde hair couldn't have been any cuter against the bright fall leaves.  And his mama brought along some of the cutest little hats I have ever seen...Just loved them!  Enjoy!

Family Session - Ashburn, Va

This weekend I had the pleasure of working with this beautiful family of five in Ashburn, Va.  The fall leaves were so vibrant on this unusually warm November morning as we walked through the woods snapping family photos.  The 3 kids couldn't have been more fun to photograph.  Enjoy! 

Family Fall Session - Georgetown

Enjoy a quick preview of this beautiful family that I had the pleasure of working with this past weekend.  It was so much fun to work with such energetic little boys.  Can't wait to share the rest...Enjoy!

Timbreblue Whippet Reunion

This past weekend, we drove our little girl - Willow to her annual family reunion.  This is by far one of my favorite days of the year!  Our breeders throw a reunion every year and encourage all of their whippet families to bring back their pups to play and visit with one another.  This year, we met so many amazing new friends that have become part of this wonderful family!  The pups play and snuggle together (and in some cases end up snuggling with their litter-mates or parents who they haven't seen for years)  Several times throughout the day, Willow found her mama, Juliet. They both laid on her little blanket for a quick snooze...  What a beautiful day!  We are already looking forward to next year!  It's not everyday that you find such a wonderful breeder as Timbreblue Whippets.  The pups will always be a part of their family and they enjoy seeing them all return each year as much as we do.  Enjoy!

A Beautiful Outdoor Wedding - Old Town Alexandria

A few weeks ago, I photographed this gorgeous outdoor wedding on a beautiful ship docked in Old Town Alexandria, "The Cherry Blossom".  The bride, Megan and her dear friends worked hard to coordinate everything right down to the very last detail for her day.  Under one of the most beautiful blue skies I have ever seen, Megan and Bill exchanged vows in front of their closest friends and family while overlooking the Potomac River.  Nobody could have asked for a more perfect day.  Enjoy!

A Beautiful Fall Wedding at Camp Kiwanee

Check out this beautiful outdoor wedding in the beautiful little town of Hanson, Mass.  The bride & groom spent months planning everything down to the very last detail for their special day.  All of their hard work finally paid off...and they were blessed with a gorgeous fall day surrounded by friends and family at Camp Kiwanee.  Enjoy!

Rehearsal Dinner Party - Cincinnati, OH

Check out this beautiful rehearsal dinner held in Cincinnati for my dear friend Paige and her (now husband) James on the night before their wedding.  Enjoy!

End of Summer Puppy Pool Party

This year, our building decided to celebrate the last day of our pool season by hosting the 1st ever Doggy Day Pool Party!  All of the residents brought their little pooches to celebrate and enjoy a nice swim on a hot day.  We all had a great time and are already looking forward to next year!  (Notice our little Willow sporting her hot pink polka dot bikini) Enjoy!
