Halloween

Have a safe and fun night!

I love the Autumn!

I didn't take this photo (I wish I did) it's from Martha Stewart who I just love!  This represents one of the many things I love about Autumn!  Enjoy!

Creating new backdrops.

While visiting my sister in Arizona she taught me how to use a sewing machine (it's been awhile).  I purchased 6 new fabrics and we got to work on finishing one set... after all it was a vacation.  My nieces stepped into help, taking photos and video of the project.  My husband also lent a hand helping me iron.  Thanks you guys!

I recently was able to use the finished one this past weekend.  What do you think?  My model was so cute and I love how the shots turned out.  

The perfect Autumn evening on the farm.

This has been my second time shooting London & Grace.  The last time was in April 2009 and boy have they grown both in height and personalities.  They were such good little models!  They have a very close knit family.  One day I'm going to capture the whole family in a beautiful photograph.

Christmas time!

Brock

Today, I met Brock a one an half year old that kept me on my toes!  His mom told me he was a mover and she wasn't kidding.  He had me running all over the farm.  With all his energy I was still able to get some really cute and memorable shots of him.  Thanks again Alisca for choosing to work with me when I know you had a great list of photographers to chose from.  I hope you like them.

I'm only posting three photos now since I'm off to Arizona for 10 days and will post more when I return.

The Out of Darkness Walk

Saturday, my friend Amanda is promoting the "Out of Darkness" community walk at Howard County Community College for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention.  She asked me if I would donate anything for the cause to help raise money for the AFSP.  I was honored that she asked me and more than happy to put together a photography basket.   Amanda lost her father to suicide ten years ago when she was only fifteen, so this is a very special cause for her.  You can read more about her and the event here: http://www.explorehoward.com/community/75314/darkness/ and about the walk on this facebook page: http://www.blogger.com/goog_103629479facebook.com/event.php?eid=132924956738508
Last night I delivered the basket and she gave me one of the t-shirts for the walk.  I was shocked to see the placement of my logo.  It made me so happy to see how my business has grown and that with growing I've been able to give back.  I really hope my small donation of a photo basket with photo session will help her continue to educate and help those in need.

Max

I met Max at the Fall Festival on September 25th and his Mom asked me to come to their home and shoot photos of him for his birth announcements.  They have a beautiful house and welcomed me and my creative imagination into their home.  Max was such a good baby.  He never cried and was awake during the whole session, however he wasn't a fan of being on his belly.  Part of her package was custom made birth announcements made by me.  She had three designs to choose from and four finals to pick from.  The winner was:

I colored out some of their information to protect their privacy

and my logo is not on the final print.

Bryan & Nicole's Engagement Session

Bryan and Nicole fell in love two years ago.  They met in college but, reconnected on Facebook.  We were going to shoot their engagement session on the beach last week but the weather didn't cooperated.  We came close to another wash out last night as it started to rain in Washington DC right at the end of their session.  Even thou this wasn't our original location to shoot things have away of working out for the better. Their first date was in Washington DC so it was fitting to shoot their engagement photos here.

NYC

My husband and I went to New York city for a friends wedding and these are some photos we took while being tourists.
