I know I’ve posted about a gazillion Christmas cards, but I couldn’t resist putting Mackinzie in one once I’d edited these four photos of her. She was just too precious! This is for mommy Laura, daddy Bert, & Gigi & Pop Pop while you wait for the rest of them to be finished!

So I’ve been totally inspired by all these great Christmas cards that people with mad Photoshop skills are creating (especially Amy Wenzel’s Swiss Miss Design Haus)…and I decided to try my hand at an original, funky, fun, Christmas card. It features Mike & Rachel and some not-so-traditional Christmas colors. BUT, there are snowflakes! [...]
Beautiful Bethesda, MD

This afternoon I traveled to Bethesda, Maryland to meet a fun family wanting some pictures before Christmas. My husband works in Bethesda quite a bit so it was nice to see for that reason. It was also great practice photographing a 4-year-old and a 15-month-old because those are almost the exact ages of [...]
Bella

If my memory serves me correctly, “bella” means beautiful in some language. Even if it doesn’t, it should, because this baby girl is just that….beautiful!
I got to meet and reconnect with a sweet family today. My husband knew Carrie a couple of years ago, and I was able to meet with [...]

When Mike & Rachel asked me photograph their engagement shots, I have to admit, I was a bit nervous! I’ve checked out Mike’s work as a graphic artist and he’s good! But two little birdies (named Laura & Bert) told me that Mike & Rachel were super fun and very easy to [...]

Today I got to visit Baltimore, which I know barely anything about. I can usually count on my brother-in-law Bert to find awesome spots to photograph his family. My niece Mackinzie recently turned 3 and her mom asked if I’d take a couple of shots of her for this glorious occasion!
Okay [...]

Many of you may have read about my sister, Maggie, in a previous post. Well, she finally had her baby, Leah Beth, yesterday at 11:16am. We are glad she’s finally arrived, but she isn’t completely healthy just yet. Leah was born quite quickly and has some fluid in her lungs that she needs to get [...]

Christmas? Thanksgiving? Fall? Winter? You plug in “whatever” (as my 3-year-old says) and it’s fast approaching! Halloween is over, the leaves are turning glorious shades of orange, yellow, and red, and it’s getting a wee bit nippy! Don’t forget to reconnect with loved ones near and far this Christmas [...]
