Everyone there shared smiles and laughter and the level of joy was palpable.

Thank you for allowing me to capture your love.

Elisabeth is a Graduating!: Loudoun County Senior Portraits

I think I have to yell it from the rooftops, and maybe I will because I LOVE SENIOR PHOTOS!!!! I always tell my husband, “I wish I could photograph more seniors.” What I love about this age is the anticipation, the accomplishment, the willingness to be free and really embrace becoming a young adult. I have way too much fun photographing seniors and this is just to let you all know I will be doing more senior sessions in the future and I am super excited about it. Stay tuned for some senior sessions coming to the blog soon. In the meantime, enjoy lovely Elisabeth. She is an avid soccer player and a great student. I had so much fun with her around Leesburg and I hope her first year at college is just the beginning of her amazing tale.

Longing for Summer: Washington State Family Photos

Every time this time of year I start getting just a little antsy. Maybe it’s because my birthday always hits this month and it’s the month before the kids get off from school. I’m not sure, but I do know that my mind wanders to the summer months when I get to spend time with my family. I typically take most of the month of July off so I can really refresh and spend quality time with the most important people in my life, my family. We try to plan a family vacation to visit relatives and given that I have two grandparents still living, I try my best to get back and see them. It’s a time for me to remember what life is all about and reconnect with my family members. This year we had the addition of two new babies from my younger brothers. I can’t wait to get back to Washington State and visit with everyone.

I also love photographing in Washington, especially by the water. While I was back there last summer I decided to do family pics of my sister’s family by the ship docks in Ilwaco, Washington. As you can see from the pics, photographing my nieces and nephew is just pure fun and I can’t wait to do it again this summer. Enjoy and here’s to warm weather and happy hearts!
