The “C” Family: Loudoun County Photographer

The “C” Family: Loudoun County Photographer

I have known this family for 6 years and I can't believe how quickly time flies.   Their daughter was born around the same time as my youngest son.  I remember her when she was just a little baby, all bundled up to take her daily walks through the neighborhood with her dog.  When she would pass by our place I would visit with her parents and try to catch her attention.  She would always stare back with a very serious face as if she was saying: "Look lady, you don't want to mess with me.  I'm in …

It pays to recycle: Loudoun County Photographer

I recently co-sponsored a community recycling project that was put on by a group of youth called Kids Indeed Succeed.  The project teaches children about the importance of recycling and how to do it.  You can see their PSA here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2XSf5fo-Pnk   The youth were even recognized by Purcellville's Mayor Bob Lazaro.  I love seeing youth take initiative in their own neighborhoods, making it a better place for everyone.  The contest involved recycling weekly, and making sure …

The “C” Family: Northern Virginia Photographer

These kids are too gorgeous!  And the little guy Mr. T, has the most awesome curls.  I've known this family for the last 6 years and our children were in the same first grade class together.  When I look at these images, I realize why I love what I do so much.  I am able to freeze a moment in time and there is no other medium, other than video, that can do this for us.  That's powerful.  One of my most favorite quotes of all time is by a renowned photographer, Henri Cartier-Bresson.  He stated: …

My baby is 12 !?!  How did that happen?: Northern Virginia Birthday Photographer

Okay so admittedly this post is more personal than my usual posts because I am blogging about my oldest child.  I can hardly believe it but she just had her birthday party on Friday.  I don't feel old enough to have a 12 year-old.  Not only that, but she is looking older to me and I just can't stop time or slow it down.  Thankfully I have her photos and we will always cherish those. For her party she wanted to do a Parisian high fashion theme.  We had fun decorating together and cutting the …

Double Delight: Northern Virginia Baby Photographer

These two sweet girls had the most entertaining personalities.  It was fun to watch them interact with each other.  One of them was such a ham and the other, well... she wasn't too fond of me.  We worked it out and got some great shots.  By the end of the session they were so tired that they fell asleep right on the family room floor.  It so nice spending time with this family.   …
