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

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 …

Cassie & Chris: Northern Virginia Wedding Photographer

Hi there!  Can I just tell you how much it makes my day that you are here, looking at my pics?  Thank you for stopping by!  Now onto the post at hand.  These two were scheduled to be married on one of the hottest days of July.  Yes it was supposed to be 115 F with the heat index.   So imagine a wedding dress full of layers, hot humidity, and well... you get the picture.  We decided the day prior to the wedding that a "trash the dress" session was in order.  When you hear trash the dress you …
