Usually most Sundays I make chocolate chip cookies. The kids love it and let's face it, warm chocolate cookies with milk are simply delicious. It's become a tradition so much so that if I'm not feeling like making chocolate chip cookies, the kids really give me a hard time and so I always relent. Last night before I went to bed, I turned off the kitchen light and what do you know? Sitting on the cookie rack was this one chocolate chip cookie with a bite taken out of it. There are a few …

Charlynn & Hunter Married in St. Maarten: Destination Wedding Photographer, St. Maarten Wedding Photography
It was the end of January and most people wouldn't choose this as the time to get married, but when you're getting married in lovely St. Maarten, you can't go wrong.

Zach and Alexandria are …

Rachel & Bryan Engaged: Virginia Wedding Photographer
I remember back in 2009 when I was living in Panama and Rachel's family was also living there at the time. In fact her family lived just down the road from us in a neighborhood called Albrook. Rachel worked at the embassy on her summers off from college. Whenever I saw her she always had a smile on her face because that's just the kind of person she is, happy! I didn't know her as well as I knew the rest of her siblings. Her little brother was friends with my kids and her younger sister …
