Beth & BJ- Engaged!!!
Last week I had a lovely engagement session in Lafayette Square with a fantastic couple. The weather was just starting to cool down, the afternoon light was super pretty, and Beth and BJ were oh-so-cute and in love. We checked out some new and some familiar spots in the square before heading over to nearby Lafayette Square Park, where we were happily surprised to find a good number of flowers...
A few new favorite things!
So this blog post is all about some of the new products that I offer that have me all excited. :) I recently changed my packaging for my wedding dvds, and I was so excited when I got the first one in! The material and printing for these photo cases are beautiful, and I love that I can actually customize them to match the wedding album cover if the couple chooses an album with a photo cover…...

Emily, Eric, and a Barracuda....
Meet cute couple Emily and Eric and their fiesty barracuda…er…. um… kitten. This cute little guy earned his name, “Barry,” short for Barracuda, because he has a little bit of a tendency to nip at the hand that feeds him (and apparently the hand that photographs him… but no worries, he didn’t bite hard). Mainly I think he was a little freaked out by being...

The Kirrage Family
For mother’s day this year, I did a little portrait session giveaway on my facebook page. For a chance to win a family portrait session for their mother, all people had to do was share on my facebook wall the reasons why their mom is an amazing woman. So many amazing stories were submitted! I randomly drew a winner, and Samantha Kirrage was very excited to have something meaningful and fun...

Preston, Meatball, and their Momma
I was pretty darn excited about this photo session. For one thing- I have a huge mushy soft spot in my heart for bulldogs. Love them. Love their short, stocky builds, their smushed faces and their big lolling tongues, and their huge ear to ear grins. If I wasn’t such a bad housekeeper (and by that I mean I don’t vacuum often enough to keep up with a shedding dog, which forces me to...

Zeus
I gotta say I kinda love the rockin’ dog names I’ve been seeing- first Atticus, and now… meet Zeus! Yes, God of dogs…. this gorgeous, white, American Eskimo and his beautiful owner, Emily were a lot of fun to photograph! Zeus was a perfect little dog model, in spurts of about 60 seconds at a time… and in between those perfect modeling moments he got so excited from hearing his name called, a toy...

Atticus
Meet Atticus- a super cute and majestic (while sometimes drooly) bullmastiff pup (can I still call him a pup when he is as tall as me when he stands on his hind legs?). I had an awesome time photographing Atticus with his “mom” Mandie and her boyfriend Dan as part of my Dog Days of Summer event. He sat really well, gave sweet slobbery kisses, and was very patient with us squeaking a...

Smokey and the Bandit
My parents recently went crazy and on a whim got two kittens (I should say that my dad went crazy, since I think he brought them home without asking my mom first ;). My mother had been bugging me to come visit, come visit (she’s a little needy like that- I guess that means she loves me)… but since I had been pretty busy with work, I hadn’t made time in a few days. As soon as...

Personal Post-the lake where my dad taught me to...
When I was a little girl, my dad, an avid fisherman, took it upon himself to teach my sister and I to fish. He bought us child-sized fishing poles and put little, round wooden “lures” at the end of the line where the hook would normally go so that we could practice casting in our backyard. Then some days, he would take us to Lake Trails. Lake Trails is a big piece of land with a big...
