December 28, 2007 – 5:53 pm

Please excuse me if any of these were previously posted, I lost track. Happy New Year and look forward to another fabulous year. I am also including some of my personal favorites that were taken throughout the year in no random order.

dimples, a guitar and a whole lot more …

November 8, 2007 – 5:16 pm

plus some other recent work. It’s not too often I get to showcase the dads either. They were such a tightknit loving family from what I observed in the short (but fun) time we were together.

It was a party on the Potomac …

October 30, 2007 – 10:25 pm

Trying to create the scene here for you. It was simply a beautiful (but windy) day and I was hired to photograph her son. The scene was straight out of a magazine, just breathtaking in and around the property. We were out back near the pool deck and her son who was starting to take steps, reached up and turned on the outside speakers. Out came blaring, “Southern Man” by Neil Young. I am brought back to old memories and it was so much fun to see mom dancing around by the pool deck. Rock and roll continued to play ..

Songs do that to me, they always remind me of a person and place in time. This song will now always remind me of our session. I don’t necessarily dig the lyrics themselves but the music and voice gets me every time. What does this picture have to do with the story? Absolutely nothing .. just another beautiful mommy & me moment on their hammock.

just a little bit more red & orange

October 30, 2007 – 10:01 pm

I am so sad, we finally had what appeared to be the gorgeous fall colors that us Washingtonians are used to seeing year after year and then … it rained. So G, consider yourself the lucky one who was able to see these yummy red and orange leaves I wait for every year.

a few more from a session previously shared.
