Settled In or Just Plain Crazy?

We have internet at the house, which means we are connected back to the world -- YIPEE!!

Although our lives have been quite hectic for the past 2 weeks, everything is going very well and we are getting settled in the new house. Many of you have asked for pictures, but if you know me well enough, you know that I can't show you pictures until I have the place looking "just so". So, you'll have to wait on interior pics, but I can show you the outside!

(view from the back deck --- LOVE the wooded area!!)

You have also been asking me how the girls are doing. Bailey has handled the whole thing like a champ as she does everything. She wasn't a fan of packing up the old house and loosing "her stuff and her room," but she loves the new house and is doing great. We were most worried about Kelsee since she is our major stresser and doesn't like anything new AT ALL. Surprisingly (and a major blessing), she has done wonderfully. I think the fact that she has a fenced in back yard, a huge empty lot next to us covered with trees, and a much quieter neighborhood has really helped. She loves it.

Lastly, just to reinforce the fact that I'm a little crazy, I thought I'd share my attempt at a recent project with you. I wanted to enter a contest with other photographers that required that I take my own self-portrait --- completely on manual settings and without any help from anyone else. In the midst of moving I, of course, procrastinated until the very last day to take my self-portrait, so ended up on our back deck looking like a complete idiot running back and forth to try and get myself in focus, etc. Let's just say I REALLY stink at this and I'm better off just sticking to taking pictures of other people!! I did not enter the contest and you can see why below. After WAY too many attempts at a decent photo I resorted to taking stupid pictures of myself just for the fun of it. Yes, I know most are not in focus.....it's HARD, people!!! :-)


Happy Friday --- hope you all have a fantastic weekend! Mine is very busy, but I should have a lot of photos to share when it's over!

OH! The trauma of moving!

Hold on to your seats for a heart-wrenching post. :-)

So this will be Bailey and Kelsee's very first move. Our current house is the only home they've ever known. In many ways, this is a very good thing because as we've packed boxes, taken pictures off walls and moved furniture, they have not really been affected. It's kind of like vacation -- the first time we pulled out our suitcases and packed them full of clothes, it didn't phase the girls. Now, however, after a number of vacations, when the suitcases come out of the closet, the girls get sad, pouty and a little anxious. Maybe because all of our clothes and suitcases are still where they belong, the girls are oblivious and their usual, happy puppy-selves.


DUN, DUN, DUN.....and then, all that changed. We started packing the guest bedroom (a.k.a. THEIR room) and suddenly they figured out that something was changing.....and I don't think they liked it one bit! As Will and I were taking pictures off the walls and wrapping up the accessories, we looked at the bed to find these two pathetic creatures.....


Both of them were hiding their heads under the bed....and they wouldn't come out. No, there weren't any balls or other fun toys stuck under the bed that they were fixated on....I checked. They were like little kids who think that if they cover their eyes, what's happening around them isn't REALLY happening. We finally pulled them from their den of denial and brought them into our room. There, they just pouted...

Apparently there is comfort in having each other to hold. ;-)

This last picture was actually taken a month or so ago, but it's too cute not to share. I had taken all of the sheets off the guest bed for washing and the comforter was folded at the end of the bed. Bailey, naturally, made herself at home right in the middle of the comforter. Will took the liberty of making it into a personal puppy-sized bed for the little princess herself....


Happy Thursday! :-)

Wedding and Engagement Photographer, Northern Virginia

I love this couple!!! Typically it is part of my job to be funny and make the clients smile and laugh....ya, not with these two...they kept me laughing the entire time!! When we arrived at the site yesterday, they informed me that there would be a new addition to the engagement photos. Hmmm....whatever could this be??? A NEW PUPPY!!! Need I babble on and on about how much fun yesterday's session was? I think not. :-)


I love this one. The puppy is like, "no, ALL kisses are now for MEEEE!!!"

Adorable. She looks quite at home being snuggled by Mom and Dad, huh!!

Be still my heart. Too cute.

N and S, congratulations on the engagement and the new puppy!!! :-) And thanks for being such a blast...can't wait until the 18th!

Family Photographer, Northern Virginia

Today I had the pleasure of spending time with my dear friend, Monica, and her 2 boys. Monica is gorgeous, isn't she??!!!! And she's such a good mama --- those boys love her to pieces. We took some fun family photos and then the boys played in the fountain, which made for some super fun pictures as well!


Love you, Mon!!! I had such a good time today! Thanks for "understanding"!!! :-)

This past weekend, I had the very great pleasure of photographing the wedding of Lindsay and Mark. They are such a sweet and easy-going couple, so my job was nothing but fun. Here are a few images from their beautiful outdoor wedding at the River Farm in Alexandria, VA.


Thanks, Lindsay and Mark for letting me be a part of your day! I had a wonderful time. Congratulations!

Morning Walk

I woke up this morning with a little extra spring in my step, you know those days where every cloud has this obviously huge silver lining and the ordinary things just seem so extraordinary. I normally take the girls on a morning run, but today I chose to take the same route and instead we walked it, taking in all the beauty. I brought my camera along and here are some of the beautiful things we saw...


Have a wonderful day!
