Time spent with old friends...

I love my new home and my new town but I do miss my old friends. I was so excited to make the trip into Ashburn to take photos of this family. I have known them since the men were boys and before they had the last four... not to mention the fact that I have a daughter who is the same age as their youngest girl and they got baptized on the same day... pretty special for them. So let's just say that this family is like family to me and I loved spending an evening in their home catching some of their life on film.

Good times...

Another wedding opportunity for me this past weekend. What fun to work with this couple... they are very much in love and very happy. Despite lots of stress (what wedding wouldn't be complete without it right?) all turned out beautifully. I was grateful to be there to capture their special day.

Thursday night party

What a fun family! We did an indoor shoot in their home and they had a ball. They were so well behaved for the not so fun stuff and then when we said they could jump on the couch (with the approval of mom and dad of course) they let loose.

Nothing in the world like it...

the start of a new family on this earth that is! I was so grateful to have the opportunity to not only attend the wedding of my brother-in-law but to take photos of their special day.

Baby makes four...

I love this little spitfire and her mother... I haven't know them for very long but they have become one of those friendships you cherish. Thank you for letting me be a part of this new little life that is about to grace your family.

Four Generations...

These are some of the greatest women I know... so much love in their family. They pull together and help out whenever necessary... I was honored to capture a bit of this on film. Thanks for letting me be a part of it.

I don't think I have laughed so hard...

...at a photo shoot that is. These guys were hilarious. We had great time on a beautiful fall evening... lots of great light. Saw some new territory in the valley and once again was reminded that I love what I do.

Basketballs, dolls and tractors...

Who knew those three things could equally such fun for me. First off I must say thank you to these two wonderful girls who were so helpful in moving props and grabbing my stuff for me. Thanks girls. We had a great time despite the rather chilly wind that decided to kick up about 1/2 way through the day... they were such sports about being a bit chilly but still trying to smile. Hope you have fun on the airplane :-)
