Happy Father’s Day! (photography gifts for dads)

In XYZ Extras on June 18, 2007

What a wonderful day to celebrate the love that’s shared between a father and his child(ren). Our day was nice as we spent most of it relaxing at home. We had plans to take our son to a baseball game this evening, but he said he would rather squirt Dad with the hose in the backyard for Father’s Day. I couldn’t argue with that!

Dad was excited with a new framed collage to put on his desk at work …

Special Snap: I love you baby

In XYZ Extras on June 3, 2007


How sweet is this snap? At just 10 days old, this little one is already feeling so much love from his family, especially his big brother. There’s never a bad time to photograph a newborn, but I find it’s best to do it within a few weeks after birth whenever possible. I try to keep my schedule flexible enough to accommodate newborn sessions (this session was scheduled for late June, but baby arrived three weeks early!).

"Imagine" Signature Prints

In XYZ Extras on April 26, 2007

This photograph is one of my favorites. Mom and daughter were surprising Dad with photographs for his birthday. They both had such wonderful warm spirits and excitement despite the rain and clouds.

I designed this print with an “Imagine” treatment. This treatment is one of several I offer on Signature prints from a Photo Session. I love creating Signature prints, as clients often share of the wonderful compliments they receive from family and friends who see the framed print.

THANK YOU!

Snaps of the Week: Wedding Bliss

In XYZ Extras on April 17, 2007


I love photographing a wedding. There are so many wonderful memories and fine details waiting to be recorded. I strive to catch the unexpected moments that erupt naturally, the winks and smiles that family and friends share so naturally, the countless fine details and special touches which all together blend creating the most perfect celebration. I’m sending many warm wishes to the happy couple!


Snaps of the Week: Springtime in DC

In XYZ Extras on April 6, 2007


Nothing compares to Washington D.C. in the Spring, as the cherry trees blossom and mark the beginning of a new season. Many who have never experienced the Cherry Blossoms, will say “They’re just trees,” and technically yes … they are just trees … but when you see them in person … hundreds of them together reflecting off the water of the Tidal Basin, you can’t help but be overwhelmed. I love photographing them at their peak just after sunrise … enjoy!




Happy Easter!

In XYZ Extras on April 6, 2007

This session was so much fun! Little Ms. M dressed in her Easter best and brought along her new Easter basket and some fun eggs to share with me. You don’t have to wait for a holiday or special event to have portraits taken … any day can be dress up day!




My warmest wishes to your family for a wonderful Easter.

Snap of the Week: Welcome Baby!

In XYZ Extras on February 26, 2007


I had the pleasure of spending Saturday morning with this lovely little one and his family. Can you believe he’s just two weeks old? It was perfect timing as I like to photograph newborns during the first few weeks of life whenever possible. I always try to keep my schedule flexible enough to accommodate newborns, so please contact me if you are an expeectant mother or have just given birth and would like to schedule a session.

Snap of the Week: A Family Portrait

In XYZ Extras on January 30, 2007


Many of my photo sessions are focused primarily on capturing the children only, so I’m delighted when Mom and Dad want to step-in for a few family portraits. This was my second opportunity to work with this family … the first was to photograph Mom and son as a surprise gift for Dad. What a wonderful way to celebrate family and a special event!

Snap of the Week: A Surprise Kiss

In XYZ Extras on January 22, 2007

It was an absolute pleasure to photograph this little boy with his Great Grandmother Hannah this past weekend. They just adore one another and it was a true testament of how love can keep your heart young. It’s a gift to be given the opportunity to capture moments like this one. THANK YOU!
