robin & skip

you know...every once in a while, i shoot a wedding that REALLY makes me wish i had done things differently at my OWN wedding. every once in a while...a wedding day is sheer perfection. from the orange and red painted trees, to the crisp morning air, to the calm serenity that descends on the entire day, to the tears of happiness from just about every single person present...

of course, there were the unbelievable details that were also breathtaking! robin did SUCH a fabulous job crossing EVERY "t" and dotting EVERY "i" and i'm not going to lie, Pam Barefoot, her wedding planner/coordinator (atrendywedding.com) did NOT miss a beat either! things ran incredibly smoothly, and i'm absolutely positive it had alot to do with pam tirelessly working her wedding-day magic as well!

why on EARTH did i not have a fall outdoor wedding?!!
i had never done a wedding at the Briar Patch Bed and Breakfast out in Middleburg, VA = BUT I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!!! everybody wore smiles from morning till night...and i truly just cannot say enough about how MUCH FUN i had!

(that is saying ALOT too, since i had undergone emergency oral surgery not even 24 hours before this wedding, so i was starving, in pain, and considerably drugged. but maybe it was for the best or i would have been bouncing off the walls!)















































































ROBIN & SKIP -- the pleasure was TRULY mine and i hope you have a FANTASTIC honeymoon! can't wait to hear all about it!!!

The deVallance Family

here's another photoshoot that will make you want to wait till FALL to have your next family portraits done!!! i think the saturday i worked with the deVallances, it was actually the first cool, crisp day of the season! it was beautiful outside, perfect for letting these two little boys run around for hours!!

when you first meet them, you're stunned that they're not TWINS!!! but the more time you spend with them, you realize how DIFFERENT each boy is -- but all in all, they were not only adorable, but hysterical as well!

thanks jennifer for inviting me to spend a gorgeous saturday morning with your family!

attention all southern belles!!!

he may only be 15 mths old...but i bet he'll be worth waiting for :)
one look at him and you'll understand!!! he's moving to a North Carolina neighborhood near you and you better be on the lookout!

this past saturday, i had the pleasure of shooting baby Dean and his parents right here in DC...! we started at the house, then went to the park, then walked back to the house -- and the weather truly could not have been better. finally a fall photoshoot that FEELS like FALL!!

people. i have seen blue eyes before.
i have seen really amazing blue eyes before.
but never in all of my life have i seen blue eyes like Dean's. i laughed to myself when i walked in and met him for the first time over how EASY those eyes were going to make my job that morning.

i had trouble picking my favorites...but here are a few that rose to the top immediately!
for the FULL EFFECT you have to click on the picture to blow it up...the blue eyes are worth the effort!











































Thanks for allowing me the opportunity to capture your final days in DC!!!
GOOD LUCK IN NORTH CAROLINA!!
