- As we celebrate this Labor Day weekend, I can feel summer saying goodbye. It’s in the cooler mornings and the lower temps throughout the day. It’s in the local college campus and the energy that it emanates.
But hold up! (‘Pump the brakes’ as my cousin Mark said to me recently.) We have some August birthdays to [...]

- Hey, July! You’ve been…well, hot. Really hot and sunny and high humidity actually, which means I’ve been swimming more.
What do you do to keep cool with these hot summer days? (I've also rediscovered the joy of cool watermelon on a hot day...)
When it comes to July birthdays, we’ve had some of the best[...]

- ‘Tis the season where my Facebook feed is filled with families, joy, and graduation photos! I love seeing the happy grads, their families gathered together, and friends hugging and celebrating the journey they’ve taken together.

- Hello, June! This month is known for its kick off to summer, school getting out, and so much more!
It’s when we get to pack away the winter clothes, take out those shorts and sundresses, and feel a little sunshine on our arms.
(For my dog, I think he believes it is time to run through and submerge himsel[...]

Mr. Nussbaum, a 6th grade teacher in the Fairfax County Public Schools, shares this image and explains the idiom of how “time flies” means that time goes by very quickly, and I couldn’t think of a better way to sum up this past month. May seems to have flown right by me, and when I look back through my calendar, I[...]

- Having worked with children for years now – initially as an first grade teacher and then as a portrait and event photographer – I know one thing for sure. I know that all the children I have ever met have a song in their hearts.
Every child.
Sometimes it’s a quiet melody
and other times it’s a bri[...]

- On this Wedding Wednesday, I am so grateful for the clients who book me to capture their once-in-a-lifetime events. Working with this dynamic group of women, I was so impressed by their sense of family and friendship. It's not everyday that a gal gets to celebrate her 20th wedding anniversary and a vow renewal with t[...]

Early in the month, this dad celebrated his big day.
This sweet momma celebrated her birthday just a week later.
April, shown here visiting Hartleyhenge, followed with [...]

- Today I had the pleasure of photographing Dr. Margaret Spellings, the University of North Carolina's President, at the University Women's Club Spring Luncheon.
Held at The Carolina Club, members gathered to hear President Spellings talk about her early days as the newly elected UNC president, as well as her beli[...]

- In the creases of a mother's hands there is a history of love written there.
Over the years I have photographed mothers and their children, seen their smiles and captured their hugs. I have been a witness to the history they create together. It starts before Day One, but the days that I get to photograph the[...]
