- Photography is so subjective. An image that you love may not elicit the same reaction from everyone. It was Ansel Adams who said,
“You don’t make a photograph just with a camera.
You bring to the act of photography all the pictures you have seen,
the books you have read,
the music you have heard,
the people you [...]

- For the past year on this blog, I wanted to highlight client birthdays and milestones once a month.
You see, I love birthdays. I think milestone events like the day we are born are a big deal. These are the details that make up our lives.
(My birthday often falls on Thanksgiving.) And instead of getting lost i[...]

- During these holidays, I would like to talk with you about the word love.
We use it often to describe things, people, and our affection for both. I am totally that person who often exclaims, "I LOVE THAT!"
And when we hear that word love, how many of us think in terms of romantic love? What if we reminde[...]

- I've been a wee bit quiet on the blogging front...and boy have I missed it! There's something so peaceful about sitting down to write. It's a chance to quiet the busy-ness in the world, and focus on one thing at a time.

- 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 [...]

- 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[...]

- 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[...]

- The one question I’ve gotten over the past few weeks has nothing to do with portrait sessions and everything to do with photography. A number of my teen clients have reached out to ask about books and reading, but not a textbook and not schoolwork…so what is the question they are asking?
"What interesting YA Lit book[...]
