- For the past year on this blog, I wanted to highlight client birthdays and milestones once a month.

(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!"

- 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 [...]

This Victorian rhyme is a time-honored tradition that is believed to bring the bride good luck.

- 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.

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[...]

- As this month of love wraps up, I wanted to send an additional birthday wish out to our clients and friends who were born in the month of February. I think Style By Twee said it best when she posted this image on Instagram!
For the first of the birthdays this month, a special shout out to this guy who turned 6 [...]
