Before I am a photographer, I am a daughter, a sister, an auntie, a friend. Maybe that's why I cry during every father daughter dance. I laugh at every toast. I well up when an Officiant pronounces a couple husband and wife. I buzz with joy chasing children around the playground. I feel awe when a newborn's tiny hand clutches my pinky finger. I draw from the emotions I have experienced through my own life's most precious moments to know when and how to capture those of others, and I usually can't help feeling overwhelmed myself! The emotional rush I feel when I'm behind the camera is what makes me love what I do. The joy I bring others through photography is what makes me do what I love.

Fun at the US Botanic Gardens!

Today, I went down to the US Botanic Garden with my friend, Kristen, and her son, Andrew. It was a gorgeous day - the nice weather was a welcome break in August's usual sweltering heat.


Andrew was as fascinated as Kristen and I were with the gorgeous display of Chihuly glass (part of the USBG's "Art in the Garden" Exhibition).


I think this is Andrew's favorite expression (for the moment!).



This picture has "fun" and "summertime" written all over it!



We decided to hang out a bit on the front lawn of the Capitol before heading to Union Station for some lunch and the Metro trip home.



Fun at the Botanic Gardens Slideshow!
