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.

First session of a Year-in-the-Life Family Portrait Package :: Candy Cane City, Chevy Chase, Maryland



I was so excited to finally meet Elizabeth & Mohammed and their adorable children for our family portrait session. It is the first of 4 sessions included in their Year-in-the-Life package. I just love being able to document a family over the course of a year.





Our first session took place at
Candy Cane City in Chevy Chase. It was so fun running around and capturing the kids having so much fun, despite the hot weather.







These EYES! Can you get over them?!

Continuation of the Auntie Tour :: Columbus, Ohio :: Visiting Tate




Last weekend, I headed to Columbus to visit my sister and brother-in-law, and my fun and sweet nephew, Tate. It was so nice to visit with them and I had a great time hanging out and relaxing.





I love this series... what a ham!

















We headed over to
The Topiary Park for a picnic lunch. The park is quite neat... a topiary interpretation of George Seurat's A Sunday Afternoon on the Isle of La Grande Jatte. I think that was the first painting I ever fell in love with as a child. I had a poster of it hanging in my bedroom. And then, in high school, I became obsessed with Sondheim's Sunday in the Park with George. So it was cool to check out the topiary version too.













A few fun family shots...







Next stop on the "2009 Summer Auntie Tour" is Cleveland to visit my darling niece Scarlet for Labor Day!

I've been crazy busy lately but the blog will soon be updated with lots of exciting things!
