Callie - 1 Year!

Hey everyone! Do you remember this adorable baby from last year?! Well can you believe that she is already 1 year old!? OMG she is just the most adorable thing. A few weeks ago we went out with mom, dad and her big brother for some super cute family portraits. We had a great time. I love the interaction in these shots!

Matt & Ashley for Kate Triano

So way back in the day I had the amazing opportunity to shoot a fabulous wedding with Kate Triano down at The Homestead. Recently Kate's amazing work was featured on Style Me Pretty, it's a must see.

Part One
Part Two
Part Three
Part Four
Part Five

All of this totally reminded me that I had yet to blog about this wedding! This will probably be a 3 part post but here are my favorite "getting ready shots".

Enjoy!

Jack - A Teaser!

Today I had a blast hanging out with and photographing our friends baby Jack. He is such a good boy who is full of laughs and smiles! Let's just say he was a total pleasure to work with!



More blogging to come soon... I promise!!!

Alison & Herb - Engagements!

I'm back! I finally am able to access my FTP and upload photos for my blog! YAY!

I am going to kick it off with an amazing session that I had with Alison & Herb at the end of January. They are getting married this spring at the American Visionary Art Museum in Baltimore and I am really looking forward to it.

We met on a nice cold day in DC at the National Portrait Gallery to shoot in their spectacular courtyard.











Then we went outside!





Walked around a bit and ended up over by the International Spy Museum and took a few shots there.





And finally before we got too cold we spotted this fantastic church. I love the rust red color with the vivid green mixed with the neutral color of Alison's coat.







I can't wait for the wedding!

YIPPIE!!!!

WeddingWire, the nation’s leading wedding technology company, just announced that I have won a 2009 Bride’s Choice Awards™!

In its inaugural year, the Bride’s Choice Awards recognizes and honors vendors from the WeddingWire Network that demonstrate excellent quality of service, responsiveness, professionalism, value of cost and flexibility. This year’s recipients represent the top three percent of WeddingWire’s vendor community, which includes over 100,000 wedding vendors from across the US. That means I am one of the very best Photographers in our area!

Unlike other awards in which winners are selected by the company, the Bride’s Choice Awards are determined exclusively by recent newlyweds through surveys and reviews.

“We are excited to launch this annual award program to honor high-performing vendors based solely on the experiences of our WeddingWire community,” according to Timothy Chi, WeddingWire’s Chief Executive Officer. “This year’s recipients have set the bar high, exhibiting excellent service and expertise in the wedding industry.”

I would like to thank my past clients for speaking on my behalf and helping me win the 2009 Bride’s Choice Award!

How Annoying!

So I know I promised tons of posts with all kinds of pictures! Well you know what happened then?! I got a nasty virus! Everything is alright now but I don't have access to my FTP yet which means I can't upload the pictures I wanted to show you!

However, I can show them via my proofing site, they just have an ugly watermark across the bottom. You guys can deal with that right?

Here he is, our new nephew Zane!









Isn't he adorable? Now here is his big sister Cassin!

MIA! The Return of Jenn!!

SO where have I been?! Why have I not posted the images from Arti & Gautam's amazing wedding? What's going to be coming up on the blog?!

Alright... really I have no excuses for falling so far behind on the blogging! It's probably the winter blues.

About Arti & Gautam. I have had such a hard time picking out just a few dozen of my favorite images to share with you all that I just have not been able to put an appropriate post together. So here is a real treat... their entire wedding slide show!

A big thanks again to my amazing second shooter Susan & my future father-in-law Gary for helping me rock this wedding!

It's a long one so it might take a bit to load. Feel free to press play and then read the rest of the blog post while it's loading.



What can you look forward to?

Well I still have an awesome wedding to blog that I shot with the amazing Kate Triano from back in November!



Also a great wedding that I shot just a few weeks ago with the lovely Kristen Gardner!



I love second shooting, it's such a blast to be able to work with other awesome photographers.

I will also be posting pictures soon of my new nephew Zane! He is just the most adorable!

On another note, the super talented Laura was kind enough to venture out into the cold to take some engagement shots for Jonathan and I a few weeks back! Feel free to check them out and leave her some blog lovin'!
