  • Tony & Mary – 4.26.08

    I can’t say enough fabulous things about Sarah Hodzic of Blink Photography, and I had so much fun shooting with her and Michael Juiliano at Tony & Mary’s wedding this past Saturday. I’ll just share a few of my favorite images here, but for the whole beautiful story definitely go take a look at Sarah’s blog!

    I’m specifically starting off with a couple images of the Fort Belvoir Chapel, because I had never been to Fort Belvoir before and didn’t know what to expect. The chapel was so beautiful with big windows allowing for lots of natural light.


    These are my favorite flowers!


    Mary was an absolutely stunning bride; check out the back of her dress. Gorgeous!

    You know I love photographing kids, so when I saw all of the little ones squeezing together with their arms around each other I had to get this one from the back, too.


    Just lovely. And so fun. Thank you to Sarah for inviting me along, and to Tony and Mary for allowing me to share this day with them!

  • Honk If You’re Happy

    I was driving home from work today and passed alongside a minivan with a kid in the passenger seat holding a sign out the window with the words “honk if you’re happy” scribbled on it. So I honked enthusiastically a few times and he bounced up and down in the seat laughing. I drove on thinking about how my younger brother and I would do stuff like that on family road trips (we especially loved to wave or give people a simple thumbs-up sign) and it made me smile.

    That’s all, just a little bright spot in my day!

  • Family Portraits

    Yesterday morning I had so much fun doing some portraits of this beautiful family. How gorgeous are they? Take a look (I especially LOVE this first black-and-white of them – so sweet!):






    And then yesterday afternoon I second-shot for Sarah Hodzic along with Michael Juiliano at a really nice wedding in Fort Belvoir, but more on that soon!

  • Retro Photos

    Fellow photographer, the fabulous Jessica Del Vecchio (who I will have the honor of working with next weekend!) did this on her blog and I thought it was such a fun post so I’m doing the same. Here are a few photos I scanned of me as a tot:

    Yes, I do still have the same hairstyle now as I did in elementary school! (Edit: Okay now it’s your turn! Post your baby/childhood photos!)

  • Matt & Julie – 4.18.08

    As promised, here are a few of the images I shot for the wedding with Shelby Leigh last Friday. Everything was so beautiful and fun, and the couple was so sweet! Oh and this officially completes number 73 on my 101 in 1001 list, “second-shoot at a wedding.”
