The National Capital Chapter of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society is having their annual MS Walk in the Washington DC metro area, and I’m so excited that I’m going to be covering photography for the Reston event on April 6th. I’ll be there bright-eyed at 7am, so if you know me and how much I’m not a morning person, you know this is an extremely important cause! If I can get out of bed that early, you can too. So if you’re in the area and you’re interested in volunteering or walking, you can find additional information here. It’s going to be a lot of fun!

Project 10/List 1 Wrap-Up
Tonight I diligently finished my Project 10/List 1 “10 Objects Found at Home” with Image 9, a needlepoint that my mom made for me when I was little (although I think my sister might try to say it was made for her):
And Image 10, where I admittedly got a little desperate trying to find something interesting around the house:
Chris can’t even figure out what that one is, and he lives here, so I won’t make you try to guess. It’s the five-bulb light fixture on the ceiling in our hallway.Stay tuned for the next Project 10 List. In honor of my spring fever, the subject of my next list is “Green.” And please feel free to make a suggestion for an upcoming list!

48 Favorite Colors
My scrapbooking friends will know what this Project 10/List 1 – Image 8 is, specifically Jenn, who bought these for me:
It’s my set of Zig Twin-Tip Writer pens. There isn’t a color I could possibly want to write with that isn’t in here. I haven’t done much scrapbooking lately, but I do use these pens. Love them! -
Catching Up
Whew! I actually had a really busy weekend and am just now sort of getting caught up on things. The highlights were seeing Oscar-nominated movies all day with Chris on Saturday, taking pictures of Hunter and Ava on Sunday afternoon, and then meeting with Shelby Leigh on Sunday evening to talk about second-shooting at one of her upcoming weddings in April.
The Oscars are sort of old news, and I already posted a little about Hunter and Ava, so I’ll tell you about my meeting with Shelby. I spotted a post from Shelby on a photography forum that we both read, and saw that she was looking for a second-shooter*. We chatted over email and decided to meet up to talk shop. Let me tell you what I instantly liked about her (besides the fact that I love her work): she is super laid-back, and such a jump-right-into-the-water kind of person! She shot her very first wedding totally on her own, and just seemed so relaxed and confident about the whole thing. I’m really excited about working with her in April and I hope a bit of her courage rubs off on me.
A second-shooter accompanies the principle photographer (in this case, to a wedding) and provides additional coverage, different angles and perspectives, and allows the event to be covered in two places at one time.

Hunter and Ava
Just a really quick little peek at Hunter and Ava who I met on Sunday. Hunter had an impressive amount of energy. He was constantly on the move and I’m pretty sure he could’ve kept going for hours!
Dear sweet little Ava, Hunter’s friend, at just 10 weeks old:
Look at those tiny toes! She was so ticklish:
