Teasers - Wei and Bill

Today I got to spend an hour in the most tranquil and gorgeous place I have been in a long time and tomorrow I am so excited to be shooting a wedding there.

I met Wei and Bill a couple months ago and knew I wanted to photograph their wedding. It's hard to believe the day is already here.

This is Wei, ain't she pretty?

Chubby Bunny - SOOC

Have you ever played chubby bunny? We used to play at middl school dances or camp, but Saturday night Julie Weanie P decided we were going to play completely at random. I don't know many people who have marshmallows on stock year round, but i I had to pick one friend who would, Jules would be it.

The winner was Melissa with 9! :-) Big mouth.

Where was I when I shot these?

I want to play a game. I want you to tell me where I was based on these photos. The more specific you can be the better. Don't cheat and look at the comments. I want to know how many photos it takes before you figure it out. Scroll slowly now.

Teasers - Grace and Clayton

Washingtonian weekend continues! After I finished up with Jen and Marc, I went down to meet Grace and Clayton down by the monuments. I had so much fun getting to know them and now am incredibly excited to shoot their wedding in just a few months! They are just as sweet as two people can be and we're just a delight to talk to.

Hope you enjoy!

Teasers - Jen and Marc

What a weekend! Saturday, I had two engagement shoots that went incredibly well! I got to venture down to DC to do these and really did have a lot of fun.

Hope you like, Jen and Marc!

We met to first take photos at the house where they met. The ugliest house on the block. And I am allowed to say that because they said it first. All the other homes were perfect brick all in a row. And then this. Painted white bricks with blue trim. I think they wouldn't have wanted it any other way. :-)

We ventured down to a little pizza place that they used to frequent. The pizza was delicious! So delicious that any girl would say yes if she was proposed to with it.

Okay, maybe that was a stretch. But this is what he really proposed with.

Recyclng the flower for the next shot.

We went to Rock Creek Park for the last set, and even found a way to get right down by the water.

Thanks so much, Jen and Marc! I had a lot of fun! Hope you got that Sangria you kept talking about!

Looking ahead to Fall!

Fall is for 2 things: hiking and camping.

I bought these hiking shoes not long after I was cleared to stop wearing that stupid boot. Remember that boot? The one I could pump up with air and then release? Here is a pic if you can't remember it.



Anyway, I like my hiking shoes a lot better than that thing. See?

Well, I had all these good intentions to go running more often and go hiking because of my limitations in that boot. The farthest I got was buying a pair of hiking shoes and taking Sunny out to one trail less than 3 miles from my house. So, Fall Resolutions: go hiking, run more.

Here are my top three trails I want to go on. Let me know if there are others you would recommend.

1. Appalachian Trail - Crampton Gap
2. Loch Raven Reservoir - Merryman Trail
3. C&O Canal - Great Falls - near the middle of October for the prettiest photos!
