My Girl is growing up too fast!

Thank you Garrison for the Early Birthday present! We love the sprinkler!

This is Grace when she gets all dressed up....this particular day she said "Mom, I'm going to marry Garrison and this is what I am going to wear" Watch out G Money! Since I am a wedding photographer Grace is facinated with getting married, she never waivers as to who she is going to marry either...sweet girl, she LOVES her Garrison!

Ok so a BIG GIRL BIKE.....way to grown up for me...she loves it...Thanks to the Cloughs for this fun bike!!!

David and Donna April 28, 2007

David and Donna were one of the sweetest couple I have ever worked with. They were so laid back and so in love and really focused on their guests enjoying themselves. What a beautiful, classy celebration. You may be asking why would I post a picture of a Cure it band as a wedding photo? As Wedding Favors, David and Donna gave cure it bands and a donation to the American Cancer Society in loving memory of her mom who had passed away from cancer just 2 months prior to their wedding. What a sweet blessing.

John C. Astle, Senate of Maryland

While out on our engagement shoot this evening, we met John C. Astle who is on the State Senate in Maryland. He was outside enjoying the fresh air on his front porch. He and his wife were very sweet and even allowed us in his back yard for some garden pictures! What a nice guy! I had to snap this one of he and his wife!

Scott and Marisa Engagements

Just had to post a few quick shots of Scott and Marisa's Engagement shoot this evening, I am working on getting these done ASAP since their wedding is on MAY 19th, 2007. Yes, 17 days away! We had fun and they are such an easy couple to photograph. Looking forward to your wedding day in 2 weeks :)

Drew and Jessi (and Kayla too)

Drew and Jessi were married at Chesapeake Bay Beach Club and it was a beautiful day for them. The forecast called for rain all day but it held off and ended up being a beautiful spring evening! Jessi looked stunning. Drew and Jessi are our friends (and neighbors) and it was so fun for me to be a part of their big day. Drew gave Kayla (she is 4) a sweet necklace to include her in the ceremony. I told him it was not a good idea to make the photographer cry when she is trying to take pictures! It was so sweet. Congratulations guys!

Heres a mini slideshow of their day!

David and Erika

David and Erika had a beautiful Wedding on Saturday at Strong Mansion in Dickerson, MD. The weather was beautiful and so was the bride. These 2 were so well organized and calm cool and collected, they were really able to enjoy their big day. Thank you for letting me be a part of it. As per the usual, here is your mini slideshow of highlights from your big day.

Puddles

What fun we had jumping in the puddles with our friend Kirstin today. This was a milestone for Grace, she HATES when any part of clothes get wet and feels the need to change her clothes ANYTIME she spills even the littlest bit of anything on her. Can you tell she got over it?

Maddie

How can I resist a Maddie Shot?

Easter 2007

We had an Easter Egg hunt in our neighborhood. Grace had a blast!

Sam and Heathers Engagements

Sorry for the long post of pictures. I am having trouble with my slide-show feature and wanted to post these for Sam and Heather! I had a blast today in the 70 degree weather! These two are so in love, I didn't have to ask them to do anything, they were naturals! They said they like to play cards, read to each other and dance so we tried to incorporate those things into our shoot!

Joseph on the beach

This was Joseph's first experience with Sand.
We took these down at Ocean City this weekend on our Woman's Retreat.
