Alexa & Curtis! MARRIED!!

My Animoto Video

It's almost time...

I had the pleasure of photographing one of my dearest friends...Tanya! She and her husband Stephen are expecting Baby Stella as their very own April Fool's Day present. After I got the essential shots we decided to have a little more fun and baby Stella took her first leap...(I think Mom was hoping labor was just a few minutes away...however, that wasn't the case). Can't wait to see you Baby Stella! See you soon!

TEEN CAMP! June 25-29, 2012

TEEN CAMP! June 25-29th

Calling all Middle Schoolers!
As many of you know I used to teach middle school Langauage Arts. I truly love this age group! This summer I'm offering a one week camp for middle schoolers (rising 6th graders through rising freshmen). Each day campers will meet in Leesburg at our "training camp" to go over basics of photography. Students will be given daily assignments and will be shooting throughout the town of Leesburg. This is going to be fun for all! Camp days go from 9-1pm each day. Campers can bring a packed lunch or buy something at one of the local restaurants. On Friday evening our class will have a "show" from their week's assignments. Camp costs $200 (all materials are covered).

SPRING PHOTOBLITZ-APRIL 14-15

It's that time of the year!!! Looking forward to spending time with my favorite clients both new and not so new! :-) This year I'll be at Morven Park in Leesburg. I've already done a few shoots there and it's perfect! A beautiful mansion, (home to two governors) great boxwoods, a carriage house, and acres of fields with beautiful trees! I'm shooting both Saturday and Sunday. Please specify which day you would like. See you soon!

THANKS TOM!

OK...so I don't normally post stuff about our crazy life outside of photography but today I felt compelled. I think everyone has a story to tell about a critter. This little guy "Woody"--because it originally sounded like a woodpecker banging on the wall outside of Georgia's room--was found this morning in his little cage. Ed meticulously baited it last night and the little guy got the food out without setting off the trap. Ed re-baited it before leaving for work and BINGO! We got him...or should I say HER... The sad thing is she is probably pregnant and she was finding a nice warm place to have babies...IN OUR WALL!!! SO...right after little Woody was trapped I realize that I am terrified of squirrels and I had no idea how I was going to get rid of her. My first thought was to call my Dad who usually comes to the rescue. His response was to call the animal people... no go (for future reference, they don't pick up animals that are a nuisance to you or your home). Second thought...call TOM... poor Tom, he always gets the husband calls. One day he kindly helped me stretch my slipcovers on my couch because I needed someone strong and someone who by chance might be in the Hamilton area. Anyway, Tom came, rescued Woody and then I had to give him the bad news... She had to be released 5-10 miles away from our house. OK, so he wasn't too happy about this, but bless his heart, calls me 12.6 miles away and tells me he is about to release Woody.

After Tom drops off the empty cage he tells me the bad news: "No lie, she was headed west..." OMG!!!
