Color and Shapes

"I found I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn't say any other way- things I had no words for" _ Georgia O'Keeffe

It is such a treat when I can combine my love for music and photography!  Both passions allow me to express myself in ways that words cannot.  I was excited when Paul Tucker, a great saxophonist in the Army Band, asked me to take some publicity shots for him.  We started shooting at Ft. Myer just as the sun was coming up, and ended up in Georgetown.  

And now for my favorite shots.  This fountain, with the Kennedy Center in the background, is amazing!  I'm so glad Paul was willing to get under the water!  I think the water droplets look a little like music notes. :)

Green Family {Old Town, Alexandria}

Snugglin', laughin', peek-a-booin'...what a great way to start a Saturday morning!  There is something so sweet about watching a pair of new parents playing with their baby.  Although, Leo won't be a baby much longer!  He is growing up so fast!  My heart just melts every time I look into those big, beautiful, clear blue eyes.

Fell in love with two cowboys

Isn't that every girl's dream?  To grow up and fall in love with a cowboy?  Maybe not...but I certainly remember wanting that as a young girl.   I guess I got my wish because I am very much in love with two boot-wearin', horse-ridin' cowboys.  Someday my sweet boys will be grown and will know better than to let me dress them up and photograph them playing in their imaginative world.  But until then, we are having WAY too much fun.

Wellington Family Reunion {Ft. Hunt Park}

 Don't you just love their name?  Wellington?  I met up with the beautiful Wellington family at Ft. Hunt Park, near George Washington's Mount Vernon estate.  The lighting was SO lovely!  Just a perfect day!  I'm so glad I was able to help update their family photos while everyone was in town.
