Meet Baby Madeline {5 weeks old}

Nick and Adrienne are great friends of ours from Penn State.  I am so glad I was able to meet up with them again and meet their darling girl, Madeline.  She is beautiful, just like her mamma.  Congratulations!!

Dear Mamma: I Love You

When I first met Katie, I couldn't BELIEVE she had just had a baby a few days earlier.  She looks so fabulous!  And her little guy is an absolute angel!  He slept and slept...and slept some more.  I don't think I heard a peep out of him the whole time.  Thank you, Katie, for sharing your little ones with me.  They are so beautiful.

To Katie and all the wonderful mammas out there, "Happy Mother's Day!"

What a beautiful day!  Sunlight streaming through trees, bright blue sky...it was lovely.  And listening to Marlisa play her violin made the session even more lovely!  She is an amazing violinist whom I have the privilege of knowing and working with.  Thanks for letting me spend the afternoon with you, listening to you play!

"I don't think I am going to be able to stop smiling" Catherine beamed as soon as we started her bridal session.  You and me both, Catherine!  Even now I can't stop smiling as I remember our incredibly fun day walking around DC in your gorgeous gown!  

One of my favorite things about living in DC are the cherry blossoms that burst out every Spring.  What's even more beautiful to me than the blossoms on the trees, is the carpet of pink they create when the petals fall to the ground.  "Magical" is the word that comes to mind when I think about our session in the pink, falling snow.  Enjoy your wedding in Savannah, Catherine and Gene!  Congratulations!!

NoBunny is as cute as you.

Amelia started the cello a year and a half ago with my husband, Justin.  It is amazing to see how far she has come in just a short time and I know she has incredible experiences in her future!  She is a beautiful person- both inside and out.  Actually, GORGEOUS is a better adjective!  When we found out her family is moving {sigh}, her mom and I talked about getting photos of her cello to help decorate her new room.  I'm so glad she was willing because she was SO much fun to photograph!  Thanks a ton to Song for suggesting Fort Washington as our location!  What a cool place!!  To see Song's awesome photos from this shoot, click here.  

Thank you, Amelia, for the beautiful music you brought to our home, week after week.  We will miss you and your wonderful family!!
