kristin’s (super fun!) family.

a fun family photoshoot!

i had so much fun photographing kristin’s family last weekend in annapolis. this was my second time photographing for kristin – if you recall, i raved about her when i photographed jules + alexander last month- so cute!! :)

kristin was so thrilled with the photos that she had me back to photograph her whole family, and this time i got to meet her awesome husband joe as well as her parents and brothers – everybody was great! we did a few group shots and then just played around in the backyard…i am in awe of how much fun this family has when they are together – it’s so easy to see how much they love each other! kristin and joe adore their kids and the two of them totally acted like newlyweds, even though they just celebrated their 7th wedding anniversary! congrats to them!

enjoy!

marketing: part I.

my first marketing attempt for this fabulous little company: BLONDE PHOTO.

a preview of the front of the post cards i’ll be distributing this weekend at HONFEST…

BLONDE PHOTO has a 10×10 tent right in the middle of all the action – i’m *so* excited! and overwhelmed! and EXCITED!

as the official photog of the HONFEST, i’ll be taking photos of the crowd, the activities and the contests, but also be at my tent where we are setting up a HON-tastic photo booth where you can get your photo taken in hon apparel…think feather boas, leopard prints, and fancy glasses…YAY!

alert e-mail debacle!

hello everyone!

unfortunately i just realized my e-mail was on the fritz today – this has never happened before (to my knowledge) and i am (obviously!) very distressed…if you emailed me today PLEASE resend your messages – it seems to be functioning properly now!

also, just a note: i always respond to all e-mails within 24 hours, if not sooner. if you ever do not hear back from me within 24 hours, please feel free to contact me again either via e-mail or by phone! i am just (just?) beginning to realize how heavily i rely on technology to conduct business!

yay for technology, boo for outages!

katie + chris: married!

simply delightful.

i LOVE this first photograph. it so perfectly expresses exactly how katie + chris were on their wedding day. chris sits cool and collected, smiling adoringly at his bride, while katie is bursting with laughter and excitement. i really enjoyed this wedding, and i loved spending time with katie + chris. they are such amazing people: talented, accomplished, driven and doing great things with their lives. katie is a world traveler, a documentary photographer and has a fantastic sense of humor. i couldn’t love her more! not to mention she has amazing taste: her details were stunning! she wore the cutest peach shoes (which matched the jr. bridesmaids blue ones) had gorgeous flowers, and the most unbelievable dress i have ever seen. i LOVED this dress. it was breathtaking. someone said she looked just like a delicate dandelion. everyone agreed she was a total rockstar. her dress made me want to get married, just so i could wear something so fabulous.

the reception was a total blast: tons of wild dancing, a fun twist on the cake cutting (chocolate cake “shots”) and everyone having a great time on a gorgeous may evening in st. michael’s, maryland.

enjoy!

carrie + jay: engagement photos.

the city is our playground.

have i mentioned lately how much i *love* my neighborhood? or just dc in general? the more i shoot on these streets the more i appreciate all the funky spots for awesome photos there are in this city!

i had a ridiculously good time with carrie + jay last week…and not just because the shoot included a mini-bar crawl through adams’ morgan ;) these two are a riot! i cannot wait for their wedding later this year! carrie is sassy as anything (my FAVE quality in a person) and jay is simply great. i had just as much fun chatting with them as i did snapping their pics and they were so natural and relaxed in front of the camera – loved it! we strolled around adams’ morgan and logan on a beautiful wednesday afternoon and found the best spots for some really fun photos!

guess who’s getting married on november 22?

rock you like a hurricane.

the boardwalk: ocean city, md.

a SNEAK PEEK from annie + marty’s AMAZING wedding yesterday…many more to come, but i just had to share these incredible images from the very end of the night…

after surviving the INSANE STORM that threatened to, but did not, interfere with their beautiful beach ceremony (yet struck immediately afterward) and all the chaos that goes along with a feisty mother nature (gale force winds + torrential downpour = soaking wet bridal party and photog) i am still BEYOND thrilled to have been part of this phenomenal day.

i may have emerged 3 umbrellas, 1 camera + 1 lens lighter (casualties of the weather) but i have these (and so many more!) amazing shots that make it all worth it…a million times over.

annie + marty: what can i say? you guys ROCK!! stay tuned for the real blog…coming soon!
