i immediately fell in love with this old painted wall near fells point in baltimore…i finally got the chance to photograph it the other day – yay! i seriously have to check myself or i’d be perfectly content to photograph rugged buildings, funky walls and alley ways all day long.

i recently participated (along with some 300+ photographers!) in a thanksgiving inspired photo contest to express that which i was most thankful for this year.
this was a difficult challenge, especially when i feel so lucky and so thankful for so many things in my life.
foremost i am thankful for all the opportunities that i have been given to grow my career as a photographer because of all my clients and fellow photographers who believed in my talent. every day i feel so lucky for each opportunity to meet incredible people and document their lives and the moments most important to them.
i am also thankful for the amazing, supportive, encouraging people in my life – my family and friends truly enhance my life in way i can’t even begin to describe.
but for this contest i immediately thought of a photo i snapped last week in pacific beach, while out in san diego…
for while i am incredibly thankful for all that i am able to do, i am eternally grateful for the inspiring actions of the people who are working to change the world for the better – the citizens of the world who devote their lives to others and who sacrifice their individual comfort for the comfort of many.
and so, i am most thankful for all the people working for PEACE in the world.
see all the thankful images from the contest here. and check out the creative submission by my favorite photog and great friend MK, one of the many people i am very thankful to have in my life!

ever since i posted about sam + ginger’s doggie photoshoot everyone has been asking if i have any dogs or pets – and the answer is yes!
meet cricket [the notorious 21-year-old cat that i’ve had since i was a little girl] and her “brother” sammy, who belongs to my mom. cricket has had a lot of dogs in her life – poodles, golden retrievers, mutts – but we only ever had one cat! yay for cricket!

it’s just starting to get chilly – really chilly – here in dc, and that means the leaves all around the city seem to be exploding in the vivid shades of fall. it’s easy to take it for granted, but the colors are simply spectacular…and i looove color!
these images are for my dad, who loves this time of year and keeps asking me about the weather and the trees…i know he will enjoy this as he continues to soak up the sunny florida weather and i start to fear a frosty winter!

hundreds of fabulously dressed washingtonians came out last night for a stellar event – the capital city ball at the washington club in dupont circle. a welcome from host john dunford kicked the evening off, along with a fantastic tango show by the talented dancers from siete tango…i had a fantastic time snapping photos of the table games – the roulette + blackjack dealers were awesome! – the packed dancefloor (everyone adored the incredible 11-piece band BITTERSWEET) and admiring the stunning evening gowns and tuxes.
proceeds from the event and silent auction benefit women to the world – a nonprofit dedicated to connecting “women of resource with women in need.”
enjoy!
