a little hero + his family!

last weekend i had the opportunity to document another session for the littlest heroes project! i’m honored to be a part of this amazing organization and was so excited to meet troy + his family! i spent the morning at their home watching troy + his big sister mya playing all their favorite games – mr potatoe head, bubbles, swinging, reading books, and more!
troy is a happy, loving little 2 year old boy who was recently diagnosed with autism. his family is working to learn everything they can about this terrible disease and are making sure that troy gets all the attention he needs to grow, learn and thrive. he is very lucky to have such amazing parents who love him so much, and a big sister who loves helping take care of him :)
my favorite photo is the one of troy laughing with his dad – his parents know exactly what makes him the happiest and his smile is so gorgeous. i’m very thankful to have met this amazing little boy and his inspiring family – enjoy!






bubbles!

happy family!

so happy together.

terri + john were married a few weeks ago on a gorgeous may afternoon at the famed st. anne’s episcopal church in annapolis, md. the religious ceremony was inspiring – the church has great historical significance, amazing details and massive, intricate stained glass windows throughout, providing a stunning backdrop for a gorgeous wedding! the ceremony was followed by an afternoon reception at the sheraton featuring delicious food, great dancing, a spirited cake cutting, and a beautiful toast by the best man in which he declared that terri + john deserve all the happiness in the world. it’s obvious that they have found that happiness + love with each other, and you can’t help but be so excited for them!
it was a wonderfully emotional afternoon – terri + john were so thrilled to celebrate their marriage with their families + friends, it was amazing! i was honored to witness their union and document their day and i wish them the best in their life together! enjoy!

get ready hons…HONFEST is this weekend!

blonde photo + the entire crew at the blonde creative is gearing up for honfest 2009 this weekend – i’ll be shooting non-stop hon action all weekend and the blonde creative will have a tent (same spot as last year, right in the center of it all!) complete with a fabulous photo booth, lots of giveaways + goodies, and so many fun people! we hope to see you all there!

why hello evan!
i hesitate to refer to evan as “baby evan” since the last time i saw him he was just 8 weeks old! how time flies! he’s now just over a year old and he already seems like a little man to me! evan is just starting to walk and he is full of personality – i had so much fun seeing him again! evan was actually my very first newborn lifestyle session baby – i had no clue what to do with such a tiny baby but his parents were (and are!) so wonderful, it was the best experience! when rachel (his mom!) let me know they had moved into a new house and wanted to do another session i was thrilled! it was awesome to see the whole family (including the wild doggies!) in their new digs and make some really fun photographs!
enjoy!!

i think this photo is so sweet – he looks like a cute little 50s baby to me!





i love this family!




going for the camera!

everlasting love.

meet leigh + scott. this amazing couple is bound together by love, creativity, and laughter. a few weeks ago i had the opportunity to meet up with them in downtown philadelphia to celebrate their 8th wedding anniversary (woohoo!) with a fun, impromtu photo session!
the entire shoot was so wonderfully serendipitous – leigh is the genius behind LL2B – the fabulous + renowned maker of all sorts of goodies, most notably these custom lip balms! she contacted me a few days prior to the session to inquire about a shoot and see if i’d be in the philly are anytime soon. i was already planning on heading up on the 19th for two engagement sessions and was excited to squeeze her in – especially when i found out that the 19th was their actual anniversary date! so perfect!
in addition to LL2B, leigh + scott have a sweet studio + exhibition space in the city – basekamp – that showcases large scale collaborative projects by contemporary artists. we met at the studio and then walked around town, weaving in and out of parks, courtyards, and the oldest cemetery i’ve ever seen. we made our way back to basekamp and did a few shots on the roof and inside of the studio. i got to learn about their newest project and was absolutely fascinated by the projects they work on! if i ever hesitate to refer to myself as an “artist” it is because of tremendously talented and creative people like leigh + scott. to me, they are the coolest kind of artists – using visual and philosophical methods to explore dynamic sociological issues and truly living a life entrenched and influenced by art, creativity and knowledge. i really enjoyed spending the morning with these two and can’t wait to visit them again soon.
enjoy!
