critical exposure: in the classroom!
i love critical exposure! i had the privilege of attending another class with the amazing jahi wise + emma nolan-abrahamian, to speak to their students about photography! this summer critical exposure is working with the higher achievement program in dc. as an elective, the photography class is the last period of the school day and lasts about one hour. on wednesday i talked with the students about portraits and they tried their hand at using digital SLRs – many for the very first time!
the kids, 5th-8th graders, partnered up and broke into little photog teams – taking turns being photographers and models! i snapped away the entire period, giving pointers and ideas to the students, reminding them to look through the camera (not just at the back like regular point + shoots!) and encouraged them to zoom in, get close, and interact with their subjects. earlier that week they learned about environmental portraits and will be working on that over the course of the class. they are also learning about composition, technique and lighting, and will even be constructing pin-hole cameras next week! so cool.

enjoy!
jahi wise, one of the amazing instructors!

liam + lily wynn: lifestyle family session!
say hello to liam + lily wynn! last week i had the pleasure of meeting these absolutely adorable children for a lifestyle family session with their parents + grandparents – so fun!
they were very excited, especially after liam confirmed with me that he “didn’t have to look at the camera” (too funny!) and i had a great time watching them riding their bikes, blowing bubbles, and playing on their awesome swing set. even better, their parents got in on the action – swinging and even sliding down the slide with the kids! they are such a fun and loving family – there was lots of laughter (due to lots of tickling!), lots of hugs, and so many silly faces. i just love seeing siblings play together – learning their favorite games, and funny things they like to do. i especially love how kids always want to show you things – they are such fabulous little entertainers!
ENJOY!
silly faces!
silly family!

terri + john: married!
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!

evan: lifestyle family session!
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!
