laurie + ben are getting married!

last week i had the joy of following these crazy fun lovebirds all over their neighborhood – i never knew bethesda was so cute! and so green! in addition to the colorful streets (and alleyways) we found some sweet greenery – nothing like a little nature in the city  to make this photog happy! we also walked by the church where they are getting married (next month!) – it has the most striking blue doors – love!

with laurie + ben everything is fun and exciting – their energy is so great, i just love them! laurie is exuberant and ben is very chill, and their amazing smiles show just how perfect they are together. i fell in love with them before we even met – i could feel laurie’s energy from her emails – plus how could i not love a spunky kindergarten teacher who is marrying the love of her life? did i mention he happens to be a doctor at children’s hospital? they are the best!

 so wet met for coffee, hit it off fabulously and the rest is history. laurie claims that the best day of her life was booking me as their photographer, second only to the day ben asked her to marry him! seriously, could i be any luckier with these two? amazing! i’ve said it before, and i’ll say it again – i have the. best. clients. ever.

enjoy!

troy: littlest heroes project session!

a little hero + his family!

BLONDEPHOTO-TK-5320

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!

terri + john: married!

so happy together.

BLONDEPHOTO-TJ-002-5743

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!

BLONDEPHOTO-EVAN-033-5094

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!!
