mateo: littlest heroes session.

hello mateo!

i was so excited to meet mateo + his family last weekend for my very first littlest heroes project session! the session was exactly the same as any of my lifestyle sessions – i spent the morning playing with mateo, letting him show me his favorite toys, his star wars bedroom, his awesome swing set, and of course, his amazing spiderman moves! talk about a superhero! although mateo is struggling with developmental disabilities, his shining personality, capacity for laughter + love, and ability to make everyone around him smile are far advanced! he is a very sweet 4 years old who loves to color, loves trucks, has a wild and active imagination, and is very loved by his incredible parents.

enjoy!

chuck taylor + weddings.

new season, new shoes.

wedding-chucks
hello wedding chucks!

in 2008 i rocked my “wedding pumas” at most of my client’s celebrations. fully stocked with 2 or 3 variations on the fanciest pumas to compliment my stylish wedding photog attire, i was so siked at how excited everyone was to see their photographer kickin it in pumas. the idea is that i want to dress as simple + chic as possible at my weddings, and since i can often be found army crawling down a church aisle, grooving on the dance floor or climbing on furniture to get the best shot, my footwear must keep up with me! this year the pumas will still be in effect but i’m also introducing this sweet custom pair of chucks into the rotation. thanks to my newest ’09 bride rita for alerting me to the custom design feature on the converse website – so awesome!

the auto show.

shiny, pretty things.

i wanted to share some of the funky detail shots from the dc auto show last weekend…was on a mission to capture some killer shots for canton car wash – slated to open this spring in baltimore city! it’s going to be an amazing car wash complete with a coffee shop and wi-fi! check them out on facebook and be a fan! three very cool baltimore guys are behind this venture, one of which happens to be my boyfriend!

originally i was envisioning all b+w photos, but the color was absolutely amazing – thanks to my sweet 5D MKII and its unreal ISO expansion of 25,600 for some of these shots! enjoy!
