Back in September I had the opportunity to help photograph the baby of my good photographer friend and new mom AnneMarie Hamant. Little JP was a doll and slept through the whole thing. I just love newborns!
The other week I crossed the bay bridge to photograph the fantastic T. family! Little Abigail was just adorable, and you could see how much her parents cherished her. Thank you guys for making my job so much fun!
The other weekend I had the privilege of photographing the love story of Rachel and Nate. They were fantastic to work with and gave me a whole hour and a half to do pictures before the ceremony (a photographers dream)! The ceremony took place at in Damascus/Gaithersburg at the beautiful Wesley Grove United Methodist Church and the reception was held at Dutch's Daughter in Fredrick, MD (the food was fantastic!). The ceremony was just beautiful, and the bride was glowing. My favorite part of the day had to be the first dance though. You could just see the love they both had for each other; it was so sweet! Thank you Rachel and Nate. Marriage is the best, and I know you will both have a wonderful one!
Two weeks ago I had the special privilege of documenting the wedding of Lynn and Jim. I only spent 3 hours with them that day but the love and happiness that I witnessed between them and their family really made a special impression on me. My favorite part of the day was spending time with Lynn while she was getting ready. She was so giddy and excited; I just couldn't help getting excited myself! Thank you both for sharing your day with me. I wish you all the happiness that life has to offer!
This past Saturday I photographed the cutest couple ever! Stephanie and Dave were so much fun to work and made my job so easy! Our intention was to shoot at union station, but we ended up doing a majority of our shoot at a small park nearby. Below are just a few of my favorites from the day...
Confession... I have a horrible short term memory. I can't remember people's names, I cant remember something my husband told me two seconds ago, its not a good thing. A few weeks ago I got fed up, and decided to do something about it. I went to my favorite search engine, Google, and looked up "classical music + helping memory". I read a few articles and realized that there was really no conclusive evidence linking classical music to memory improvement, but I had to try something, so I turned my AOL radio to the classical music station, and it has stayed there for about 2 weeks now.
Well, I'm not quite sure if my memory has improved at all, but I have noticed something different in me. All the sudden I have a more clear head. I am thinking so much more clearly, and am actually more focused and goal oriented. I have been making lists and actually crossing things off of them! Like tonight, I catagloged all my reciepts, recorded all my milage, and paid my taxes, and even managed to do two loads of laundry and finish the dishes! I am not sure if this new found momentum in getting my business and personal life in order is due to me listening to classical music, but I don't plan on switching my radio station any time soon!
A few weeks ago I had the oppertunity to shoot for Corbin from CMH photography. It was pouring down rain that day but thankfully there was a covered porch at the reception site where we could take photos. Flash is a great tool, but there nothing like natural light! These photos were taken with my 100mm macro while holding up the veil with my non camera holdling hand.
