I’m editing away, behind on everything (blogging at the top of the list) but just wanted to share this shot.  HA! (and i’ll blog furreals soon).

At the 2011 Gala, this lovely family won my donation in the auction via a very generous donation.  It was my honor to work with these guys for a second time — they are such a joyous and talented and  honorable family.   Thank you 4 (ok, 6 and a half this year ) for a lovely evening and i hope you love your images!

I have a crazy week ahead… 2 newborns to shoot this week, 2 families this weekend, and a pile of editing and ordering.  And i think my kids may want dinner once or twice too!

I’ve had to opportunity to work with Miss A since she was born, and each and every time — she is *pure* joy.   She turned 3 on Sunday — Happy Birthday Sweet A!!   And to her equally as lovely parents –  I hope you all are having the time of your lives on your trip.  There is magic in these moments…

Here is a sneak from our session!  Gah… i love these images.

And you should be proud of me.  2 blogs in 2 days!  Whoop!  And more are coming.  Yup, they ARE!

I have been HERE!!! Just flying under the blog radar. Bad, i know. And i’m sorry! I’ve had a lot going on, some fabulous some not so fabulous… but i’ve been working as usual and going to try to put blogging a little higher on the “to do” list, lol…. But here is a peek on a few of the projects i’ve worked on in the last many months!

and i’ll try to be back soon. i’ve had some CRAZY fabulous sessions the past few days, and i’m shooting again tonite and again tomorrow (yay for FINALLY good weather so we can squeeze some weather postponed sessions in)!

Next, if you have any pull, could you PLEASE do something about this whacky unpredictable sopping wet weather.  Its wreaking HAVOC on my sessions.  THANKYOUVERYMUCH!

And finally, you guys know I am a sucker for portraits.  Pretty simple, i just love them.   I had the opportunity to work with a REALLY lovely family a couple of weeks ago… and the portraits we made together really make me smile.    Beautiful & real kiddos make for some pretty fabulous subjects.   They were so fun to work with, and reminded me so much of a time long ago with my big brother.  He and I used to periodically torture each other but with love in our hearts.  Well, i *think* he loved me back then… HA!  Anyway, thanks so much to the H family for the evening we spent together – you guys were a joy!

I’ll try to be back soon…. been busy (which translates to blog absent!).  Hope you all are doing great!

First — a sweet one year old whom I’ve had the privilege of working with before!  She was *such* a doll as a newborn, and… well, equally as wonderful as a one year old! Miss O was so patient and content and i got SPOILED!  Oh, her sweet cheeks and… those eyes…

*******************************************************

And it was SUCH a joy meeting the S Family – and their little man was such as little character!  The weather was not working for us when we started shooting in the morning (hello never lifting fog) so we split the session up between the morning and afternoon — and it made for such a sweet session.  I was able to capture lots of sweet moments with this family — and if you know me — i am ALL about the moments… cause thats what its alllllllll about…

I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!    I have the privilege of shooting the Virginia Tech Relay for Life tonite and then I’m off to Nashville with my girls for a visit with my brother and his family!  I think this might be my 45.9th weekend straight traveling.  Maybe.

Introducing Miss A….

and this next image.  ::sigh::  i just love her fragility in her daddy’s sweet arms….

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!  I’m off to Washington DC.  Can someone please call the weather man and make sure it’s going to be beautiful?  THANKS!

I have known and worked with this family for many years with their beautiful daughter (Hi Miss B!!), and had the privilege to photograph their brand new edition a couple of weeks ago.   Baby G was about 6 weeks old when i met him, and he was just as sweet and wonderful to me as his sister was when i met her at 6 weeks old!  Thanks to their parents for making the trek from Richmond to work with me, and thanks to Nana for allowing me to infringe on Sunday lunch!  And here is a peek at their sweet family…

And i LOVE this pic of daddy and big sis….

Have a great Sunday!  And please please make it be April… i cannot take anymore snow and March weather flopping between flip flops and snow boots….

And Miss L will be turning 2 this week.  Happy Birthday to her!!!!!! I hope you guys have a WONDERFUL birthday celebration!

And this next shot is for Miss L’s mom… its a picture with L and her Aunt T… and if you know or remember this sweet family, you’ll realize that Mom and Auntie look just a *wee* bit like each other!

Hope you had a great Thanksgiving!

And, one of the things i love most about them, is that they appreciate the little things.  the silly imperfectly perfect giggles and the play.  and so do i.   Thanks guys…… I adore you 4.  And maybe some day, we can all go to Oceania together ::grin::.

i’m not going to say anything here because i tend to not tell the truth when i’m signing off, apparently, lol…
