Wow I can honestly say this year moved faster then any other year in my life. I have really spent a lot of time thinking about how quickly it did move and what is really important in my life. We shot over 30 weddings, too many engagement sessions to count and a lot of boudoirs sessions. Many albums and print orders went through the studio. We also managed some how to open our new studio in Old Town Alexandria. Not to forget that an end of year party that I have yet to blog the images from. Needless to say the least we have been extremely busy. We are all looking forward to 2010, I am excited about all the new ideas we have in the woodwork. I am also proud of myself for learning to give up things that just couldn’t be done by one person. Lately I have been feeling a lot more like a human being vs the girl that lives behind her MAC. I am sure my family, friends and health appreciate me for finally coming to terms with my ability not to do it all. Just wanted to drop a quick line before we head out to enjoy New Years as a family. It’s been a great year and I am so looking forward to all the great things of 2010! I wish everyone the best for 2010.

Christmas Boudoir Gifts
We had several clients come in for presents for the significant others right before the holidays. Looking forward to the sessions already on the books for Valentine’s Day gifts. I can’t think of better gifts. We now offer calendars and promise to share some images of them next time I stop in the studio.








Sarah and Jillian : DC engagement Session
These two are such troopers with such perfect personalities! I loved hanging out in DC with Sarah and Jillian the other day for their DC engagement session. I know we were so cold and Sarah shared her gloves with me and begged Jillian to take off his jacket for some pictures. Overall it was still perfect and I am really looking forward to spending the day with them again next year.



Ann + Chris : Old Hickory Wedding
We were so pleased to be a part of the intimate wedding of Ann and Chris on 11/7 at Old Hickory. It was such a beautiful ceremony. The priset was a family member and it was so cute to find him napping before the ceremony. That just shows you how laid back everything was. Oh and the beautiful fall backdrop at this venue was amazing and they topped it off with a traditional Lion’s dance. Love it! Congrats you two!

Rebecca + Shawn : Mt. Vernon Engagement Session
Rebecca and Shawn had their engagement session at Mt. Vernon the other day. It was pretty memorable for Chris and myself not only was it a gorgeous day but we were chased off the grounds by security! Always adds to the delight of getting to know our couples. I can’t wait to see them again in March!




Northern VA boudoir sessions
We have been pretty busy knocking out some boudoir sessions. Finally getting around to sharing a few. Also we had added a great calendar to pricing. What a great addition this will be for Christmas and Valentine’s Day. Check out our site for current prices.





M’s family session
Check out this cutie that stopped by the studio. Even Grandma came to the session. Super cute!




Megan + Brian : Stonewall Golf Club wedding
Megan and Brian were married on 10/31 at Holy Trinity Catholic Church and their reception followed at Stonewall Golf Club. We even had a pit stop at Heritage Hunt for some formals. If you recall it was just a little nippy and the rain was off and on all day but the weather ended up being on our side and these two were able to enjoy the beautiful fall colors. Below are the highlights, Megan has shared that she enjoys the blog and I know she is waiting for these!
