Beautiful Morning for a Nature Hike in Chevy Chase, MD

This morning I met up with the B family.  At first big brother J was very leery of me and the whole situation (which is not uncommon of course! :))  But once the boys started leading the way for our nature hike he became my little helper picking out great locations and helping to get his little sister to smile.  It was a beautiful morning and I had so much fun with this family.  We saw a lot of deer, beautiful fallen leaves, a pond, bridges and more.  I hope you enjoy your sneak, B family, and many thanks to my photographer friend Danie Smallwood for the kind referral!

OUR Holiday Card: Mission Complete

I am breathing a big sigh of relief.  I've been so busy designing holiday cards for clients that it just dawned on me last week that I REALLY need to get cracking on ours.  So yesterday I scoped out the perfect spot in Bethesda, MD and today I got the kids' outfits, changed them in the department store bathroom (LOL!) and then we drove to the location for our mini-session!  I think I got a lot of great pics to choose from and am presenting the design here on my blog first.  I can't wait to see the finished product in print because the professional lab I order from is amazing.  Thanks to everyone who commented on my fb fan page and helped me to pick the cover image!  I am of course biased so I really needed the help!  :D

Fall is for Families!

Yesterday afternoon I got to meet up with a fun family on their gorgeous property in Darnestown, MD for some outdoor holiday photos.   The weather was perfect, the leaves were amazing and I think we definitely captured the last bit of fall before winter starts to set in.  I captured some great moments of this gorgeous family and had a wonderful time doing it!
