There’s nothing more magical than sharing a vacation to Disney World with little kids. I love that my girls are still young enough to want to dress up in fancy princess gowns in 90 degree weather, meet the “real” princesses, and dine in magical castles.


Evidence that I went one vacation, too….a rare photograph of photographer. Here I am with my two little “Jessies”. Their dresses were custom made by the wonderful Angela of Boutique Ollie Girl.


And I will leave you with our view of the castle from the top of the Contemporary Hotel. It totally made it worth it to carry along my 70-200 mm lens.

The new album from Spanish-language Christian artist Andy Colon, which features my images, is now available to the public! You can find it on iTunes, or hear some previews through his website. I think the album look amazing, and I am so excited that I could be part of the project.

This little 6-week-old was not in the mood for sleepy newborn portraits during his session. Try as we did to get him to take a little shuteye, he just wanted to show us those baby blues.

These siblings stopped in for a session while visiting their grandparents here in the DC area. We got an early start to our session, and I was surprised at how many cyclists and runners we had to dodge at the park even early in the morning. I guess they all wanted to beat the heat, too!

I am always delighted to photograph repeat customers. I worked with these guys last summer, and remembered how much they liked climbing tress, so I wanted to be sure to find a new location with some more trees for them this time. This year they went for a more casual look and they were much more comfortable with the camera.
