Another 3AM Production

The L Family 2009!

I spent the morning with L family of Chevy Chase MD.  They are an active bunch and we wanted to capture them just being them!!

Family Portrait and Lifestyle Session!

Family Session brings us back to basics

What a great session this was.  Each image is full of love and joy.. just like this family.  Here is a preview of one such image that brought me to tears...

Ashton and Bethany - Coming Soon!

Stay tuned for more images from Ashton and Bethany's wedding!

Family Fun with the C family of Virginia!

I spent part of the afternoon of July 7th with this fun, loving and talented family including one chinchilla, one cat and one dog! THey had their own great ideas and we naturals in front of the camera. These are some of my favorites.

Matt and Kim - Get Married!!!

Matt and Kim wed on a gorgeous Saturday afternoon in Alexandria, Virginia on June 13, 2009.  Thanks to Corbin Harris  of CMH Photo for being the second photographer on this one.

This is a long slide show and it may take time to load...  Enjoy!

Reception Highlights

Long time no post! I have been very busy with studio work plus end-of-the-year stuff for my kids so I have not been posting as much as usual. I did put together this little slide show with reception highlights from a wedding that I did a few weeks ago. The largest percentage of images from the day are from the reception because that is the longest portion of the wedding day (usually). Often I will end up with several images per minute at the reception..and as you can see that can add up!! I often feel bad for the couples who then have to choose about 50 - 60 images from the entire day to go into their wedding album. So, I tried to narrow down the reception images to my very favorites and I was able to get it down to 30! Here they are!

Out of Town - Studio closed until May 25th.

I am attending the Literacy Through Photography Institute at the Center for Documentary Studies at Duke University from May 18th - 22nd.  I will be checking email and voice mail once per day.  I will return phone calls next week.

Thank you!

"turf dc" - Promo Shoot

"Turf dc are an exciting new collaboration between two Northern Ireland musicians and three classically trained local musicians playing in a variety of roots based styles. The result is an innovative but strangely familiar sound, which could perhaps be best described as “Celtic Blues”.Incorporating a wide variety of instruments (guitar, slide guitar, banjo, violin, harmonica, bass, drums, djembe, stand up bass), there is an irresistible energy and simplicity to Turf dc’s music. Most impressive is the songwriting, simple timeless songs that could have been written at any point of the last century, but which manage to sound fresh and relevant despite traveling well-trodden paths. It leaves little doubt that they have tapped into a rich musical vein."

You can find them at Irelands Four Fields (formerly 4P's) this Thursday night and also at their MySpace page  where you can sample some of their music.  I used one of their original songs in the slide show.

and baby (will) make 5 !

The M family was the high bidder of a family session and complimentary 8x10 at the Spring Knolls Cooperative Early Learning Center. My son Harry went to this pre-school and we loved it. I was thrilled to be a part of their auction again this year and to have the chance to meet this beautiful family. Stay tuned because their newborn session is right around the corner!
