Matti + RJ

About two weeks ago, I went to hang out with Massachusetts photographer, Rebekah Kay during the reception of her friends Matti and RJ at the Torpedo Factory in Alexandria, VA. The party was fabulous, and guests from eight years old to eighty didn't leave the dance floor all night!! And much of this was due to the great job D.J. Craig Nalley of Nalley Enterprises, Inc. (301.460.3605) did in keeping the music going strong.

Portraits - Outside of the box

I was recently chided by a friend (and admitted blog-stalker) that I haven't updated my blog in a while. So, just for you Becca, here are some portraits that I took in July during an event that I organized with fellow photographers Jason Domingues and Mark Eric. The event took place in Atlantic City, NJ with 11 brides (a few grooms) and 50 photographers seeking to think outside the box and create art that didn't worry about getting the wedding dress a little bit dirty. Although this type of photography is frequently referred to as 'Trash-the-Dress', it's not really about destroying the gown as much as creating truly memorable images without the hesitation of harming the dress that usually accompanies the wedding day. In the case of our 11 brides, each of the dresses cleaned right up with a bit of help from their local dry cleaners. Enjoy!

Maria + Patrick: Engaged!

In an effort to remedy my blogging backlog, here are a few images from a family/engagement session in preparation for Maria and Patrick's wedding in August. Maria's family was in town visiting from Venezuela, and made me feel welcome from the moment I met them. I look forward to seeing them again this summer!

Gift Certificates

I recently received a request for a portrait certificate for the holidays and I was more than happy to help create a custom gift! Please feel free to let me know if you are interested in creating your own personalized photo gift package!

Courtney

I am VERY behind on blogging, but I will try to add a few updates soon! Until then, meet Courtney. I joined her on Saturday for a little fun in the field by her house, then on the streets of Charles Town. She was absolutely adorable and I am sure her soon-to-be-born brother or sister will be too.
