A Month of Giving

Happy Easter! This is our last official day collecting for the Dando Amor National Shoe Drive. A semi truck will be coming sometime before April 10th to collect all of the shoes that so many people have generously donated. Tomorrow Ryan and I will be counting, sorting and re-bagging everything you see pictured above, plus...

Hush

It was a whirlwind of a day here at Atelier this morning. Some lovely, creative women met for our second week of a 14-week course designed to go through The Artist’s Way together. Once our meeting was over, Ryan and I scurried around to clean up and prepare for the day’s portrait session. During this...

As Time Goes By

One of my favorite television shows of all time is As Time Goes By. It’s a BBC sitcom from the ’90s, starring Judi Dench & Geoffrey Palmer (this intro clip may freshen your memory: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B31RqSWmx3Y ).

Home for the Holidays

This beautiful family moved into their Bexley home one week ago and, already, the love and energy in this place felt infectious. A two year wedding anniversary, baby’s first birthday and big transitions from urban D.C. living are all recent events; there’s growth all around!

A Point in Time

I photographed this family with the goal of creating an image for their annual Christmas cards. While we got that card-worthy image of a happy family, both posed and composed, my heart is drawn to the images that uncover so much more. With a new 11 week old puppy, an older dog and six year...

Howdy Partner

These siblings moved into a new home just two weeks ago: you could feel the newness and excitement in the air as we explored the backyard and the kids ran & played together through the house (although in a way it seemed like L. had lived there for years…he would casually place his hands in...

Little Boys

What are little boys made of? Snips and snails, and puppy dogs tails That’s what little boys are made of ! These brothers remind me of that old poem. They have some of the sweetest hearts I know and are truly, all boys. Big Brother loved exploring in the woods collecting sticks (he even gathered...
