7:00 on Sunday | Northern Virginia, High School Senior Portraits
Sunday, September 19th
Old Town, Alexandria
Perfect evening with four high school seniors (you’ll notice that John, the lone guy on our adventure, is conveniently missing), walking around gorgeous Old Town and capturing images of them all during a very special year in their lives. Homecoming, college applications, and school projects were all the topic of conversation…a trip down memory lane for me, sans the frequent cell phone calls and texting during the session. 
We snapped this image just before the clock touched 7:00 p.m. on the Old Town Alexandria Pier. I told them about my “7:00 on Sunday” blog obligation when we began our photo walk; I think you can agree that when 7:00 rolled around, they delivered!
I Heart Faces Challenge #38 : Smirk
This week’s I Heart Faces theme is “Smirk”, and I think this image of my daughter is very fitting, don’t you think? I’m really trying to read her mind here, trying to imagine what’s going on in that precious head of hers. I’m imagining, ”Seriously Mom?! The camera again!?”. Or perhaps she’s scheming here…plotting her next adventure with her little brother, a new hiding place in the house, or just a new and amusing way to exhaust Mom.
Whatever it may be, she’s ridiculously adorable.
And baby makes five… | Frederick, Maryland Family Photographer
Sweet goodness, I love photographing families…especially when they are friends of mine! The Estridge family are not only my friends, but wonderfully, my neighbors, too. Heather nominated the Legge family for last year’s Giving is Awesome Campaign, winning the Legge family and her family a portrait session with me. We walked around Baker Park for these images on a gorgeous evening…so exciting to already see the leaves starting to turn with the season! I love fall!
The Estridges are expecting a new addition to their family this November, and I’m already so excited to introduce myself and my camera to baby girl Estridge! Lots of love to the four of you during this exciting time in your family’s life!

AND THE WINNER IS… | Winner of the Holiday Mini-Session Give-Away
When you tell two toddlers to “dress-up because we’re about to do something special”, you have to prepare yourself for what may take place. My daughter wanted to wear an elf hat and zebra-print socks for this give-away drawing and, well, my son opted for a stethoscope. Only the finest for our fans, right?!
We stirred up these names together, then my daughter closed her eyes, scooped some up, stirred them again, almost sent my glass bowl tumbling down my brick stairs, and picked one name out.
Warmest congratulations to….
