I just HAVE to share more of this session. As I was culling I just kept saying “aww..” her expressions are all super sweet. Lil R* is the daughter of my friend and awesome wedding photographer Andrea,from Andrea and Renata. Check them out- their wedding work is flawless. I have had the pleasure of working with them multiple times and I will always be grateful to Andrea for taking me to Aruba to help her shoot a wedding.

Family Session

admin — Mon, 18 Mar 2013 03:30:09 +0000

I am waiting for this weather to be more consistent so I can get back to shooting outside! Thinking about the weather and family sessions I remembered this family session from last year and I decided to blog it. This session is also a good example of what to wear- I love the way the combined colors & textures here. Furthermore I am excited to see this family again soon as we are waiting for a new baby brother t be born!

Four Generations of Awesomeness: Arequipa, Peru Photographer

admin — Wed, 31 Oct 2012 05:55:03 +0000

For the most part I do family portraits- mom, dad, son and daughter but when I was asked to shoot a generation of four, I was excited and a bit intimidated by the opportunity. Luckily for me the dynamic of these women together made the shoot real easy and actually really fun for me. At one point I was having so much fun I wanted to hand the camera to my assistant and jump in, to be a part of their family too. For them to have chosen me to capture these portraits of them, is very humbling to me because I know they are going to be treasured portraits to them for generations to follow. We wrapped up the shoot with a glass of wine- my type of clients!

Halloween Birthday Party- Gaithersburg, Maryland

admin — Tue, 30 Oct 2012 04:40:26 +0000

Til this day, I believe the most hits I get on my blog are from the Cherrios Party my sister put together for my nephews 1st birthday. Since then she has done many others but I haven’t been able to attend because I have been out of the country or because of work- my nephew’s birthdays (I have two nephews) land in the midst of wedding season. Luckily, I was able to attend this last birthday right before heading out to a wedding. Last year he had a Cowboy themed birthday party- real ponies and all! So this year he decided he wanted a Halloween party- costumes and all! As a child, I remember going to Chuck-E-Cheese or going to someone’s house, just eating candy, playing with a clown (took me awhile cause I use to be terrified of clowns) and then just finishing off by hitting a piñata… What I love about the birthday parties my sister puts together is that there are a number of activities that keep the kids engaged and of course it also ends with a piñata! And who can compete with her decorations?! Enjoy

Who knew books would be such a hit at a birthday party?!

Family Portrait Photographer: Arequipa, Peru

admin — Fri, 26 Oct 2012 05:40:14 +0000

Wow, I don’t remember the last time I even thought of blogging… while I will not promise that I will become a consistent blogger I am hoping to commit to blogging at least once a week. There are a ton of sessions for me to blog about but this is the one that popped into my head first. Ever since last November every time I traveled to Peru (and some people know that is a lot) I had the pleasure of photographing this little cutie, T*. Now that I am looking at the pictures I can see how much she has grown! Here are some images from the four sessions we have had together.

It has been a long hiatus for me from my blog. There have been a couple reasons for this but the main one was because I am very computer illiterate and was unable to do some ~~basic~~ updates. But I am BACK. The look is cleaner and updates will finally be coming. Stay tuned!

Maryland Engagement Photographer | lake artemesia

admin — Thu, 12 May 2011 07:13:17 +0000

Seems to me people are getting engaged these days- left and right. Engagements are my favorite. It is the time that I get to know the couple- get to know their love. Honestly sometimes I just watch the way they interact and forget I actually have to take pictures. Yes I get caught up in the moment!!

Morning light has to be my favorite. It has this softness to it; so when my clients decide to wake up butt early for their shoot to take advantage of that light- I already know it’s going to be a great session. Ghayda and Mejdi meet up with me at Lake Artemesia one early morning to do their engagement session. Lake Artemesia is one of my favorite spots to feed the geese but I never photographed there so I was super excited. Also I have photographed Ghayda prior so I already knew the camera loves her but boy did she work it and make my job way toooo easy.

Maryland Maternity Photographer

admin — Wed, 11 May 2011 18:16:51 +0000

I won’t even touch the subject about my lack of blogging- lol. I will just say that I am back. Finally I am in the country for a good while. This year I have already traveled abroad three times and we aren’t even halfway through the year. Again I am super blessed for the career I have. Never in my wildest dreams would I have imagined getting PAID to go Aruba to do what I love- PHOTOGRAPH!!!

Now I will leave you with this maternity session. I love to shoot using the sun as my light source but sometimes I do like to bust out the strobes! Cannot wait to meet and photograph the baby girl in that tummy. Note: I REALLY luck out with HOT clients!!

Second day in a row blogging but that’s about to end cause I am heading to Peru tomorrow. =)

Again I truly enjoy capturing both Maternity and Newborn sessions. It allows me to get to know the family and gets me super excited to meet the baby. Here is Hendrix (love the name!) at two weeks exactly. As you can see he is so fortunate to have an older brother to take care of him. And aren’t you totally digging his hair??!!!
