In Your Own Backyard

This past Sunday, I photographed Jeff, Circe, Corrine and Sydney.  Sometimes the backyard and a cute piece of furniture are a nice formula for a photo session - and the fact that this family is goh-oh-orgeous doesn't hurt. :-)

Here is the sneak peek...

They make my job SO easy.  Thanks guys, I'll send the password to your gallery soon.

9 Photographers, 10 Words and Endless Inspiration

This past weekend I went up to Pennsylvania for a reunion/retreat with nine of the ladies from Me Ra Koh's NYC5 Confidence Workshop (that took place last May).  Lot's of laughter, catching up, tears and of course...photography. 

One of the things we did was take pictures of each other - since we hardly ever get to be in front of the camera ourselves.  Here are a few of pics I took of these remarkable women...

This is Monica, a beautiful woman inside and out, she has a soft loveliness that is juxtaposed with an amazing edgy sense of humor and impeccable comedic timing.

Hannah - stunning Hannah.  This lady is wise beyond her years.  She is full of life and has a HUGE heart for people, words and art.  The youngest of us, was often able to articulate what we all were feeling.

Jane - was our hostess for the weekend.  The passion, energy and accessibility of this woman is infectious beyond measure.  Her home is like her, warm, inviting and full of LOVE.

Marcia (pronounced "Marseeah" :-)  She brings so much fun and life to any room, and when she quiets down and grows intense - she is more beautiful than she knows.

Alicia.  Gorgeous Alicia.  She has an eye for beauty and a passion for the world.  She possesses a quiet intensity and she just...glows. 

Christine.  She is powerful in her directness and "get it done" attitude.  The growth that has occurred in her life over the past year is so inspiring to me.  She is FIERCE!  But I gotta say, it's her softer side that melts my heart.

Gretchen.  You take one look at her amazing eyes and you know you are safe.  You feel like who you are - is enough.  She is gentile and creative and notices incredible details.  What a gift.

Last , but not least is the amazing Rachel.  She didn't want to get in front of the camera.  I wish we had insisted on it now. :-) You will find this beautiful brunette smack dab in the middle on the second row of our group shot below (set up by Christine).  Rachel is strong, edgy, innovative and has the gift of "vision".  A talented photographer, she took the fun photo I've added to my blog header. :-)  

Thank you ladies for the "recharge".  I'm so blessed to know you, love you and have you in my life.

Jackie Girl

My session with young Jackie topped off a wonderful weekend of photo sessions.  This little girl was one of those kids who are a little more serious at times, but when they let go and play..."light" and magic happen.  Quite a beauty...

I really liked this kid's personality - Jackie was down to earth and "real" - just like her mom and dad - the kind of people you want to hang with.

Gallery up soon.

Thanks guys.

Evelyn & Co.

Last Saturday morning, it took me three times as long to get to my photo session.  The DC metro area was in full "busy" mode with rallies on the mall and people trying to get to them, accidents on 495 and the usual volume of traffic that "is" this area. 

It was certainly worth the wait to have the opportunity to meet Evelyn and her parents.  Mom and dad took advantage of the extra time and let Evelyn get a little more beauty sleep (not that she needed it) - and this four month cutie was refreshed and ready to go by the time I got there. 

Here are a few peeks from our session...

So good to meet you - Evelyn's mom and dad!  Your gallery will be up soon.
