Kristi and Matt - 1 year Anniversary

Where do I begin. Matt and I are fraternity Brothers (Delta Sigma Pi). He and I were close during my last semester at Mason. He and Kristi had met at Mason and started dating only a few weeks before I met Matt and started pledging DSP. They are both go-getters - Matt the President of DSP and Kristi the President of Gamma Phi Beta, her sorority.

Shortly after college, Kristi started working with me at the Department of State and we carpooled together. Stuck is 66 traffic for an hour+ each day with her made my days MUCH easier. We really got to know each other during these few months. She was one of the first people to know I was pregnant and I knew almost right away when they got engaged. I couldn't be MORE thrilled for the two of them.

They are absolutely perfect for each other!

When she booked this session with me, she told me she wanted to do a cake smash because they didn't do it at their wedding. I couldn't be more excited. I thought "what a great idea"! It was a smash and the pictures turned out great.

Kristi and Matt - I have enjoyed being a part of your life together and I am glad you are a part of mine. Congrats on your happy life! I hope you two live a lifetime full of love and memories. - E

One Year Anniversary Celebration

Lizy and Dave recently celebrated their one year anniversary. Lizy and I work together and she is the most honest and down to earth person I have met. Dave was quiet for the most part and occasionally threw in some of his witty comments, which I appreciate. 

They brought their baby - Haley, a one year old German Shepherd.

 I had a great time shooting their one year anniversary pictures.



Congrats you two. May you share many wonderful years together and make memories that you will never forget.

The Garcia "kids"

My husband had been good friends with Jose for years and then they became best friends. He soon became friends with Jose's sister, Sue and brother, G. A few years ago Jose moved to Texas but regardless they stayed friends and we picked Jose to be Antonio's godfather. Every year they go on a trip to a new place to catch up (Miami, Vegas, Texas). They both turned 30 this year and Jose decided to come visit and help celebrate with his sister Sue.

When I found out they were coming to visit I was excited because I hadn't been able to catch uo with Sue and hadn't seen Jose since AJ's baptism. I was even more excited with Sue asked me to take pictures for their dad for Father's Day. This is the result.

I hope their father loves these as much as I do.

Maternity Leave and Schedule for the remainder of 2012

As many of you know my husband and I are expecting our second bundle at the end of this year (early December). I will be taking leave from 36 weeks until the baby is 12 weeks old. When I return I will be offering limited sessions so I can spend time with my children, as I expect to go back to my full time job after having this baby as well.

With this said I would still like to offer Holiday sessions for my clients. Therefore, I will be having two days full of mini sessions for everyone interested. I will also be offering Fall mini sessions and boudoir mini sessions so that you will be able to get these done for your significant other as gifts.  All the information is listed on the fliers below. I have also listed the only dates I have available for OTHER sessions.
