project 52 of 2013 | thankful

I am so very thankful. Thankful that I have been so busy editing professional sessions, I haven't had time to edit personal ones. Thankful for my two amazing little girls who keep me equally as busy but never give me a hard time when I ask them to sit still for a cute picture. Thankful for my husband who supports me endlessly and without reservation. Thankful for coffee. Thankful for Thanksgiving on Thursday and the family that will be joining us. Thankful for...well, I am just so very thankful.

project 52 of 2013 | fire

Our challenge this week was fire, so I grabbed my little Rebel and brought it to hibachi last night.

project 52 of 2013 | texture

For our challenge this week, I brought my Canon 100mm f/2.8 Macro to Wegmans for some up-close-and-personal shots of fruits and veggies. My apologies to everyone I prevented from easily accessing the produce.

[session preview] Santa Baby | Long Island Photographer

I am excited to be doing more sessions on Long Island when I visit home. This amazing family contacted me and I was looking forward to meeting them. Without going into too many details, this session was truly important to them and I was so grateful for the opportunity to capture these images.

[session preview] The D Family | Leesburg VA Family Photographer

I first photographed this awesome family months ago when Baby B was born. She was the third lifestyle newborn session I'd ever had and I was totally in love. Not only are the kids adorable but mom and dad are a lot of fun, so I was thrilled when they asked me to do their family session.

project 52 of 2013 | night time / low light

It's 7:03pm and I definitely just realized today is Sunday. I'm going to blame Daylight Savings Time. Anyway...I had planned to share our Halloween images separately but I thought this was perfect for our  night time/low light challenge this week. It's one of my favorites of my daughter Cinderella and her friend Tinkerbell trick-or-treating.
