A Lesson in Irony

The M Family's 10th Anniversary | Northern Virginia Photographer

Yesterday I shared two images from a very special session last week for my weekly photo challenge. I'm so excited to be able to share some more with you today!

A few weeks ago I got an email from a fellow photog I did a session for last year (check out her blog here). Her 10th wedding anniversary was coming up and she had this incredible idea - to put back on her original gown, rent a tux for her husband, put her gorgeous daughter in a flower girl dress and her adorable son in a suit...and take some wedding photos!

Oh, how I love silhouettes.

For this week's challenge I chose images from a super fun, 10th anniversary session where the bride put on her wedding dress (she looks just as amazing now as she did 10 years ago!), the groom was in a tux, and the kids were all dressed up as flower girl and ring bearer. What a fantastic and creative idea to commemorate such a milestone anniversary.

Thomas and Friends

Last Friday, Husband and I took our daughter to see Thomas and Friends in Baltimore. From an adult POV it felt like a giant line ride, but from a kid's POV it was pure awesomeness. My daughter's favorite part was going for a ride on Thomas.

This weeks challenge was "motion blur." I had a few ideas...

project 52 of 2013 | no faces

This week's challenge was "no faces." Being that it's spring in Northern Virginia, the first thing I thought of was to share photos of the cherry blossoms in our yard, but it's been really windy here. Then I took this of me shaking paws with our German Shepherd, Snoopy; I liked the imagery of the bond between man and beast. Working with rescues again has reminded me of the appreciation our dogs have for us. Even though they sometimes drive us completely nuts, and are not without their quirks, we're their family and they're ours.

Flowers and Birds | Northern Virginia Photographer

Figured I'd update everyone on how our little butterfly garden is doing. Happy to report that it seems there is life to it! The milkweed still hasn't come up, but the woodland sunflowers are off to a great start. This is one of the three we planted; they all pretty much look the same.
