project 52 of 2013 | landscape

This week's challenge was "landscape" Unfortunately, my daughter was very sick all week, so I barely picked up my camera (or got out of the house). So I ran out tonight and snapped this at the lake down the road. Don't say I never gave you anything ;)

Toddlers and Tutus | Northern Virginia Photographer

I had two super fun sessions this past week and figured I'd share some favorites with you. Featuring some of my favorite girls!

project 52 of 2013 | togetherness

This week's challenge was "togetherness." As the very pregnant mom of a toddler, it may not surprise you to hear that one of my favorite times of the day is bed time...but probably not for the reason you're thinking (ha!)

project 52 of 2013 | closeup/macro

If you've been reading my blog for even a short time, you probably already know that I'm obsessed with my Canon 100mm f/2.8 Macro. I use it for everything - I loved how it performed on my Rebel, and now that I'm on a full frame camera, I love it even more. It's so versatile and captures a ton of detail!

project 52 of 2013 | mother

Our challenge this week was, appropriately, "mother." I had a number of ideas all involving my "real" camera and my unwitting husband. But the more I planned these shots for my post, the more I thought how nice it would be to share a few of my favorite real images from this week, showing what being a mother means to me.

Paint and Superheros | Northern Virginia Photographer

I'll explain the superheros part tomorrow, as part of my weekly photo challenge.

Today, my friend Beryl and I took our daughters to a Mommy & Me art class at the new Art Station in Leesburg, VA. They had a blast! Unhindered and full of creative expressiveness that only two-year-olds know, our girls took their mouse paintings to a new level.

The "G" Three | Northern Virginia Photographer

One of the moms from our Friday playgroup asked me to do a session for her toddler son and twin 4-month-old daughters, and how could I resist?? Check out those baby blues!!
