Thomas A. Dixon Jr. - Aircraft Observation Area

Everyone likes watching airplanes land & take off, right? Well... I do anyway... it wasn't the sunniest of days, but I captured some good shots of a few planes coming in to land at BWI.

Rehearsal Details

My best friend is getting married... tomorrow! My husband and I attended the rehearsal dinner earlier this evening at Gilbert's Liberty Market, I happened to be the only one there with a functioning camera (dead batteries, flash wasn't working, etc.) so I played "photographer." Of course I took photos of the people... but I wanted them to be able to remember everything so here are some "detail" shots:

AZ Snow Dusting

Yesterday we had quite the winter storm for the Valley here in Arizona, I captured this image of The Superstition Mountains before the snow melted off completely. I love the contrast of the cacti, mountains, & snow.

Flower Bridal Shower

Yesterday I threw my bestfriend's bridal shower. She isn't really into pink so I wanted to stray away from that being the dominate color, she does however love flowers... so I took that and ran with it. A lot of DIY ideas came together, almost everyone's favorite thing was my "framed photo-booth." Here's a glimpse of the party-

Maryland Winter - Nature

We finally got snow here after all of those "winter storm warnings." The morning after, I figured I should take a photo walk before the snow melted away...

Grace Alexandra - Newborn

I have known Erin the longest out of anyone here in Maryland. I was lucky enough to meet her back when my husband and I were still just dating, then engaged, then married. She's been one of my closest friends here, when she got pregnant I was very excited for her and her husband.

He will be deploying this spring and she wanted to have some photos taken of her while she was still very young. So, when she asked if I could take her daughter's 6 week pictures I was honored!

Without further adeiu, may I present...

All these photos make her look so cute and innocent, everything you could want from a 6wk old... but for some reason, I really like this one:

Maybe it's the fact that, well... it's real life.
Babies cry.

Jeremy & Lauren - Engagement Shoot

Jeremy had worked with my husband for a couple years and they became good friends. In September Jeremy was told he would be doing a 1yr unaccompanied tour of duty in Japan. He was already engaged to Lauren, but their big wedding wasn't planned until next year (2011). They decided to get married in a civil ceremony with just their family present- they will however still be having their large wedding celebration next year- white dress/dress blues, the works.

Lauren found out he would be coming home for Christmas and asked if I could take pictures for them as a "late" engagement/save the date photo session. Of course I said yes! We even had a light snowfall... made the day beautiful.
