Networking is FUN! | Northern Virginia Photographer

Photographers enjoy and have play-dates too! It's something that I look forward to doing about once a month or so with the local photographers in this area. We have a pot luck lunch or dinner talk about the latest vendors so that we can bring you the VERY best products, discuss new techniques, the latest equipment and all the stuff our families are tired of hearing about. We even at times point the camera at each other for some fun "getting-the-shot shots. This past Saturday I hit the road and headed to Richmond VA. We met up at Grace Yoga the manager Rachel Baxter Cook was a willing and stunning bride model.






Words can't express how much fun I had. Although we did get some rain and horrible overcast it turned out to be perfect! Check out one of the yoga teachers Lauren Fritsch. She was so much fun and willing to try and do anything!

It was a Yoga studio after all!

YES!! She was willing to jump for us!

Yup and wedge herself in a doorway!

I also want to spotlight the floral designer who happens to also be a Wedding & Event Planner. Elations Pauline has some gorgeous details to her table setting as well as the floral arragments she brought for us.

Most Wanted | In Northern Virginia

Blog Stalkers~

The case of Erica Heather Smith will be featured Saturday on the television show America’s Most Wanted. Erica's family needs justice! This case really hit home for many reasons one of them being this is my children's cousins' sister. There have been many years of sleep-less nights wondering what happen to their baby girl.
Her family needs closure so they can truly put Erica to rest.

Erica disappeared on July 29, 2002, and her body was located 10 days later in a wooded area in the Beaumeade Corporate Park in Ashburn, VA. Erica was 14-years-old at the time of her death. The Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office continues to gather information and investigate leads that are developed surrounding the disappearance and murder of Erica.

The segment is scheduled to air at 9 p.m Saturday, February, 28, 2009. The show airs locally on WTTG Fox 5. The America’s Most Wanted website now lists 1057 fugitive captures.

Anyone with information regarding the investigation is urged to contact the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office at 703-777-0475. If the caller wishes to remain anonymous, they are asked to call Loudoun Crime Solvers at 703-777-1919. If this information leads to an arrest and indictment, the caller is entitled to a cash reward.

Until next time~

V-Day session | Delaware Photographer

I have oh sooo many GREAT images of sweet baby Conner to share. I can't seem to edit them all fast enough. We had his session on Valentines Day and it was my first day in Dover for mini sessions, birthdays, car tinting, skating, basketball games and visit with my partner Lori and her girls {my lovely nieces}. Needless to say our cameras rarely stayed in their bags. This little guys mom and dad have been dying to see images from their session. They waited the entire l-o-n-g weekend to get this super sneak peak. So without further ado here is baby Conner.
*hugs*

Warning this is a super teaser so many more to come...

I can't express enough how much I LOVE this family! We had a mini session for the kids this past weekend while I was in Delaware. These children are GORGEOUS!

Family: Daddy's Girl | Northern Virginia Photography

10 years ago my childhood friend loss the most dear person in her life, her dad. He feel ill and God called him home. I truly believe J and her father communicate in their own little way. I know that it sounds crazy but trust me she can still feel the love of her father even though he is in heaven.
J, It was my pleasure to be there with your family to remember him and release balloons in his honor. Even though your all grown up and have a lovely family of your own you will always be daddy's little girl.



I'm pretty sure little Miss A is a daddy's girl too. Look at her lovely big blue eyes. Such a sweetie pie and oh so grown up.

J I can't wait to return to your home to do baby V's session. He is a adorable!

Mom look it's our money "shot"

And finally Mr. A...or should I say Mr. Independent. I l-o-v-e how he pronounces my name...Miss Dacy...Miss Dacy!! Oh so sweet.

Chris & J I will see you soon. I hope you enjoyed your sneak peak.
