Love Photographs Beautifully | May Challenge

What can you say about taking pictures of someone you’ve known for nearly a quarter century? Especially when it’s pictures of your dear friend and her wonderful daughters? You can say that it’s AMAZING. AWESOME. INSPIRING. WONDERFUL. BEAUTIFUL. Yes, you can say all these things. When I went to Seattle recently for the Chic Retreat, I was able to spend the day with my best friend from college and her lovely daughters. They had never had professional pictures taken together and we had the best time. The girls were totally into it. We went to a lush, green park and walked among the trees. Then we headed to another park that had some huge iron gates that made the perfect backdrop.

I love the smiles. The silliness (Gangman Style, anyone?) and the connection between mother and daughters. Thanks for looking!

For this bracelet, I would shop for an outfit to match it! But in the meantime, I think it would look rad with my daily wear – boyfriend capri jeans, and a white tee. It also matches my watch, so I can see myself wearing it almost every day…I LOVE IT and NEED IT!

Collin’s Senior Shoot (Maryland senior photographer)

What can I say about Collin? Handsome. Polite. Funny. Going places. I had a great time with him and his family in Edgewater taking his Senior Pictures. We found tall grass and rocky shores. We walked to the end of piers and sat by the marsh. But it was the classic car, his baby, the Chevelle he restored with his dad that really let Collin’s personality shine through. Congratulations Collin – Class of 2013!!!

Wonder Woman Rides a Bike (maryland kids photographer)

Earlier this year I blogged about how my youngest daughter was Wonder Woman for Halloween and pretty much hasn’t taken the costume off since. She wears it to school. She wears it to bed. She wears it to play. The costume is now too small. It’s fading. It’s gross. And she still loves it. I desperately need to order her a new one, but there’s something about this particular costume that she just loves. She was the same way with a nightgown last year and we ended up finding it on eBay and bought five of them. Of course, she only wanted the original. Even thought it was stained and falling apart, that was the one she wanted. She knew the difference. And I love that about her. I love that at four, she’s already sentimental. I love that at four, she already realizes that some things just can’t be replaced.

Today, she rode her bike and played int he house in her costume. And just because she hates the black and white photos, I told her I’d include a few color ones. Thanks for stopping by!
