Happy Veterans Day!

What better way to spend Veteran’s Day than to spend it with some of your favorite military friends.  This is a very good friend of mine and her BEAUTIFUL family.  Enjoy!

The Bello Family

Every once in a while, I’ll run into a very pose-happy, camera-loving toddler.  This little girl was just up for anything and made the whole shoot easy and fun!!  If only all the kids were this easy!!  Here are some pictures from their family shoot.  Enjoy!!

Whew. It’s been a busy 3 months.

My last post was just days before my newest daughter was born.  So, needless to say… I’ve been pre-occupied :)  BUT I have been taking pictures all along :)  I’ll be updating my blog with quick posts from each family I’ve seen in the past 12 weeks.  Enjoy and here is picture of my littler daughter, Charlize at 8 days old.

…. and we’re LIVE!

Hello all,

Just wanted to give you an update that my new site is now up and running!  I am very excited and happy to share with you my (new and improved) website.  Click here to view it!

So, to all that have been following me and my blog… THANK YOU!  If you are new to my blog, check it out and show me some love <3

This baby of mine is due to make her appearance any day now so if you don’t hear back from me in the next few weeks, that’s why ;)

Enjoy!

i love pattycakes

Hello everyone.  I can’t begin to tell you how unbelievably busy I have been lately.  As some of you may know, I help my husband run a basketball league back home, AABL.  We finished our first Titan’s Tourney this summer with AiReal Apparel.  The following weekend, we celebrated my dad’s 60th birthday and retirement in Virginia Beach (I’ll post our family pix soon).  Planning for those two big events took up a lot of our time.  Now that it’s all over and done with, I find myself exhausted and sleep deprived.  It’s like I blinked and I’m at the end of my pregnancy.  I have just about 3 weeks to go and realistically, princess #2 may arrive any day now :)  The best thing about being pregnant this time of the year is that I don’t have to work.  Summer vacation is in full effect and I’ve taken advantage of it to the fullest.  I did my very best to take Ava EVERYWHERE!  Library every Tuesday for activities and shows.  Movies every Wednesday for FREE in Kingstowne.  Waterpark, playdates, beach, phew!  Now, I am ready to have this baby!  I just have to muster up the strength to do a little bit more cleaning!

So, as school came to a close… I was packing up my office and received a wonderful surprise from a student at my school.  She mentioned that her step-mother, Patty, made baby gifts and that she had given one to me!  I promised Patty that I would post pictures of the ADORABLE cupcake washcloths on my blog.  With all that has been going on, this has been the first time that I have had a moment to upload pictures!  (Sorry Patty!)  Please visit her site on etsy www.ilovepattycakes.etsy.com.  Thank you again Patty and I love them all.  I just can’t believe I will be using them in just a few weeks.. maybe days!!  Enjoy!

sweet sisters, Jillian & Caroline

Meet beautiful sisters, Jillian and Caroline.  Both so strikingly beautiful!  Jillian is the adorable brown-eyed beauty (love the hairstyle!) and Caroline blond cutie with bold blue eyes.  ;)  They just make me smile.  Enjoy!

Portrait Party Playdate- Host Tiffany

This photoshoot was particularly special because I watched these kids grow up!  Meet children of some very good friends of mine:  Devon, Chloe, Emory, and Breon-Leigh are Tiffany’s kids.  Gabrielle and Griffin (who you may have seen in previous blog posts) are kids of Susan.  This shoot was taken at the Carlyle House Historic Park in Old Town Alexandria.  Enjoy!
