Siblings and Cousins | Oakton Family Photographer

Over the Christmas holiday, I was lucky to spend a morning with four great kids.  We went hiking.  Through snow, sleet, wind, mud, muck, yuck, the photographer just keeps on trudging…. Two of the kids are local to my area, and the other two girls are cousins, visiting from Atlanta.  It was amazing to me...

Sisters | Oakton Family Photography

Three girls.  I have my three (and a boy).  Let me tell you, three girls close in age are a handful.  You hope that when they got older they are as close emotionally as they are in age!  As part of doing a generational photoshoot with grandparents and their children and their grandchildren, I had...

Cookie-Making Event | Holiday Traditions

Two years ago, I started a blog.  Not this one.  Another one.  I say that now because I remember that one of my first posts on that blog was pictures taken from our annual holiday cookie-making.  And it’s funny that I say “our” because it’s really my wonderful neighbor.  You may have seen her around...

Boys. Times Three. | Oakton Family Photographer

On Thanksgiving morn, I had so much fun.  I got to pick up three handsome guys for a walk in the fog.  Explore, run, laugh, walk.  Basically, tire ‘em out, and take them back home to mom and dad.  Then I did a ten minute photowalk by myself to get some cool black and white...

Black {and White} Friday | Photographer in My Neighborhood

Today is Black Friday.  I don’t do Black Friday.  One, I hate crowds.  Two, I hate shopping.  And, three, no amount of savings is worth it to me to endure either of those things.  Period. So, I sit at home today, in my jammies, deleting all the “sale” emails that keep coming in, trying to...
