John and Meghan: Married – Top of The Town Wedding – Arlington Virginia
slideshows / weddings / 0 Comment / November 1, 2018

I love the hustle and bustle of a wedding day.  All of it… makeup, hair, shoes, dresses, suits, bow-ties, ties, boutonnieres, corsages, bouquets etc.  It’s truly an exciting time.  As I am getting to know the bridesmaids I start the capture of the essentials… dress, shoes, jewelry, bouquets and then go down the road that leads me.  In this case, the girls were ready and I was just a little bit shocked.  I decided to get their photos as Meghan finished up so we went outside and took photos under the “cigar tree”.  The history of the Clark home is fascinating likewise the “name” of the tree outside.

Once Meghan was ready to get into her dress it was hustle time and the pace picked up considerably.  I quickly took a few photos of her getting dressed, one outside with the girls then I was off to the church as Dr. Clark reminded everyone that it was TIME!!!

From that point on capturing the photos of John and Meghan’s day was just fun.  Their family (Meghan’s endless girl cousins with a sprinke of a college friend) and friends (John’s friends from Austin with a spray of in-laws to be) were such a fun bunch to shoot.  They provided me with endless smiles throughout the afternoon and evening and welcomed me in to capture it all.   The party began after the formalities at the reception venue, Top Of The Town, and continued well into the night.

John and Meghan, thanks so much for letting me tag along for this ride and trusting me with one of the most important days of your young lives.  I enjoyed every minute of your fun filled evening and loved capturing the moments that will truly last you a lifetime.  May you continue to be blessed in your relationship and your growing family.

National Gallery of Art | Meridian Hill | Engagement shoot Mackenzie and Carlton
engagements / slideshows / 0 Comment / June 27, 2018

Like a trooper, the Washington weather gave us one day between days and days of rain to capture this awesome engagement shoot.  Mackenzie and Sam started their engagement session at Meridian Hill in Washington DC.  All smiles, hugs and cuddling allowed as I positioned myself to get the shots.  When they look at each other they can not help but smile.  It makes my heart glad to see this kind of majic love emerge from two High School sweethearts.  Take a look at their slideshow and you can see what I mean.

    Perfect example of a gorgeous queen 👑 who wante Perfect example of a gorgeous queen 👑 who wanted a portrait of her family for her birthday! Yes, we made that happen but all I could think about was taking a legacy portrait of HER!  What a beautiful woman with such a powerful soul! 
👑
She has a way about her that took me just moments to discern.  When I met her for the first time she looked me over, acknowledged my grateful greeting,took my hands in hers, and gently squeezed them with love and approval.  During the session she didn’t say much but when surrounded by her sons and later her extended family her smile radiated the room.  A woman of grand faith I could tell by furnishings that completed her living space but I was particularly drawn to a hardwood grand cross and staff leaning in the corner! After taking pictures with her paper covered bibles that I knew were special, I asked if she wanted to take a picture with her staff!  She said no but leaned toward it and we pulled it out!  My heart was so happy because I knew it was special to her! I could feel it. She posed, I snapped, we laughed and her daughter in law (who made this all happen on this day at this time) almost burst with joy!  I knew my job was done there but I do believe my portrait,my art, my vision will live a lifetime in the hearts and minds of her loved ones once we print her portrait and hang it on her wall!  I pray she will be pleased... not for what she wanted that day but for what I wanted for HER!

    Family sessions before the teens leave the nest ha Family sessions before the teens leave the nest have always been dear to my heart as they remind us of a point in time when the hustle and bustle of life seems overwhelming but the calm of the session day resets us, freezes that moment and shows us how utterly beautiful these moments are! 💕💕😎
Thank you LT for trusting me to capture this moment in time for you!  Yes,  he smiles! 🤗

    Self portraits are hard. Expressions you think lo Self portraits are hard.  Expressions you think look good on you sometimes don’t!  I love portraits with no smile.  On me?  I look mean. 🙃
Note to me.... work on that expressionless face! 
Happy Monday y’all!!! 💕💕😎

    #whimsy4life is a thing. For me it’s personal, i #whimsy4life is a thing. For me it’s personal, it’s my business lifeline and means so much.  It represents my clients who continue to come back to me for those times that mean the most!  Not a selfie moment, not dad with a camera (no offense Herb) but trusting me to capture those special times for eternity!
I captured him when he graduated from kindergarten and mom called me when he was ready to graduate from high school.  It was my honor and pleasure.  THIS I do not take for granted or feel it is guaranteed.  My clients are #whimsy4lifers because of my passion for what I create, love for that creativity, mutual love, ultimate friendships and respect!
Congratulations Tripp! It was awesome watching you take care of your horse and ride!  I have no doubt you’ll be a great veterinarian! 
@angelas_eyes & @mufasa1906  thanks for being a part of my #whimsy4life family and trusting me to capture your #uncommonequestrian 💕💕😎
