Introducing: Kaleb!

Introducing:  Kaleb! ~ April 2013 ~ MD

One of the most awesome perks of being a photographer is being able to chronicle the life of a family.  From their engagement to their wedding, to now, the birth of their little one, I’m having a blast keeping up with Kaya and Kira!  I got to spend a relaxing sunny afternoon with them and their newest addition to the family.  So, I am pleased to introduce you to the incomparable, adorable, beyond precious…Kaleb.

Now, against my better judgement and more importantly, my Dallas Cowboys loyalties, I love these folks so much that I agreed to photograph him in…of all  things…Redskins stuff…LOL!!!  Here’s dad giving Kaleb a little pep talk!

I know what you’re thinking Kaleb…can someone get me out of this stuff…I’d prefer something with a silver star on it!!!

Dad is going to have this little one loving bikes in no time…or not…lol!

And that’s a wrap!  Our star model is worn out – this is hard work!

Congratulations Kaya & Kira!!

The Foundation Schools Benefit 2013: Giving Kids Another Chance

The Foundation Schools Benefit 2013:  Giving Kids Another Chance ~ March 21, 2013 ~  MD

For the second year in a row, I had the opportunity to photograph The Foundation Schools’ Benefit Dinner.  The Foundation Schools, as found on their website, provides a highly specialized educational and therapeutic program for children in grades 1-12 with emotional disabilities and prepares them to be productive and successful in their future academic and career paths.  This year’s theme was “Giving Kids Another Chance” and guests were treated to a silent and live auction, performances by several student groups, a wonderful dinner and an inspiring speech by the keynote speaker, Governor Martin O’Malley.  The event raised money to help The Foundation Schools continue to do all of the awesome work they do with the exceptional kids in their care.  Take a peek at the slideshow, by clicking on the image below, to get a glimpse of the evening:

Just in case you missed the Benefit Dinner, know that there are still opportunities to give.  Simply, visit The Foundation Schools website to make a donation!

Richard + Stephanie: Married!

Richard + Stephanie: Married! ~ January 19, 2013 ~ Maryland

I had the great pleasure of photographing the beautiful wedding and Caribbean inspired reception of a good friend.  Richard and Stephanie, with roots in the Virgin Islands and Barbados, paid wonderful homage to their islands by bringing the traditions to their celebration.  Surrounded by family and friends, the committed their love to each other in a wonderful ceremony at the gorgeous Baldwin Memorial United Methodist Church.  Some weddings and receptions are just downright enjoyable. This, was one of them!  We were pleased to be a part of their special day.  Click on the image below to take a peek at the day…

Congratulations!

William + Sonya: Married!

William + Sonya :  Married! ~ January 3, 2013 ~ Annapolis, MD

I introduced you to William and Sonya in December when we got to spend some time doing their engagement photos.  So, I was really excited to capture their wedding day last month.  It was a beautiful (and cold) day as we made our way to the sweet and cozy Annapolis Wedding Chapel.  The ceremony was intimate and truly heart warming!  And this awesome couple even braved the cold as we headed out to capture their momentous occasion around town.  It was truly a great day…click on the picture to take a peek for yourself…

 

Congratulations Mr. & Mrs. Gaston!!
