This past Saturday, my brother had the honor of going to the Mount De Sales Prom with his friend Shannon. Of course being his favorite big sister, I tagged along my mom to go take pictures of Shannon and Sam meeting up, and then went with them to a Pre-Prom where they would meet up with a handful of friends.

Shannon and Sam looked stellar and so did the other girls and their dates at the Pre-Prom gathering. Everyone looked fantastic! Here are the pictures from the evening!

Christina and Matt helped us with our November wedding. Christina was one of our day of coordinators… she picked up my bouquet, helped with all things ceremony the morning of the wedding, and came the day before to work as well. She did so much. And Matt, thanks for chainsawing all those wood pieces from your wood forest for our centerpieces… they will be great for bonfires this summer when you guys come over!

As a thank you, we wanted to bless them and give them something to have for years! They never got engagement pictures done, so we thought an anniversary shoot was fitting for these two… they are adorable and I’m pretty sure they fell in love all over again on Saturday.

I still can’t believe that on November 2nd, Patrick said yes to me. I am beyond blessed to have him for my husband. It’s been 6 months. We are still newlyweds for another 6 months! Happy 6 months Patrick. Let’s go get some yummy food and do something crazy!

This past Saturday, Maggie got to spend an hour with the Grissom Family. Mark and Sherilyn are pastors at our church, which we love. It’s called Way of Life up in Forest Hill, Maryland.

We met Mark and Sherilyn about a year ago, when we first started attending Way of Life. We are thankful for our new friends.

Rest doesn’t mean sleep, or rather sleep alone although most people think that. It actually means: freedom from activity or labor; peace of mind or spirit. I’d like to think of it as getting away mentally and letting life freeze around you.

Newborn shoots are always unpredictable. I’ve come to the realization that newborns are fun to hold, to swaddle, to look at, etc. I’m looking forward to being a mom and having my own newborn some day. However newborns are NOT easy to photograph. In our photography services, these are the most difficult.

Beata is spunky, fun, beautiful and so pleasant to be around. Beata wanted to do a portrait shoot with us to build up some portfolio headshots, so we strolled through Patterson Park on Saturday and did just that. Beata is a babe… clearly.

This past Sunday, individuals across three church campus’ in Maryland, made the same decision. We were given the awesome opportunity to photograph Baptism Sunday at the church we’ve been attending for the last year. I love my church. I have been going to Way of Life Community Church in Forest Hill for almost an entire year. We believe in the power of the local church and placing value upon humanity. They have three beautiful campus’, one is Middle River, one is Forest Hill, and one in Cecil County. 

For those of you who don’t know. I love crossfit.  I love it because it motivates me, structures me, pushes me, and makes my body and mind strong and capable. I hate it because some days it sucks, the work outs are mind blowing, and my body will hurt… this week, I struggled to climb steps and get dressed, but of course… I can’t wait to get back to the box.

Hear ye, Hear ye… announcing the amazing Princess Party, where princess’ unite.

This past Saturday, Maggie spent 2 hours with 100 little princess, and their moms… I mean Queens. Trinity did a great job and put on a wonderful event for all the little girls that are part of the children’s ministry. It was done so well and of course was so sweet and beautiful! We were asked to be the photographers and capture the event and do a photobooth. Each princess left with her own personal picture to take home. Here are the pictures from the day!
