Reem and Naser | Washington, D.C. | One Look

I have to thank Leah Hewitt for putting together this DC safari where a bunch of photographers gather to shoot and also Stefani Chung for inviting me out last weekend. We had two couples to shoot that day and I couldn't wait to post this one look from Reem and Naser.

This photo just takes my breath away! =)

Amy S. | Silver Spring | Bridal Portraits

It's always a shame to wear a wedding dress just for one day, so when I found out that Amy still kept few of hers, it was a great opportunity to put them to good use again in this bridal portrait session. I did a soft bridal makeup on Amy and pulled her hair up to the side into an updo and dress it with a beautiful cream floral accessory. The day was a bit chilly but the sun helped warm up a bit throughout the day.

Baby "I" | Virginia Baby Portraits | One Look

Few weeks ago, I had met up with one of my college friends to take photos of their one month newborn. Baby "I" was just the most adorable baby you've ever seen and for sake of privacy, I am not allowed to post the photos. However, I did get permission to post one look from the session. =)

I'm still working on the rest of the photos bu can't wait to show the parents the rest! =)

Aubrey | Virginia | Portraits

Most people know Aubrey as Fafinettex3 on Youtube. Another beauty guru session that only required me to show up and shoot and if I'm not careful, I could get used to that. =P We started off at a nearby park and just worked our way around the area. I must say the place was gorgeous and definitely need to make a mental note to head back there with hubby.
















The day was gorgeous albeit a bit windy, but Aubrey handled it like a pro. Hoped you all enjoyed the photos! =)
