White House in the Snow

Yesterday I had the privilege of touring the White House all decked out for the holidays. While I had been looking forward to the tour all week, the snow made the visit even more special. I decided not to push my luck and left my main cameras at home, however I did bring my point and shoot. Below are a few of my favorite images.

Beth and Jeff - ThorpeWood, Md Wedding

Jeff proposed to Beth in a patch of yellow lady slippers on their annual hike to see the large flowered trillium that grow along a spot on the Appalachian Trail on the top of the Blue Ridge. Nature is a priority of both Beth and Jeff, so it was natural for them to chose the lovely ThorpeWood in the Catoctin Mountains north of Frederick, Maryland for both their ceremony and reception. Aurora Celtic provided music.

On the first of November we still had a hint of fall foliage and the sun came out just in time for the ceremony. The farm’s horses came right over afterwards to celebrate with the couple!

Sample Album is Here

We are thrilled to move into 2010 with several brand new vendors. We just received our sample album from Finao and are blown away. Hopefully you will be too! Contact us now to schedule an appointment to view our latest offerings.

Each custom album arrives wrapped in handmade paper crafted from recycled pineapple and mulberry leaves.

Our sample album features an armour cover, the photo is printed directly on metal. While standard leather covers are available, we think armour is stunning. The photographs don't do it justice.

Flushmount pages feature photographs printed to the very edge of the page. Each spread of our lay flat albums spans both pages, with no visible seam.

Tommy and Izzy - Fall Mini Session, Gaithersburg, Md

Tommy and Izzy had a great time at their mini-session. Izzy enjoyed some time with her dad and Tommy played amongst the trees.

 

Six O'Clock Scramble - Cookbook Author Portrait

Aviva Goldfarb is the author of the Six O'Clock Scramble, a fantastic online weekly menu planner and cookbook. Aviva is a true advocate for making food sources healthier and safer for families and the environment while saving time and money along the way.

I have immensely enjoyed receiving her weekly newsletter, which comes complete with a grocery list of all the ingredients I’ll need. I get stuck in a rut cooking the same things over and over (just ask my husband!) so I appreciate her fresh outlook and endless ideas. The recipes Aviva dreams up are delicious.

With a new cookbook scheduled for release in 2010, Aviva needed some fresh portraits. Aviva’s passion for food and the environment led us to shoot in a beautiful park across the street from her home, where we were even visited by a buck during our shoot.
