Blizzard Aftermath

Aside from enjoying some time off from work and getting some housework completed due to the snow, another positive about all of the snow we got were these beautiful icicles. They showed up the morning after Matt shoveled off the deck roof. I've taken photos of the morning noon, and night, and they are so beautiful! We are starting to think we should pull them down so they don't fall or pull down our rain spout, but they are just so pretty, it's hard to decide :)

Hope everyone around MD is recovering from the 2010 blizzard!

2010 Snow

So far, we have survived the snow of 2010. Our cars took an hour each to shovel out yesterday. And the roads are still covered in inches of packed down snow. It's pretty amazing to see how many cars are actually trying to drive today! Ruger is loving all of this snow. He loves climbing to the top of the snow piles and eating snowballs!

Hope everyone is staying warm and safe! Lookout for more of this on Tuesday & Wednesday!

Jackson's Senior Photos

This past weekend, I spent some time with a great family in downtown Ellicott City taking photos of Jackson, a senior in high school, who will be graduating this spring, and his two brothers. We started at their house, taking some "formal" photos for Jackson's school yearbook, and then headed out for some more fun photos in casual clothes.

I really enjoyed spending time with the family, and loved photographing in a new location! Congrats Jackson on your upcoming graduation! It was great to meet you all!!! :)

Craig & Christine's Engagement Images

Christine & Craig are getting married this fall, and we got together for some engagement photos this past weekend. I'm so excited for the photos-We had great weather (for a winter day!) and we found some awesome spots to take photos. I loved how they brought their Ravens jerseys along for a few photos too :)

Hope you guys love the photos. Can't wait until your wedding!!!

Christine & Craig ~Engagement Preview!

Yesterday, I spent the afternoon with a great couple, Christine & Craig, taking their engagement photos. It was an amazingly beautiful winter day, and we got some amazing photos. This is one of the last photos we took-first photo I've ever taken in a rail car! I just had to post a preview photo of their session. More to come later this week! :)

Ruger!

Not that he wanted it, but Ruger had his first "real" photo shoot this weekend. I brought out my nice camera and took some shots of him hanging out at my parents house and surrounding areas. I just couldn't resist his sweet puppy faces in these photos and had to share! He is such a joy to have in our home. It's quite a challenge to get photos of an active little puppy, but I think I might really enjoy pet photography now! :)

Christmas 2009

Wow, it's been forever since I've posted anything to my blog. Sorry for being so absent! Recently, I've been pretty busy, because Matt & I adopted a puppy! We drove all the way to South Carolina to pick up our little chocolate lab boy, who we named Ruger. He has been such a perfect pup for us. We're so thankful that we got to pick him up from the shelter early so he could spend Christmas with us & our family. I'm sure I'll be posting many more photos of him, but for now, here's the first "family photo" of us right after we met him!
Happy holidays to all, and Happy New Year!
