I will be out of the office and on vacation Sunday the 28th-Sunday, July 5th. I will reply to all emails and voice-mails when I return. I have several weddings and engagement sessions to blog also so hopefully I will get some of that done soon.

I took some adorable pics of Pancakes the other day and have to share them. She just got a haircut and they gave her a pink bandana. so girly…so cute.

her favorite thing is to drink water out of the hose after walks…

she basically attacks the water..

ahhh, the dog days of summer

oh, and here’s a quick pic of one of our hydrangeas…just because it’s pretty.

Happy SUMMER!!!!

Carrie and Pat are the sweetest most in love couple. I am so looking forward to sharing their wedding day and capturing all the special moments. They have started their lives together in South Riding, which is very important to them, so that is where we took the photos. We traipsed all around the neighborhood and had a lot of fun! I’m very excited for them to see these photos. Enjoy!

just chillin on the back deck of their house, reading….feet entangled. it’s their normal scene, which makes me smile

look at the hair fly!

my fave of the day

i love tall weeds, especially when my couples will lay in them!

after a quick outfit change we headed back out before the sun…er, clouds, went down.

they both have big smiles and awesome blue eyes!

I can’t wait for the wedding in July!

Liz and Ling were married May 23rd at the lovely Ceresville Mansion in Frederick, MD. This was my first time back in many years so I was very excited to return, and even more excited when I saw how beautiful the day was. We were blessed with perfect weather for an outdoor ceremony, and I was blessed with a gorgeous bride and groom! Liz looked like a rockstar, you couldn’t even tell she was fighting a bad cold the whole week before the wedding! I had such a good time at this wedding, thanks to all the vendors who made it perfect!

the sky couldn’t have been more perfect!
