:: woolly hats + the one-eyed monster | washington dc portrait photographer ::

FINALLY...sparkling sunshine is back after what felt like weeks of dreary, spitting rain. With temps in the 50s, O + C2 decided they wanted to break-in their new woolly hats. C1, on the other hand, chased them around the block as the "One-Eyed Monster" (ha! the irony cracks me up!) in his Monster Republic hoody. Moooooooore sparkling sunshine, please!

I love fall. I love everything about it -- the sky, the air, the smell, Halloween... It is by far my favorite season. During this wonderfully autumnal weekend, I had the pleasure of spending some time with the beautiful M Family. Such a fun shoot -- H + A-J are so full-of-life and photogenic (not to mention their parents!) that they made my job EASY! Thank you M Family! Here is a preview of that shoot with more to come:

Big brother, H



Little sister, A-J

:: 10 years ago | 911 tribute ::

I can't believe the news today,
I can't close my eyes and make it go away.
How long, how long must we sing this song?
How long? Tonight we can be as one.
Broken bottles under children's feet,
Bodies strewn across a dead end street,
But I won't heed the battle call,
It puts my back up, puts my back up against the wall.

Some people do yoga. Some people do pilates. Some people meditate. How do I achieve inner peace? I PHOTOSHOP. Throw in a little old-school Leonard Cohen and I'm practically in a trance. To prepare for a busy, creative weekend ahead, I played around with these:

Regular, I guess.

Mermaid.



Milk.



Cinnamon Luxe.
