Trip to Washington

April 22, 2009

This past weekend we had the opportunity to visit Washington D.C. and had a beautiful couple of days. We had a great time and stayed with a childhood friend of Lindsay’s. Come to find out she works in the wedding industry as well. Her name is Shannon and she does calligraphy and invitations, her work can be seen here: http://calligraphybyshannon.blogspot.com/.

We took lots of pictures while we were there but my favorites weren’t of all the monuments and buildings, although those are great looking. I liked all the “stuff” from around the city. And I have a thing for fire hydrants so look for a post or continuing posts of those in the future.

Tulips of all colors were all over the city, absolutely stunning:

Our First Kiss

April 15, 2009

I finally took pictures of our brand new album. KISS wedding books did a remarkable job on our very first album and we can’t wait to work with them more! So look through these pictures and see the quality and awesomeness of these books.

Barbrow Family

April 13, 2009

Many weeks ago we traveled to the house of the Barbrow’s to photograph the newest addition to their family. The funniest part of this post is that in just a couple weeks we are going to do another portrait session to update the growth of little Noah. Lindsay shot this whole session while I held a reflector to add some light into the scene.

The cat wanted to see what was happening but lost interest and became jealous.

Disapperances and voila

April 6, 2009

Many of you may be wondering where on earth did we go. For about 4 weeks we were successful at posting 3 times per week then on March 18th it ended. It is not that I don’t have a lot to post but I just haven’t made it my priority. So here is a post to get my mind back in the blogging mood.

To update you on the busyness that we call life, recently Lindsay and I have bought a new car, finished up a 13-week Total Money Makeover program by the great Dave Ramsey, and continued to photograph with our new camera. I would recommend any of those three things but I would mostly recommend the Ramsey program. We have learned so many wonderful things from that class that I cannot begin to thank Dave enough. My favorite lesson came last night, the last lesson of the series. It was all about giving. I want to become a better giver!

So here is what I am going to do (my wife doesn’t even know about this but she will when she reads this) I want to offer a free family session to someone who really could use it. If you know someone in the Philadelphia area who could really use a free family portrait session, that will include prints, please leave a comment here. If you don’t know someone personally but know people from this area please pass this post along. I am really looking forward to this opportunity and I encourage everyone to give to someone who has less than you. Whether it is money, time, or a service this world needs to see the love of God through others.

In the next couple of weeks some of the new posts will include: pictures of our new album, pictures of our new car, two baby/family sessions, and much more. Have a great Monday!
