rossotti family and delicious light….

Posted on July 24, 2011

Yes, it was like the hottest day of the year so far. Yes, we were all alternately sweating and cooling off. Yes, it was rough.

But, OMG, just look at the result?!

Baby L was just a doll. A stoic doll (ha ha!) but a doll nonetheless. She is just a couple of weeks younger than Nadia, and it was so fun to see so many similar traits that seem to be pretty standard at 8 months of age.

The light, the family, the smile and laughter and the beach…. wow. Obviously they all amounted to an equation of near perfection! It was such a pleasure to meet you all, Rossotti family and help document this special time in your lives!

Grace is another neighbor who has become a good friend in such a short amount of time! We go to the same church (25 minutes north of here). And now John and I are attending a small Bible study group at her house in the neighborhood. Her husband’s name is John, too. And her son, Jeremiah, is already a neighborhood favorite of my girls! And they are raising backyard chickens. We are definitely meant to be friends. :)

When I first walked into Grace’s house, I was seriously AMAZED by her incredible interior painting/design work. WOW! It is truly a work of art and something I haven’t ever seen before (and i have seen some awesome, creatively designed spaces). When she mentioned that she was working on getting her website updated and was wanting to document her most recent work, I was ALL over it. Oh and yes, she has been featured on HGTV. :) I just think that is too cool. Oh and please, PLEASE, check out her “Ode or Faux Finish” at the bottom of her “Information” page here. It’s awesome.

I love photographing creative works of art, and LOVE promoting friends’ businesses that I am truly 100% behind and 100% impressed with. And I love that she is “local” and I can highly recommend her work to the awesome local neighborhood listserves and networks in this area.

If you live in the MD,VA,DC area (or even NY and PA)…. and you are wanting something new, fresh, original, memorable done in your house, contact Grace. A mural? A completely original and modern wall treatment? Consultation? Contact Grace!

 





Ollie & Company

Meet Ollie. There are just no words to adequately describe his cuteness. And I have to say, he was one of THE best 9 week old models I have ever seen. All smiles and looks of pure wonder and cuteness. His parents and grandparents weren’t too bad themselves! :)

Karla contacted me just a week ago saying a neighbor had recommended me as a potential photographer. (shout out to Stacy the neighbor!!!) And it turns out that we are all practically neighbors. I love this place. I love the connections I make around here… at the park, on a neighborhood email listserve, via neighbors. I love that so many of my clients live literally within a 2 mile radius of me right now. :) Way to shop local, friends! :)

I love that Karla and Logan worked in some very sentimental and fun “props” to make the shoot even more memorable and personal. Not only are these images touching and nostalgic now, but in 10-15 years they will be simply priceless.

Without further adieu…..
