Hey Spring- stay a while...

Welcome Spring! Now go away Winter! 

My husband, Walid and I found an amazing spot for a picnic when we were biking along the capital crescent trail  which we can hop on in Bethesda, MD. The views are awesome, you definitely don't feel like you are  in DC anymore!The park is called Fletchers Boat House if you want to check it out! 

Here are a few fun shots from our Spring Kickoff Picnic! Aren't these Algerian women beautiful!??

And we can't forget the guys! Or the "Dream-Team" as they prefer to be called...

Welcome Spring - Stay a While! 

Holiday Family Photographs

Take the time out of your busy holiday to relax with your family and friends. Don't worry about the perfect gifts, worry about spending as much time with your family and friends as possible.

I know I am working hard now so I can take a few days off and see my family and friends in Michigan!

Take a load off and check out this adorable family and their Christmas photos!

I really enjoyed taking holiday photos with this adorable family. As you can see, their superstar mom had them color coordinated and looking their cutest! I had a little extra time to spend with their daughter so I let her draw on my chalkboard..what else is it good for anyways?!

The family looked so great I couldn't help snapping lots of pictures! 

Christmas Photo with Dad :) I hate to say it but I think as they grow up he's going to be in trouble!

Just the girls...

And still in love...

Life as a Photographer...In Maryland

So ... it has been a while since I have been on the blogosphere! I have been a busy lady- working 3 jobs, shooting lots and lots of different types of things! Working a school photographer during the school day has been a lot of fun and a great experience for me! While I really wist I could post all the funny photos of the kids...that would just be well...wrong! So instead I would like to show you what I have been up to in the last couple of months!

In August.. I shot a beautiful wedding for a great couple...Christina and Dorian! Here are a few shots of Christina getting ready for the big day...

And another of the happy couple on their wedding day! 

And then...I got engaged!!!

And I have been floating on a cloud ever since! 

And since I cannot show you those school photos, here are a few more photos of what we have been up to...

Great Falls Park, Potomac MD

My fiance gets creative with the tripod: I am thinking of hiring him as my new assistant!

He even takes great portraits :)

We definitely enjoyed our time here...the sounds are so soothing and the views...well- the views!!!

I have one last photo to share with you. This one took quite a bit of effort :) My fiance and I were driving along the George Washington Parkway, on our way from DC to Maryland and as we were driving we passed a photographer on an overlook. I decided, since I had all of my gear- we should follow this photographers lead! We pulled over at the next overlook and walked about a mile to where we had seen the other photographer. 

Here is what we saw! 

Thanks for reading! I hope everyone is having a great fall! 

Too Cute with Twinsies Tutus

Inspired by two of the cutest little girls in the world...And I swear, just because their mommy is my best friend- I am not biased they really are too two cute!

See I told you they are TOO CUTE! 

A couple of weeks ago I called up my best friend Brooke, the creator and owner of Twinsies Tutus to place an order for a custom tutu. My boyfriend's sister was going to visit their family in Algeria and we thought a tutu would be a super fun present for their one year old cousin Sara! She is sure to shine in these adorable colors and fun bows!

Every part of the Tutu is hand tied and hand made with lots of care.

 With a customized colorful "S" onesie and a beautiful rainbow tutu, I am sure Algeria has never seen anything like this before.

Sara is sure to be a real princess :) 

She even sent us a matching handmade headband! 

If you love what you see check out Twinsies Tutus on Facebook   or go straight to browsing ideas for what to order with Etsy!

Thanks for reading everyone! Have a great weekend!
