A Baptism Day

After having creating the video album for this couple 2 years ago for their wedding, we had the pleasure of doing both photography and video for their first child's baptism day. The beautiful Greek Orthodox ceremony was followed by a studio sitting to capture the adorable toddler in her finery. We followed up with a LifeBrush for the family's wall. The images above include some close-ups of the LifeBrush painting to show detailed brush-strokes. Overall, wonderful day with a lovely family.

LifeBrush on the Beach

Love this very dynamic shot of my brother with his girlfriend. Taken with a beach-friendly point-and-shoot, not the best quality or color. Sent it through some filters and did some adjustments to get the richer version you see at the top. Then painted the below image for them as a gift - extra brushy. Love the final result. We got this one printed on a canvas gallery wrap.

Jessica and Eamon tie the knot in Westminster Hall, Baltimore

Jessica and Eamon tied the knot today at the historic Westminster Hall in Baltimore, MD. What a thoughtful couple! They arranged for a guide to make the historic catacombs accessible, and even prepared a guided tour. Thank you for the opportunity to capture your special day! Congratulations on the start of your new lives together!

Two Dreams

Can you believe these adorable little ballerinas? I love the tu-tus and minxy smiles that go with them. What a fun shoot with a family that's up for anything! I am currently working on a LifeBrush painting for one of the fantasy images. More on that soon.

And they found each other...

Katrina and Michael wed this past Saturday in a lovely ceremony we were happy to video tape. With a charming minister that brought chuckles and tears to their guests with his heartfelt homily, we look forward to editing the footage into a completed video for them. We are so glad these two found each other.

1 is a wonderful number

Dear little Vallery turned 1-year-old this week! I was invited to capture this thought-filled toddler to commemorate and record her in this moment. Mom and big brother Daniel joined Vallery for her feature shoot to increase the fun and comfort. Daniel spontaneously started kissing his sister on the head during one of our sets. Little boys are priceless! I especially like the profile with the thumb. Sure we captured those smiles, too, but the thumb shot's seriousness really seems to highlight who Vallery is at this beautiful age. Happy Birthday, sweet girl!

Love for Two, Under One

This couple had such love for each other, and clearly for God as well. Julie Anne and Matthew made their vows to each other and to God through solemn promises and song. We really enjoyed the spirituality of this couple's ceremony in a quaint victorian church setting. We loved every detail down to her antiqued lace parasol.
