The 'W' Family

I love this family ... such warm and caring folks. I can't wait to meet their new bundal of joy ...

The Count Down ...

This pretty lady is a dear friend of mine ... her and her fantastic husband are some of the nicest people you'll ever meet - I truly mean that! When this beautiful baby arrives into this world - there is no doubt in my mind - that he'll be welcomed into a truly loving family.

Miss E and Master G

This duo is about to become a trio ... they are expecting a baby brother to arrive any day now! I can't wait to meet the new baby - I just know that he'll be as fantastic as his big brother and sister.

Week 17 - Project 365

PROJECT 365 - A PHOTO A DAY FOR A FULL YEAR

Day 113- While playing outside today - the girls found this little nest up in a tree.

Day 114 - Sometimes you just have to look over your shoulder and beauty is right there! The evening view from my back deck ...

Day 115- Flight 81 arrived safely into BWI ... we're thankful that Grammy and Uncle T are here to help us celebrate Thanksgiving.

Day 116 - Our Thanksgiving bouquet.

Day 117 - Happy Thanksgiving 2010 ...

Day 118 - How nice to hear a story on the news this morning that had a happy ending. 3 teens found alive after being lost at sea for 50 days ... what a miraculous story of survival!

Day 119 - We braved the cold and visited the National Harbor in P.G. County Maryland. The lights and sights were quite beautiful (15 degrees warmer would have been nice though).

Grandchildren

Three fantastic families came together to do a special holiday gift for the grandparents. I really enjoyed to this crew of cousins (ages 10 years to 8 months old) ... everyone did a fantastic job!

Celebrating 50 Years Together ...

When a surprise party is to honor 50 Years of Marriage - how can the afternoon not be fantastic. Family and friends - near and far - traveled to the Officer's Club at Fort Myers, Virginia to surprised this beautiful couple. I had a great time and by the end of the afternoon I felt like part of the family ...

PROJECT 365 - A PHOTO A DAY FOR A FULL YEAR

Day 106 - We're back after a beautiful weekend at the beach ... the salt air is always good for my soul.

Day 107 - It's hard to believe that I still have flowers blooming.

Day 108 - And then there was one ...

Day 109 - It was International Night at our elementary school. The highlight for my girls ... the bindi's from India (they went to bed still wearing them).

Day 110 - I missed the street that I was suppose to turn on and had to turn my car around in the parking lot of St. Francis of Assisi church ... I knew at once that I had my photo.

Day 111 - There is nothing like a tree swing to bring back childhood memories. I have admired this one for quite a while and I finally got the nerve to ask the owners if I could photograph it.

Day 112 - On my way home from a morning shoot I stopped by Roots to pick up a few things. The store front billboards are simply fantastic!

CastleHill Farm

Part of our weekend adventure while visiting Connecticut was a trip to CastleHill Farm. We all had fun in the corn maize - the views were incredible - and the farm yard animals were a favorite of all.

Creepy . . .

I thought that I should get a few of my Halloween pictures posted before Thanksgiving arrives. We all had a lot of fun on Main Street in Newtown, CT.

A Walk in the Woods

What a glorious day! We took a walk in the woods that are just across the street from my in-laws house in Connecticut. It was the perfect day for a walk - we couldn't have asked for better.

Week 15 - Project 365

Day 99 - This was painted for my daughter's 3rd birthday by my mother-in-law. All of her grandchildren now have an 'orginial Sims' as she says.

Day 100 - Wow! I can't believe that it's day 100. This was my view from the bus stop this afternoon - the evening sun was hitting the trees just right (thanks Day Light Savings Time).

Day 101 - Portugal: Nine Months of Winter and Three of Hell.

- Joao Pedro Marnoto

Breathing taking images from Road Show Projections in honor of FotoWeek DC.

Day 102 - I took Nat on a nature walk with afternoon and I found my picture. I almost missed it because this guys are very small - about the size of a thimble. I love pine cones - for some reason I always think of my Grandma Kerby when I see one.

Day 103 - Thank you to all the service men and women - then, now and tomorrow - my heart is truly grateful. Happy Veteran's Day 2010

Day 104 - I was having fun with a little night time photography. Our remaining leaves are even beautiful in the dark.

Day 105 - 'Touch Tanks' are the best. Everyone in my family (including me) loves to roll up our sleeves and explore.

Beautiful Baby - Part 2

My session with this precious little beauty was a lot of fun - one tends to forget how small a 15 day old can be. My wish for this new family is that they have a life time together that is full of love and laughter. Welcome to the world little Miss A ...

Beautiful Baby - Part 1

I met this loving couple in September and just a few weeks later they welcomed their beautiful baby girl into the world. It was truly an honor being invited back into their home and seeing them together as a family.
