Moving To Monterey California!

Well, the studio is packed, shipped and waiting for us in Monterey, California. The studio will be closed until the spring so that I can get my family settled. I will be coming back to the DC area for exclusive family and children's sessions in March and June so please be on the look-out for an email from me with details on how to book your session.  If you need to place an order or get in touch with me about an order please email me and I will respond as soon as I can.  

 Happy Holidays!

The L Family 2009!

I spent the morning with L family of Chevy Chase MD.  They are an active bunch and we wanted to capture them just being them!!

and baby (will) make 5 !

The M family was the high bidder of a family session and complimentary 8x10 at the Spring Knolls Cooperative Early Learning Center. My son Harry went to this pre-school and we loved it. I was thrilled to be a part of their auction again this year and to have the chance to meet this beautiful family. Stay tuned because their newborn session is right around the corner!

oh baby - 7 months!

I had such a great 7 month session with Isabella.  She was pushing up and and I just know that she will be crawling all over the place the next time that I see her!  That will be an interesting session for sure.  There are so many images that I love from this session and I will put a slide show together when I ave some time.

Keep in mind that all of my images are taken in client's homes.  Many people don't believe that, but I assure you...it can be done!  These 2 images were taken in their living room.

Recent Projects - keeping the Creative Juices Flowing

As everyone knows it's important to "feed the soul" once in a while and also challenge yourself.  I have started 2 new projects in the past months that keep the creative juices flowing.

The first project is the 365 Project .  I am challenging myself to photograph (for myself) every day and keep a daily journal based on the image that I choose.  The only restriction is that I have to actually "interact" with what I am photographing.  You can follow the 365 Project by bookmarking the following site 365 Project .

The second development is that I am now offering a summer camp/workshop for kids ages 10-13.  I am very excited about being able to do this and look forward to sharing my passion of photography (and all the wonderful things that go with it) with kids.  Photography is a wonderful way to teach a multitude of skills and also a good way to get kids to write.  Children are naturally visual and love the interactive nature of creating an image.  Kids also learn to be media savvy when they understand what goes into making the images that they see everyday.  Once you show them what photoshop does they understand that what comes out of the camera is not what goes into a magazine or on a billboard.  A great revelation for a young mind!

You can find more information on the camps/workshops here .

Both of the projects will be influenced by a workshop that I going to at Duke University in May.  Its called Literacy Through Photography and I continue to be fascinated by the work of other photographers who have been involved in the Literacy Through Photography Project.   More information on the Literacy through Photography project can be found on www.creativeclickscamp.com .

Here are some recent photos that i took of my daughter playing guitar.  They are featured in the 365 Project.
