Check out the new District Bride Guide, a wonderful resource for local brides planning your wedding in the MD/DC/VA area! One of the bloggers there, posted my most recent wedding in Baltimore at the 1840’s ballroom today. Go on and check it out for yourself, and while you’re at take a look at some of their other eye candy and DIY inspiration!
We will continue regularly scheduled blogging next week but for now I’m still hustling Marathon Boudoir and Crash Course workshop slots!
First, Marathon Boudoir, I have one slot left for a 4:00pm arrival on 7/31. If you want to snatch it up, email shelby@shelbyleigh.com!
I have a couple more slots to go before I meet the minimum to hold the workshop… have to reach this by TOMORROW! So excited about it, the signups already have some great questions!
You can now register a slot for the crash course photography workshop on July 31!
One of my couples had to switch their date so I am available 10/2/2010 and I’d love to refill that date, so pass it along if you know anyone getting married 10/2/2010!!!
“11. Visit Europe for leisure.” “16. Go on a cruise.”
I killed two birds with one stone! This was by far the best vacation I’ve ever taken. Italy, Venice specifically, was definitely one of my top “I want to go there!” places, but I never planned to go there anytime soon. It’s impossible for me to ever plan to do anything, for all I know I could wake up a millionaire tomorrow morning, thats how things seem to happen. I think I’m doing one thing another day and the next I’m doing something else, something better!
Enjoy our video documenting all the beautiful places we got to go!

I know this is suppose to be a painful yawn fest to have to see other peoples vacations photos and now with things like Facebook we are sometimes forced to without even being asked. So unless you’re already friends with me on facebook and saw my vacation video, I will be posting it here tomorrow! I tried to make it as painless to watch as possible.
What happened to the 25 votes I got for interest in a beginner learning workshop on my latest poll? I’ve only gotten a couple of emails about a potential workshop since yesterday for Aug 1 and I need more takers in order to make it happen. So if you’re really interested this. is. it. :o)
Lastly, I havent had a Marathon Portrait session in a while and I’ll probably be setting something up next month. Just in time for the holidays! I know you think I’m crazy, but trust me.
Got my latest issue of The Knot MD/DC/VA and guess who’s photos appear in not 1 but 5 pages of wedding goodness? Very happy to see Ann-Marie + Tom’s wedding featured as a real wedding! Want to see their blog post, click here.
On another note, if you are interested in participating in an small “workshop” geared towards parents with cameras/ beginner photographers/people who want to learn how to use their SLR/people who like to shoot kids on Aug 1 in DC for around $100 email me at shelby@shelbyleigh.com or since that email can be fritzy shelbyleighphoto@gmail.com

I photographed baby “R”’s third session in the Year in the Life of Baby just before I left for my trip. Since she turns one this month, it was a birthday themed session, complete with balloons and cake! Love it!
