In continuation of my last post, here is baby “j’s” 1 year session that we photographed at the Air and Space Museum in Virginia. This is the last session in his Year in the Life of Baby plan, where we documented his first year of life. For the full effect, I’ll post 1 photo from each of his previous sessions before I continue with his 1 year session highlights!

I know it makes us all a little sick that they start playing Christmas music in the stores a day after Halloween and I realize its way too early to be talk about the Holidays but I want to give everyone a sneak peak of what I’m offering this year! I have already gotten a start to my shopping, as years past I have made the mistake of waiting till the last minutes, waiting in lines, having everything sold out and stressing out more then need be! Come black Friday, I will be asleep in my bed, or avoiding stores at all cost because I already checked everyone off my list! Will you?

I have a Marathon Boudoir Slot open for 11/13 due to cancellation, this is a no make up slot! Email me to reserve it ASAP!CLICK HERE FOR DETAILS 

The “+’s” of shooting an the whole weekend- no food, little sleep, LOTS of moving and ninja moves= -2 pounds on the scale. The “-’s” are no food, little sleep and hurt body= look/feel like I’ve been shooting all weekend! And I get to do it again tomorrow and all this weekend and the next and the next! At this rate I’ll be at my goal weight in no time!

One session I shot this weekend was Melissa and Ryan’s engagements, they are having a destination wedding in 09′- *so jealous*! They love Annapolis so we went downtown and took the usual route, no matter how many times I take my same route everyones photos still seem to be unique!

Ease them in with some head shots

Would you believe this WASN’T my idea?

BAM

We usually change clothes in this bookstore, I’ve always wanted to ask someone to pose in it, finally did! Love it!

“45. Make 5 people i know watch The Secret, whether they like it or not. (5/5)”

I looked over my 101 in 1001 list today to see what I could try to accomplish and realized I had already done this one. I made 3 friends and 2 family members watch “The Secret”…so far!

So what is “The Secret”? Its a movie and a book (I’ve only watched the movie…many many times) but not like a novel book, more like a self help documentary style movie. Some people get it and some people think I should be sent to the looney bin. I will grant them that the movie is a little over the top and can seem a little strange at times but if you skip over the bad acted scenes and just listen to the speakers it can be life changing.

I’m not going to go into detail and butcher the whole secret so just rent it and watch it. You can buy it here, on amazon.com!

And since I have to take a photo of every completed task, here we are at the beach together putting on our cheesiest vacation smiles thanks to photobooth.  :o)
