Welcome to the blog!

Have you ever heard the saying “It takes a village to raise a child.”? It sounds like a cliché, I know, but it really is true! As a mom of 2 kids, I’ve experience it firsthand; and I was reminded of that again when I covered this adorable ice cream parlor themed first birthday for K.

How adorable is this tea party themed session done at Cabel’s Mill part of Ellanor C. Lawrence Park in Chantilly? Everything from the little details to R’s outfits were just so sweet!!!

Sidney’s senior session last week at Airlie couldn’t have been more perfect! It was a bit cloudy but we still got some sun that’s enough to give Sidney that beautiful flattering glow! Plus, the air was a little breezy but not too uncomfortably cold.

Christmas is surely my favorite holiday. Growing up in the Philippines, where our Christmas decorations are up & Christmas songs are played as soon as the first day of September hits, I always look forward to this special time of year. The family traditions, the chilly weather, the festive decorations & music, shopping gifts for your loved ones, the fun holiday activities… there’s something about Christmas that just makes me so much happier!

My session with this beautiful family at Bon Air Park 2 weekends ago was nothing short of amazing! This charming park in Arlington, Virginia, although small, has a lot of picturesque spots. And I love the pops of color the beautiful blooms, in the rose garden, added to our family session.

Last August, I had the pleasure of doing a branding session with Khadijah, the owner of Playtime Event Sitters in her office space in Tysons, Virginia. Check out the fun shoot that we had & I’m also sharing the awesome idea behind her business!
