Tourist City

The best part about traveling the country is being a tourist.  I LOVE doing all the cheesy touristy activities along with the 'I don't know where we are or what that is' kind of situation.
So I vowed to myself when I moved back, I would be a tourist in my own backyard.  Working for the Maryland Film Office for four years and scouting what seems like every cool place in the State, I'm excited to explore DC and VA.  What better way to begin than with the infamous (not just famous, INfamous) cherry blossoms...
(I took these over a week ago, but my portrait pics take priority)

Is this Norman Rockwell or what!

Here are a few more photos from Easter that are just adorable. My father's veterinary clinic is on the farm and the kids LOVE feeding the animals and playing doctor. I can't even stand the cuteness!!

Mary & Dan

I can't believe it!  My little sissy is getting married...awwwww.
The only way I could coerce them into doing some engagement photos was allow them to wear their Minnesota Twins sweatshirts for part of the shoot.  Fun City!

Mike, Catherine & Josie

The Barretts are my very good friends and I look forward to taking their family photographs each year. This year was particularly special, since they just returned to the DC after living in Sydney!  Mike and Cath went overseas around the same time I headed out west.   It is great to all be together again. Love you guys!

Photo Challenge - Silence

The first thing that comes to mind when I think of silence is camping in Utah.  At night, there are no bugs, nothing.  Complete silence and more stars than you can imagine.  
BUT, since I'm no where near Utah, here is another beautiful, quiet moment...
