Um, yes please! Thank you to the lovely and courageous Jennifer and Steve for humoring our ideas today. My dear friend and colleague Elizabeth Leighton and I had a BLAST photographing this trash the dress session. The ending could not be more perfect. We all got soaked in the Potomac River, but it was well worth it. I am on a photography high today. (sigh) This is the kind of shoot that makes my day. My week. My year.

Thank You Cards from Wedding Paper Divas

Welcome to my new blog. After moving to Virginia and having several colleagues hound me about getting a blog, I’ve finally caved. Here we are! I’ve always been afraid I wouldn’t have something witty or inspirational to say, so I guess I’ll just say whatever is on my mind on any given day.

It’s hard to believe we’ve been here 4 months already. The humidity was a bit of a bear in the beginning and when the weather started to drop in temperature, I realized very quickly that I wasn’t going to get by on my flip-flops and t-shirts anymore. Hellooooo wake up call! It’s taken Mike (my husband) a bit of getting used to as well. Last week he turned his windshield fluid on to clean his windshield, only to have it turn into a sheet of ice on him. The next day I went to use the wipers (mentally trying not to do what Mike had done the day before), and what do you know? I hit the windshield fluid by accident. While driving. Oops. Yeah, that was a little nerve-wracking. It’s so mortifying to be so naive about such things. We have 3 years to get our act together. My kids are geeked out by the grass turning to ice. So much so that we’ve caught them jumping up and down on the frozen tundra. “Psssssst… you’re making it painfully obvious that we’re from California. Cut it out!” I’m excited that all the museums in D.C. are free. FREE!!! I like free. Especially when I’m trying to find things to keep my 4 kids entertained. This will be the first Christmas where we won’t be basking in 75-85 degree Southern California weather. At first I was bummed out about it. But if it snows, that would make my kids pretty darn happy. And that’s gift enough for me.
