Caitlyn is 1
Feb 21, 2011
This is Caitlyn and she recently turned 1. There is a joy around her as she explores her world and also an infectious sense of humor. Caitlyn was ready.... set......gooooooo! Caitlyn is a busy little bee, so I was bobbing and weaving to get the shot. I can honestly say that enjoyed every minute with this family. It is such a treat to spend time with a family who obviously cherishes, the gift, of their child. And it is thrilling to be photographing families in Virginia :)
Don't you love the innocent look on her face. :)
I can honestly say that the world is a better place with Caitlyn in it. She is a beautiful little lady!

This was to good to pass by. I just wish I would have thought of it. Sick, I know-BUT FUNNY!!!
Blink less
Feb 17, 2011
*****Don't blink *****I am starting to think that I shouldn't blink because I am worried about what I will miss. My baby has turned into a walking boy and my little boy has turned into a little man. I spend my time as a photographer (and as a Mom) encouraging people to take pictures, so they will remember the precious moments. And the past 6 months have been so busy that I found myself not taking many pictures. (Granted, I still took a lot but not as many as I would have liked). It is so nice to look back on the days we have lived and the experiences that have shaped us.
Life gets busy. Well, ok I will be honest. Life gets chaotic. Every moment is filled with something and there aren't many "free" moments. I am learning, that I HAVE to make time for the things that are important. We recently got a digital picture frame that sits on our dining room table and we enjoy looking at the pictures SO MUCH! I have taken pictures of the good times, the bad times and the extremely honest times of parenthood. Not to mention the pictures of Trav and I before we were parents. I am glad that I have proof of that life :) We sit there as a family and laugh at them, have the opportunity to talk about the lessons learned, count our blessings, remember our friends that are far away and relive all our our adventures.
I would encourage Mom's to take more pictures and if you would like me to help. I am here :) (Shameless plug) I am happy to say that I am licensed and ready to do business in the Great State of Virginia. And I am ready! It is important for the Mom to be in the pictures and not always taking them. It is nice to remember us mothering our children. Not smothering but mothering :)
About Me, Kat
I have always been drawn to the camera. Photography is such an interesting blend of technical know how and capturing heart felt emotion.
The challenge is to flawlessly do both, in a split second before the moment passes.
Everyday and every moment is an opportunity to learn to live and shoot better.
