One of my best friends from college is having a baby. Her sister graciously asked me to help host a baby shower this month in honor of the new arrival and I was delighted to be a part of it. The shower was all about storybooks, and the food was even inspired by tales like

Courtney and Mike asked me to take their engagement photos early this year. It was still technically winter in D.C. and the Cherry Blossoms weren’t quite in bloom yet, but we managed to chose a day when the weather was behaving and I think we got a few really great shots. Courtney and Mike (and
Taking Julia’s senior pics really made me nostalgic! I miss those worry-free days!
