baby isaac

It is always so special to meet friends' new babies. And today was no exception. I loved meeting little Isaac! He is so alert and loves to look around and tries real hard to focus his little eyes. Welcome to the world sweet boy!

California Dreaming

I've been in California this past week and thought I'd share some of the lovely images I got there. My two favorite stops was the beach at Santa Monica (just look at those sunsets!) and a foggy day in Sonoma - the mountains were so mystical with the fog swirling around them.

Family Session in the Mountains

One day last weekend I drove up to the mountains and met one of the kindest, sweetest families ever. Since everyone was in town for Thanksgiving, it was the perfect time to get some fun family shots. I learned a lot about the Boston Red Socks, English bull dogs and windy country roads!

Family Session :: Nolan at 3 Months

Nolan is getting bigger since the last time I saw him! He's put on some adorable weight, smiles, holds his head up and loves to look at his mom and dad. This is one seriously cute, well-behaved baby!

Josh and Amy: Married!

I was thrilled to shoot a wedding with Meghan from Meghan Lynn Photography last weekend in Columbia, MD. It was so fun to capture the fun and the love of Amy and Josh with their family and friends!

Why "Red Shoes" Photography?

Since I started this venture, people have asked me, why "Red Shoes"? "What is with the name?" "How did you come up with that?" Well, red shoes just make me happy.

I always say, if you wear red shoes, you can't have a bad day!

They make me feel prettier, and more confident in everyday life. That is the way I want my clients to feel. Like they are wearing red shoes.

If you don't have a pair of red shoes, I suggest getting a pair. They will change your life. And please send me a photo of you wearing them!

They have a boarding school in Bangalore as well as an outreach program for children who do not attend the school. The Gala evening at the Carnegie Institution was filled with delicious foods, beautiful dancing and amazing stories.

Amy and Justin - Engaged!

Justin approached me a few weeks ago to do an engagement session with him and his girlfriend Amy. The catch? He'd also be proposing! to Amy during the shoot. So, armed with a zoom lens and hiding behind the columns of the Arboretum, I snapped some shots of their sweet picnic of Chinese take out and then the moment when he got down on one knee and presented Amy with a stunning ring. We then had a lot of fun taking some darling photos as Justin recounted the tales of all that had led up to this moment. So fun!
