I want to be able to look back at pictures of J and I when we are old and think  “Damn, we were hot!”. I know I remember looking through old photographs of my Grandmother and thinking “Wow, she was so pretty when she was young”. When I’m 80, I want my grandchildren to know what I looked like at 28. Far too often we don’t have any pictures of us as a couple but rather us as a family. So, I wanted to make sure we documented our love through the years. One of our close friends, Jennifer, from Tiptoe Studios was kind of enough to oblige. And let me tell you just how much I love these photos….L.O.V.E. love love love them. They are exactly what I wanted and needed. I cannot thank her enough.

Now, on with the pictures.

I am forever grateful for my clients and their referrals. It is after all how I meet most of my clients. I am forever indebted to all of you. Tim and Kristi were no exception and I knew right away we had a connection. Tim and Kristi were married at Thorpewood in May. Thorpewood is a great location near Thurmont. If you are planning a summer wedding when the weather tends to be HOT, Thorpewood is a great place. It is located in a little pocket of cool air in the mountains/woods.

I met up with Kristi at Thorpewood just in time to capture her putting her dress on.

Corset backs always make outstanding picture moments.

Meet Tinkerbell, the ring bearer and Tim and Kristi’s first born.

I have not seen these before but I LOVE them. They served dual purpose as walkway lighting at the reception.

I love this part. Tim, your expression says it all.

Melt my heart. Melt my heart.

Kristi, you’re smile lights up a southern sky.

The pine cone Cathedral is an amazing location for a ceremony. Seats made out of trees cut in half. Shade of the pine trees. Its perfect.

Thorpewood’s lodge is very rustic and full of texture and charm.

Bring it girls!

Gah-gah-gorgeous.

that color. Apple slice. you are welcome.

Poor little guy. he was exhausted.

Kristi, being crafty, painted the design these hurricanes. So clever.

Everyone rally around the bride and groom.

A lovely ending to a lovely day. Congratulations you two. you know you are more than clients. You are friends even if it is only on Facebook in between photo shoots. I look forward to capturing many more memorable moments in your lives.  Much love friends.

Meet Hayden, 3. She is a little miracle baby.

Meet Mommy and Daddy, Becca and Matt. Becca is Jess’s sister. Mat and Becca are both Frederick city police officers.

Gah! Those lashes!

and those BIG, beautiful eyes!

Favorite!

Beautiful couple. I have not photographed them since their wedding in 2009.

another Favorite! yes, another. I’m allowed.

I am totally going to do this story no justice, but I will try. Hayden was born VERY premature. And as you may know the March of Dimes is an organization founded on helping premature babies. Becca’s tatoo is a memorial to her daughter and the ribbon on the bird is the March of Dimes ribbon. See, I did it no justice.

Favorite. Yep, #3.

And favorite #4. Love it to the moon.

Much love friends,

Robin

Tim, Jess and I go way back…like back to junior high school. We are still good friends and every year usually over a play date or dinner Jess says “I need to get on your calendar!”. Sure thing beautiful momma. Then, Jess proceeds to dance around with an ear to ear smile for the next month until her session date has come.  hehe

Meet Aubrey. She is Vivian’s bestest buddy. So cool that our little girls are only 6 weeks apart in age.

Jess said she wanted colorful! I think she got it! I love it.

Hello, gorgeous.

You two are the cutest. This image says “L.O.V.E”.

Hello, handsome.

Such a beautiful little family.

Kylee loves modeling for me. And I love taking her picture.

Sisters!

Future tumbler for sure.

Watch out, Daddy. She is going to be a heart breaker.

Jess, you are beautiful. I think I tell you this every time I take your pictures but it bears repeating.

Love you!! Miss you bunches! Mwah! Smooch! Cannot wait to see you on Sunday!

Much Love,

Robin, Jason and V!

I know I am HORRIBLE about regular blogging.  So, here’s to making new goals and STICKING  to them! Truth is I was blogging last night when my computer went crazy on me. Thank goodness for the Geek Squad. I am now good to go back to blogging away tonight. For now, here are some things you may not know about me or care to know for that matter.

I was a ballet dancer.

I like to pick my boogers. They feel gross in my nose.

I like the soreness after a good workout.

I sing very loud everyday on my way from work. It’s therapeutic.

I am mostly gluten free.

I am the youngest of 3 girls.

I am terrible about returning phone calls but text or email anytime. Sigh.

My husband calls me a tree hugging hippie and I like it.

I laughed so hard once that I peed my  pants.

I am a stickler for recycling, cloth bags, cloth diapers, organic everything and conserving.

I believe in standing up for yourself. And if not, then shut up and stop complaining.

Happy Friday!

Check me out on Facebook for more constant updates.

Baby Carl, as he is referred to at least by me, is a teeny weeny little bundle of perfection. The first weeks come and go so quickly and babies change so fast. I had to capture his itty bitty stage.

I think he is saying “please no pictures. your camera is noisy.”

Streeeeeettttchhhh….

Cousins Vivian kisses. and for those wondering. No, I don’t want another….yet. If anything, this made me not want another for a long while. I don’t know how you momma’s do it.

that is definitely a Baby Carl smile.

The many faces of Baby Carl.

Froggy

The tender moments with mom.

Love you Baby Carl! Kisses!
