Family Portraits in Washington D.C.- Matthew
Matthew turned 6-months old when I took his photo the other day, and for his trouble he got a camera in his face. Well, he did marvelously despite not having a nap. He smiled just like his Mom said he would, and was generally just great during the whole session. It was great fun and wonderful to see new parents Rob and Lauren again.

Family Portraits in Rock Creek Park, Washington DC- Katie and Dov
We may have missed the fall leaves still on the trees but at least we got them on the ground. An open field, sticks, fences, and unseasonably warm weather combined for a lovely little portrait session on Sunday. The kids were great, though I think there may have been some bribery involved. Thanks Katie, Dov, Sophia, and Jonas.

Lila’s Bat Mitzvah- Washington Hebrew Congregation
As my grandmother would have said, “Mazal Alto Tov!” Lila on your becoming a bat mitzvah. It was said over, and over again, on Saturday how appropriate it was the you recited bereshit as your torah portion. You earned it and you did the portion, your family, friends, and yourself proud with your recitation. I have put up a few photos from the day on this blog and all of the photos are viewable at this gallery: Lila’s Bat Mitzvah Photos
The password is the date of the bat mitzvah (MMDDYY).
I had a blast and it looked like everybody attending did as well. Thanks for letting me be a part of your day!

Lancaster Wedding- Becca and Ben at the Ware Center, Millersville University
Even Occupy Lancaster made way for Becca and Ben’s wedding on Saturday. The square in front of the Marriott was filled with protesters as Becca and Ben got ready but by the time we were set for portraits nary a sign remained. We got to spend some time taking photos in the central market as the sun went down to great effect. It was so simple yet so beautiful. I love fall light.
From there we went to the Ware Center at Millersville University for the ceremony, on stage of course, and the party. So many tender moments, from the “hand” made chuppa and Becca’s father on the cello, to raucous toasts and partying. Not a spare inch of floor space remained on the dance floor it was so packed. Truly an incredible day.

A shout out to wedding planner Jonnaysa Kirkham who helped keep everything running smoothly. And who can forget the delicious Achenabch pastries for dessert. The shop might not be all that convenient to anybody in DC or Baltimore but the peanut butter long johns are worth the drive.

Family Portraits- Bethesda Row
After five years, and two kids, I reconnected with Caron and Kenny on a recent Sunday to take some family portraits. We met at Bethesda Row and thankfully a week full of rain subsided long enough to get a few snaps. It is so nice catching up with people whose weddings I photographed. Watching their families grow is a true joy.
