Gallery at Doctor's Office

As many of you know, a couple months back I had the honor of helping decorate the walls of a doctor's office! Jennifer, one of my great clients' husband, Dr. Leung, works with a group of physicians who just opened a new location for their practice in Lewisville, MD Pediatric Associates.

They helped me pick out the following images for 6 separate galleries throughout the office! I haven't been there to see them hung in person just yet, but Jennifer text'd me these pictures!

Here are the two waiting areas. We went with big galleries!!






And then these are in the hallways!




(Love how Isi and Oli are pointing at their big sister, Miranda! And a picture of them is up there too! And the other picture of the twin boys, we learned as we did this project, are actually patients of Dr. Leung, also shown in this picture! So all these hang by his patient rooms!)





Thank you to ALL of my wonderful clients who gave me permission to use images of their beautiful children!!

Flowery Field

There was (it's now been mowed) a flowery field behind our church that had been tempting me for weeks to come and take some pictures there of the girls. Well when my photog friend, Rachael, called to go shoot, I jumped at the chance. We loaded up chairs, girls, dresses, cameras and headed out in the early evening. It was hot, there had been been no nap. Just sayin'...

I also just happen to have gotten some new color actions that I was wanting to play around with.




Addison's picture I really liked it just the way it came out!


I have my eye on another little field of flowery goodness. So if you like the look, we can head over there for an early evening session. I might load up the girls (post nap) and try it out soon!

Greenville Suzuki Workshop

I had the privilege to photograph for the Greenville Suzuki Workshop. Individual posed portraits as well as candid photographs were taken throughout the workshop. It was a success on many fronts!

Baby Finn

Baby Finley made his debut and I met him at two weeks old. Although we got a couple shots where he looked like he was sleeping, it was merely a long blink! This baby didn't want to miss a thing!! He was so good and just watched us while we moved him about and positioned him this way and that!

It was such a pleasure! Here's his birth announcement!



Thanks Atok Family!!

Baby Lila

As you can see, there was an influx of babies around here! (So you can imagine my baby fever! But I'm waiting patiently on hubby to say it's again time to procreate.)

Lila is now five weeks already, but when she came for her first photo shoot, she was a mere six days old. My youngest subject to date (besides my own). And we got sooo many cute ones!! This was my favorite hands down!



And her announcement shows my next four favorites!


She's still just as sweet as can be! Crystal, thanks again for letting me get my baby fix and take pictures of lil Lila Grace!

Chicken, Brocolli, and Rice Casserole

I love me a good casserole! This is a good one that my mother-in-law cooks! It's a crowd-pleaser and the ingredients store for a good while, so it's nice to cook for playdates, pot lucks, and just about anything else!

Chicken, Broccoli, and Rice Casserole

3 chicken breasts, raw and cubed
2 cups of minute rice
1 can cream of chicken
1 can cream of mushroom
1 regular sized bag of frozen broccoli florets
2 -2 ½ cups of water
Small bag of sharp cheddar, shredded (reserve some to sprinkle on top)
Garlic salt and pepper (a lot of both!)

Mix together and pour in casserole dish. Sprinkle cheese on top and bake at 350 for one hour.

(If I've already posted this here, sorry for the repost, I didn't have it in the recipe category, but it seems like I have posted this...)

Toddler time at the arboretum!

I met Jackson and his folks at the arboretum for some spring pictures! It was a little humid and we quickly found out, lil Jack didn't like the heat. But once we found some shade, he was in the mood for a little of this...

and this...
and this...

and this.... (my hands down favorite!)


Thanks Nicole, Jaime, and Jackson!
