"A great photograph is a full expression of what one feels about what is being photographed in the deepest sense, and is, thereby, a true expression of what one feels about life in its entirety." ~Ansel Adams

Merry Christmas!

We took a quick trip up to NYC this weekend for my brother's holiday party. I absolutely love NYC during the holidays and try to get to Rockefeller Center to see the tree and the displays on 5th Avenue every year. Of course, I forgot my "real" camera so I snapped a few photos with my iPhone. (Ok truth be told, I took a lot of photos but these are the ones that came out best.)

Walking in a Winter Wonderland!

It's finals week.... so I am procrastinating.... but on my way home from the library (see I was studying!!) I snapped this photo on my phone of the Golden Dome.... It started snowing Saturday and literally did not stop snowing until yesterday! Lucky its really pretty snow that is easy to dust off my car!

A much needed victory...

This past weekend several of my dearest friends came into town for the last home game of the season. The whole day was a blast and it was such a great win. We scored enough points that everyone in our group got to do air push ups!

Just thought I would share a few photos from my iPhone that were taken!


Sweet victory!


The obligatory Touchdown Jesus photo.

Halloween

I got to spend Halloween with one of my favorite families! Jackson was dressed up a Mickey Mouse and Cole went as Anakin Skywalker. Ila dressed up as a leprechaun but when we asked Jackson what mommy was dressed as he said a green turtle! We had a blast taking them treat or treating through the neighborhood! Here are a few shots of our evening:






How sweet is this family?!








Cole getting into character.


Is this not the most precious kid??

Fall!

Fall is my absolute favorite season. I love the changing colors of the leaves, crisp air, college football, pumpkin everything, and wearing boots. I also love that fall leads into the season of thanksgiving and spending time with the people you love the most.

This fall morning had an interesting start... It was insanely windy here with a massive downpour and tornado warnings all morning. I started the day wearing these:



But then it turned into an absolutely perfect fall day. I took a stroll around campus between two of my classes and played with a new app I put on my iPhone called Hipstamatic and got the following shots (all taken from my iPhone -- can you believe it?!):

DC... Its good to be home

I had a meeting downtown today and it was so gorgeous outside that I decided to walk around for a while and take in the beautiful weather and the bustle of the city. I walked through Dupont Circle and snapped this quick photo of the fountain in the circle on my iPhone.

Victory!

Notre Dame played Pittsburgh yesterday and pulled out the win which we definitely needed. Its been a bit of a heartbreaking season and fans have been losing hope so a win was definitely in order! The weather yesterday was amazing and the whole day was an absolute blast. I took this picture with my iPhone during the game and I just love how it came out.



Now I'm hoping for a Redskins win this afternoon!

Sweet Baby Hannah

I took photos this past weekend of sweet baby Hannah. She was such a good baby and hardly fussed as we put her through a couple wardrobe changes and moved her around. Here are a few shots of Hannah.














Mike & Amy Shilling

I had the honor of shooting Mike and Amy's wedding a few weeks ago down in Virginia on the Potomac. It was beautiful and Amy did a fantastic job with all the gorgeous details of the wedding. Mike and Amy are absolutely perfect together. Here are a few shots of their day.
