Welcome

Welcome, Welcome, Welcome!!!

I can not express how excited I am to finally have my blog! Thank you to Holly at pinkgnomefoto.com for the help! I look forward to keeping everyone (clients, family and friends) updated as to what is going on with Sugar Rush Photography. This is such an exciting and busy time for me. It truely is like a Sugar Rush!!! And anyone who knows me well, knows how much I love sweets - so I am happy as can be.

Moms and Dads look for sneak peeks, current specials and other exciting news!

Glowing!

Oh I had so much fun with this wonderful couple this past weekend. They are expecting their first child and are absolutely positively going to be the best parents! How do I know this? Well…. they are already wonderful godparents to one of my best friend’s son. But more importantly, you can see how much they love each other, how exciting this time is for them and how much they can’t wait to meet thier little one.

On a side note, my computer went kaputz the other night. I had only edited a couple of pictures from the session. Thankfully, I saw this was coming and had purchased another computer. No files were lost, but right now I do not have the ability to work on this session any more for a couple of days… BUT I just wanted to share the few that I had edited.

I had soo much fun! Thanks T&T for such a fun time :o)

I saw this bench when we first got to National Harbor. Just had to take a pic with the turtles - I love the piers and flags behind them. If you have not been to National Harbor yet, you should check it out!

I have so many more favs for you all to see! Hope you enjoy :o)

How Old Are You???

Two!!!! (who cares if I am holding five fingers up! - I am screaming two!)

 

Thats right - my baby girl turned two this past weekend. I can hardly believe it. I should know by now that time flies, but wow - I am not ready for this. I was just saying on her Birthday ”I love this age - she is so wonderful”. Now I truely think she is wonderful but wow did those terrible two’s hit already!!! I guess it is not so terrible, just the age of independence. Yesterday she did not want me to help her out of her PJ’s, or to put her clothes on, or when I picked her up from daycare - to wear her jacket, or hold my hand when crossing the street…. oh we can go on and on :o)

Anyways, here are a few snaps while waiting for grandma to come over on her birthday - I plan on doing an actual two year old session soon!

 Oh how I love this little mama :o)

 

…Sweet…

 

That is the perfect word to describe this adorable 6 day old! I had a great time on Sunday spending time with Mom, Dad and adorable Baby C. Afterall, we had plenty of time to talk because little C did not want to miss out on anything -  it took over 2 hours for her to fall asleep! She is so precious and Mom and Dad are clearly smitten with her J  Congratulations J & S – I hope you enjoy your sneak peek!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Fun Family Session!

I had a wonderful time yesterday with this family. The kids had attended their homecoming the night before so I was sure they would have rather been at home getting a little more rest - but instead they were super nice and put up with all of my crazyness :) Thanks S, K & W - hope you enjoy the sneak peek.

Love doing late afternoon sessions for the pretty golden sun!

Like I said - they were up for anything!

 

Oh Boy!(s)

LOL - I couldn’t wait to do this session with this family of 3 boys - 7 year old big brother and (almost) 2 year old twins.  Little boys are so much fun - you never really know what to expect (except for the fact they usually will be on the move!) - I should have known they would be a fun laid back bunch of kiddos (Dad was a former coworker and I knew they were a pretty laid back family).  I had a great time D & S - I love that you and your neighbors are so close that they stopped by to check on things :o) 

Hope you enjoy your sneak peek!

 

 

 

 

 

And I loved the expressions on the twins faces in this one…PRICELESS!

Cute family!!!

So this past weekend, I experienced something completely new for me - pet photography!  I loved this family with their two little ones. Hannah and Riley were so good to me. Especially considering that all my “little tricks” for children do not work on dogs and the fact that the brilliant photographer (ME!) chooses a location that just happens to have a dog walk going on the very day and time of the session…. but Hannah and Riley stuck with me - only getting distracted by the 100’s of other dogs walking by just a few times. And Mom and Dad (J&K) - thanks so much for going with my “more artistic” ideas :o)

Hope you enjoy your sneak peak!!!

one of my favorites of Hannah!

and a favorite of Riley!

 

 

DEFINITELY one of my fav family shots!!

 

 

I absolutely have to post this!!!!!!

Sorry to the “Cowgirls” LOL!!! 

and

HAIL to the REDSKINS!!!!!!!!!!!! That’s right baby - we won, we beat Dallas!

I knew we would win and my Skins would not let me down. I feel like painting my face burgandy and gold and running through the streets right now ;o) I have already called a bunch of Dallas fans that I know and sang Hail to the Redskins. To all you fellow Skins fans, I suggest you do the same!!!!

 

Adorable Little Newborn!

Not even Tropical Storm Hannah could keep us (myself and Stacy) from this beautiful little one! Thanks mom and dad for letting us hang out today!

 

Outta Here!

Just for the long weekend though! Off to the beach with the family. I will have limited access to email and voicemail.  Everyone have a fun safe holiday weekend :)

Just speechless!

Ok, So I am pretty much speechless about the beauty of this senior client and I think I am spot on when I say this client would be any photographers dream. Ms. B is a daughter of a former coworker (& friend :o)) - the last time I had seen her I think she was 7.  Well here we are 10 years later, and I feel so priviledged that her mom chose me to do senior pictures for her.  We chose Old Town Alexandria. This is where they live and my old stomping ground. This is one of my favorites shooting locations!  Thanks Ms. B for trooping around with me - you are a super model girlfriend!!! Hopefully these hold you all over until the gallery is ready - there are a zillion favorites from me……
