Mike and Merissa (Towson,MD Wedding)

A couple weekends ago I had the privilege of second shooting a wedding for Kristen:D I was so surprised to get that Facebook message asking if I was available to shoot. Boy, was I excited and nervous! I couldn't believe I was finally going to have the opportunity to learn from one of my favorite photographers ever. 
So, getting on with the wedding day- The bride and the groom were complete babes. I adored them. Part  of the reason I loved them was that they opted for a "First Look." This is every photographers dream- To have hours before the wedding to have fun and take very relaxed photos. 
The first time Mike and Merissa saw each other on their wedding day was precious.
The entire day was filled with laughter, quiet loving looks, and some tears.
It was beautiful.

Family portraits [National Arboretum]

Ana and Jonny celebrated their 10th wedding anniversary a couple weeks ago and I had the privilege of capturing them and their son Daniel on camera to commemorate this special occasion. These folks are two of the kindest people you will ever have the privilege of talking with.
 Ana and Jonny- thank you for making my job so easy and filling our time together with much joy and laughter!

Happy Father's Day!

Today marks a special day.
A day dedicated to honor, lavish thanks upon and love our Dad's. 
...
Dad, 
A "thank you" is so inadequate for all you do for our family. How you serve, sacrifice,lead and love me and the rest of us kids is an example that we will strive to follow and pass on to our kids.
Love you!
Happy Father's Day!!

::Story Time::

Alright.
I had a request a couple posts back from someone(Kristen) that they wanted to hear stories.
Well, I've got one.
As I was headed to school one morning, I got off the metro as usual and started the two block walk to my school. For those of you who know me well, would know that when it's early and I'm tired and there are a trillion of other people walking all around me, I put on my "I'm tired and I don't want to talk" face.
I continue on in my grouchy state,avoiding any awkward eye contact with a random stranger.
I come to the crosswalk.
Awesome.
It's the red hand.
As the line of what seemed to be a billion cars had stopped for the light, my best friend(the white hand) started flashing at me to go.
So, there I go!
I dart of like I'm a nascar driver.
As I'm winning the race and darting in and out of all the people, I notice this elderly woman on a rascal on the other side of the crosswalk.
Then I notice that she's not moving.
Weird.
As I near the end of the crosswalk,just about 10 feet from the woman, I notice she gets herself going.
Oh good.
I don't have to feel like I should help her.
I went back to studying the ground and when I was about 3 feet in front of her, she speeds(well, speedy for a rascal;)) right at me!
I felt like a deer in the head lights.
It was the most bizarre and hilarious thing.
As I jumped out of her way and apologized, she muttered "well, hurry up and get out of the way."
I keep walking and bust out laughing.
As I continued to laugh, the light bulb went off.
Oh, the Lord surely does have a sense of humor!
I could hear the gentle voice saying"oh Megan, stop focusing on yourself. Lift that head up and look at me."
What an excellent way to start my day! Don't you think? ;)





Mishell::Senior Photos

I had the amazing privilege of documenting a big cornerstone in my friend Mishell's life.
Graduating from high school.
The time when your life changes. 
But either way it's exciting. 
That school work you've been doing for the past however many years is about to pay off. . . .

Mishell - I'm extremely happy for you and proud of the way you have thrived these past twelve years!
