From these two loving hands have come 6 children and 13 grandchildren. Bob & Rita celebrated their 50th anniversary at the Queen’s Landing clubhouse in Chester, Maryland. Beverly, my assistant, and myself, were amazed at the sheer number of them all and how wonderful they all were – right down to the littlest guy, Kyle. Thank you Bob & Rita and family for letting us capture this monumental day in your lives! We enjoyed meeting every one of you.

I’d like to close with this heartwarming note by Diane, one of Rita & Bob’s daughters.  It reads, “Mom & Dad, What a celebration – 50 years of marriage!  You have given me so many happy memories over the years.  You have raised a family of sisters & brother who truly love & support each other!  And we all have fun together.  For all of that, I thank you!”

As a thank you to all of my past clients, I’d like to offer to you a custom Christmas Card template. You all are the reason I do what I love, and I’d like to say thank you by making this photo Christmas card. The card seen above can be changed to fit your family with a digital photograph. It measures 5×7. You can choose to have it emailed to you and printed where you like, or I can have them professionally printed for you at $1.00 per card (including a matching white envelope). Thank you again!

Christmas is right around the corner, and what better gift than an album for your loved ones! I just wanted to show you in real life, what an album looks like. This is an example of a 10×10-inch album with 20 pages (front-to-back) in an espresso brown leather cover with gold letter stamping. It easily shows off 40 to 60 photographs on paper that is about 2 to 3 credit cards thick. This is a Companion Lay Flat album that is a much lighter weight than the traditional flush-mount coffee table books. They come in many, many colors and I love how great they display your photos! Check out some more pictures….(and thanks to the Dawson Family for ordering this album so I could show it off!).

It’s official…I’ve been published! I’d like to take this post to toot my own horn….toot, toot! I answered an ad on Craig’s List for a freelance photographer and was hired by Taste of the Bay Magazine to shoot pictures of three female business owners for their September 2008 Women In Business issue. It was a lot of fun and I’d like to show you some of the magazine where my name is in PRINT! Also, many thanks go out to my grandmother (Nanny) for riding with me to two of these places and entertaining my princesses while I “worked.” My mom as well, thank you for sitting with them one morning too! Couldn’t have done it without you ladies! Without further delay, here are the pictures!

A few weeks ago my dad bought a new (to him) Harley Sportster Motorcycle. According to my mom, he hasn’t owned or ridden a motorcycle since they were much younger, so seeing him on a motorcycle now is kind of odd. He loves taking it everywhere, especially in this wonderful cooler weather. Owning and riding a motorcycle seem to be part of almost every man’s fantasy – my husband included. Congrats on getting your license, Dad. Now you can drive legally!
