I decided to go to the Leesburg photowalk again this year even though  the Winchester walk was closer because I like to see old friends again. Maybe next year I’ll do the Winchester walk. I was going to do both but the rain and the cold got to me in Leesburg. Right now I’m waiting [...]

After going to the Spiritual Investigations seminar put on by The International Museum of Spiritual Investigations at the con, I decided I wanted to capture some images of ghosts for myself. Here was the first image I got of an apparition on our way to the theater to watch horror flicks. Keep in mind, none of [...]

I know a lot of the other photographers in the area. I’ve met them at bridal shows, photographer meetings, and other ways. I’ve never been much of a talker so I listen a lot and I’m surprised at how anti they are to some photography equipment and options. I’m not sure why a photographer would [...]

Today I’m cleaning the house because family may come over later and I also have a meeting for December 3. I wish I had more time to clean  but I only have a half hour til my clients arrive. I’m also charging lots and lots of double A batteries for my wedding this weekend. I [...]

The last wedding I posted was way back in June so I know I’m way behind in blogging. I decided to keep going in order until I catch up. After the June 5th wedding, my husband and I went on a cruise for our tenth anniversary. Vacation is the only time I get to take [...]
