I hope everyone had a wonderful and festive weekend! Cannot believe the end of the year is just around the corner. Seems like a couple months ago I was starting to prepare for the 2015 wedding season! Now I’m prepping for 2016 and starting to book for 2017! I have some big plans for SMPhotography. […]

Today is the final day of sharing these Christmas tree mini sessions! It was definitely a busy day but SO worth while! If anyone is interested in next year’s Christmas mini sessions, email me ahead of time to be a part of the interest list! You will have first notice of the sign ups before […]

Is it really already December 16th?! I’m in denial that we are just DAYS away from 2016 … I had a blast with every single one of these sessions and I’m excited to share more today on the blog along with the finale tomorrow! 🙂 I ran around with different ages of kids throughout the day […]

Kids always seem to put a smile on my face. Maybe it’s just because they say the darnest things and always look so innocent even when they aren’t necessarily behaving! I met this lovely family last week at the Battlefields where the kids had a blast running around the property. They were the stars of the show […]

Not to alarm anyone buuuuutttttt CHRISTMAS IS NEXT WEEK!!!!! Ah! Thank goodness for the internet because I was able to complete my Christmas shopping in pjs last night! 😉 One less thing I have to think about going into this work week. This past weekend was spent drinking wine with friends, watching the Redskins win […]

The day started at 7:20 a.m. at the beautiful Hank’s Christmas Tree Farm in Markham, Virginia! The sun was starting to rise over the mountains in sight. Gorgeous way to start the day with the Johnson family! Although, we were in a CHILLY 28 degrees … WHEW! I came prepared with many layers but after […]

I have the privilege of photographing sweet couples/families every year for my annual Christmas Tree Farm Mini Sessions! I cannot believe this was my FOURTH year hosting the event and it sold out in less than 24 hours! I typically only book 8-10 spots, but this year I took on 16 sessions in five hours! It […]

It’s hard to believe that I only have a couple more portrait sessions left for the year! So glad that the King family are bringing in the finale. Their energy and spontaneous personalities kept me laughing the entire session. 🙂 As an explanation to the kids energy level, I was told they had sugar. Haha! […]

This weekend was just what I needed to get into the Christmas spirit! 🙂 I have been so busy that I haven’t really been able to help my family decorate for Christmas. To thoroughly enjoy my favorite season, I am only photographing 1-2 days a week until the week of Christmas instead of 2-3 sessions […]

I have been asked by many what is the progress of my house and I’m excited to post up this update today! 🙂 The builders have already moved on to the second story and it won’t be long before they are working on the third! It has been a while since I have checked out the […]
