Hermeling Family

Hubby is from California and is always talking about how the weather is perfect year-round. And though I agree that sunny and 70 is fabulous, I must say, the fall colors of the east coast are really beautiful and make a gorgeous backdrop for family photos. Fall folliage + picturesque family =  an easy peasy job for me! Enjoy!

e-session: Natalie + Ben

Natalie and Ben were such a fun couple to shoot! As cheesy as it sounds, their love for one another really shows just by the way they look at each other. We met up up bright and early, endured a cold, windy DC day and captured some great moments! Enjoy!

Peyton turns one!

I can't believe its been a year since Peyton was born. In chinese culture, when a little one turns 1, the parents set up a spread of items that represent different career paths. Whatever the child chooses first will determine what they'll be when they grow up. This is Peyton's experience...

Little Miss Peyton was born on Thanksgiving day 2010...a tribute to her food-loving parents ;) Oh how I love this princess!

Getting Ready for the Holidays!

I love the holidays!! Spending time with family, getting stuffed with amazing home cooked meals and just being home with the people I love the most. In preparation for the holidays, Riley's parents asked me to take some photos of her for their christmas card. It was a little chilly outside, but nothing a lollipop or juice box couldn't fix!

Goodbye Summer

I got to do some more creative photography today! My friend Daisy asked me if I could help her with a project. She wanted to depict the last days of summer, when the leaves are just starting to crisp up and turn shades of gold. Daisy is an amazingly talented makeup artist who's studying to be a acupuncturist. Admittedly, I didn't really understand the entire project, but I sure had fun taking these pics! Oh, and did I mention that she's gorgeous?
