Great pictures! Love the self portrait! Nothing better than seeing real photos of boys, not posed, and true to character! The clarity of your photos is amazing, what are you shooting with?

Thanks so much! I have really been working on my photography skills. I took a 4 week course with the Washington School for Photography in bethesda to learn how to shoot in Manual (finally!). I have a Nikon d7000. After the course I realized that I couldn’t get the quality photos I wanted to with my kit lens and bought a 35mm F 1.8 and love it for portraits.

Beautiful photos of your family.  I love how they really show so much personality.

Yeah we have season tickets to the Captials, well for the next few weeks.  After 4 years of being season ticket holders we aren’t renewing our tickets for next year because ticket prices have gotten so high.  :(

Love all the new pics! You need to teach me how to do a watermark!

Thanks! Ha!  I paid someone to do it for me.  I’m sure I could have figured it out but don’t have the time. I can give you the name of the girl who did it if you want.  She is super great to work with and her prices are very affordable.

That second photo is amazing! I love the direct eye contact and the soft colors in the background. Thank you for sharing!
