2016 started off with a bang! Rather than sleeping in on the first day of the new year, we got up early for this photo shoot. To preserve as much daylight as possible, we didn’t venture too far out of the neighborhood. Instead we drove to my dad’s office in Alexandria, VA.

Yet, today I could not imagine life without my Godsons, niece, and young cousins. (more…)
In one of my earlier reviews, I mentioned that Bar III is a private label owned by Macy’s. The hip and fun shoe line is inspired by top fashion bloggers. (more…)
After the Bar Mitvah I wrote about last week, my dad and I spent the rest of the afternoon taking blog pictures. To take full advantage of time and weather, we take pictures for 3-4 weeks worth of blog entries.
