A wedding, our Easter and the White House Easter egg roll
The last 4-5 days have been a whirlwind, we’ve traveled from Virginia to upstate NY for my dear cousin’s wedding and to visit my Mom. Keeping two very active boys strapped in a car for upwards of 8 hours was an interesting challenge. Let’s just say I’m only planning on one more trip this year, Ha!
First, my cousin’s wedding was a true highlight of the trip, I have 23 cousins I hardly ever get to see, but when I do its like no time has passed they are beautiful inside and out. Then my Mom’s victorian home in the quaint lake side town of Oswego always feels like a safe haven! My husband can’t get in enough time with my second Dad and my Mom was both gracious and generous treating us to meals and helping me juggle my boys! We love you guys!
Lastly, the White House Easter Egg Roll….this was one of those occasions which held so much hope and promise to be spectacular yet it sadly disappointed. In one word, the main problem was the crowds. It was shoulder to shoulder the entire time. We scored our tickets through my husband’s squadron and each session was allotted a 2 hour time slot, our first 45 minutes was spent in line waiting to get in. Each activity on the South Lawn of the White House also held a dreadfully long line, essentially we picked the thing with the shortest line, egg dying. Then took a few picture with random characters and called it a day! Oh well! It was definitely neat being so up close to the White House and running into people from my husband’s squadron. Hoping your Easter was blessed! {pardon some of the blurry and less than perfect pictures, I was typically carrying Mr. Bo while snapping away!}
Oh my goodness! Gideon looks so much like you, Maria . . . with a dash of Laura freckles! I never saw that before until these photos. So cute. 🙂ReplyCancel

Most frequently asked question!? When to book the newborn session- the magical window for posing is the first 10-14 days after birth! So book when you are expecting- we pencil in your due date then come to your home in Fredericksburg Va! I set up next to the best window- and preserve this special fleeting moment in time! We offer family session with newborn too and also like to include furry siblings! 🐶 🐈
Come behind the scenes with this sweet family and toddler with the best laugh in the world. We move fast and multi task in family sessions!! Can’t wait to meet their newest blessing!
2025 is the year of the wedding for me!! This snowy engagement session pretty much made my day when I arrived to 50 degree weather in Richmond at the botanical gardens! We headed straight for the Japanese section and it was magical!
Happy birthday to our double rainbow baby! If you are looking fit an over the top birthday party with incredible customer service and everything done, Chuck E. Cheese is it. 10/10.
How fun!
Awww, Happy Easter! I went to the egg roll when I was 7 and 8 waaaay back when and I think it was just as crowded back then, too. 🙂
