Finally…a Graduation Celebration! #WW

Tuesday, July 15, 2014 by Lolli 14 Comments

It took us over a month after graduation to finally get everyone together for my oldest daughter’s “official” graduation celebration. She chose to go to the Holocaust Museum followed by dinner at Sophie’s, our favorite Cuban restaurant in DC. We had a fantastic time together, despite all of the time spent on our feet!…

Professional Photographers of America #JoinPPA

Tuesday, July 15, 2014 by Lolli 4 Comments

This post brought to you by PPA – Professional Photographers of America. All opinions are 100% mine. I remember my very first big-girl camera. I had been playing around with the idea of getting into photography (just as a mom taking pictures of my own kids at that point!) and my husband surprised me with…

One Last Family Trip to Castle Park #PSF Give Me Your Best Shot

Thursday, July 10, 2014 by Lolli 15 Comments

As we prepare to load up the car and drive across the country to take my oldest daughter to college next week, we just HAD to make one last trip to Castle Park (our nickname for it, at least). Castle Park holds so many memories for us – it was a favorite of the…

Fireworks, Flags, and Family #WW

Tuesday, July 8, 2014 by Lolli 21 Comments

The 4th of July was a busy day, but we made it to the fairgrounds for fireworks. I’ve become a little obsessed with capturing creative shots of fireworks (see how I got these shots HERE) so I had to ask my teenage daughter which of my creative fireworks shots were cool to anybody other…

Necco’s Birthday – a Little Delayed #PSF

Thursday, July 3, 2014 by Lolli 9 Comments

I remember sharing a family picture from Necco’s 15th birthday – nearly a month ago now! – on Facebook. But apparently the month of June really WAS so crazy that I neglected to “officially” post about her special day. And considering how infrequently I show up in pictures with my kids, it would really…

Montgomery, Alabama #WW

Tuesday, July 1, 2014 by Lolli 6 Comments

This past weekend, I was in Montgomery, Alabama, on a press trip with Hyundai. Before the Hyundai events began, a few of us that had arrived at the hotel early hopped on a trolley tour of downtown Montgomery. I loved getting a quick peek at the city of Montgomery and all the history that…

Samsung NX300 Camera Giveaway #30SummerDays

Tuesday, July 1, 2014 by Lolli 285 Comments

I love taking pictures, but if you’ve been following my blog for the last year or so, you know that I’ve struggled with taking pictures FOR FUN. It’s all about work (which for the last several months has meant that I’ve been taking a lot of pictures of food…which I suppose is not an…

Duck Pond with the Cousins #PSF Give Me Your Best Shot

Thursday, June 26, 2014 by Lolli 5 Comments

After iRetreat ended on Tuesday, my sister and I had fun with all the kids in Hershey. We visited a nearby duck pond and stream and let the kids loose to explore. We had a hard time convincing everyone that it was time to leave…but we DID have to feed them dinner eventually. Every…

Butterfly Garden #WW

Wednesday, June 25, 2014 by Lolli 8 Comments

After 2 fun days at iRetreat 2014 at Hershey (where I-can’t-believe-I-call-myself-a-photographer forgot to take a single picture!!) my Hershey-local sister and all of the kids ran up to Hershey Gardens for a quick run through the butterfly gardens. I had my Samsung NX300 with me (side note: I am becoming more and more hooked…

Harmony College East 2014 #PSF Give Me Your Best Shot

Thursday, June 19, 2014 by Lolli 6 Comments

I never really dreamed of becoming a soccer mom. I don’t have much interest in team sports. I imagined that I’d be a piano mom or a dance mom. I never thought that I’d be a barbershop mom. This past school year, my 2nd daughter, Necco, got involved in her school’s barbershop quartet program….
