We spent an early morning together at a sweet, secluded spot in DC that Fresca Photo had never been to before, even after six years of living in the area! (Can you guess the location?) It’s another one of our new favorites and we’re so happy it helped us create lovely photos for the couple to remember and use to announce their wedding day.

Naomi possesses an extremely confident yet unpretentious quality that shines in her images. She is intelligent and caring and was one of the most relaxed subjects we’ve ever photographed. We captured her affinity for country music and worked with the delicious sunlight behind her to highlight her naturally beautiful curly hair.

Here’s hoping more senior portrait sessions are as easy as this one!

It’s time to get with family, share some laughs, and cook till the turkey’s done! To celebrate this delicious holiday, we decided to share a recipe we re-created from a post found on Pinterest (originally from this blog). It’s orangy-vanilla goodness, wrapped in a warm, lightly crusty pound cake and definitely worth a shot this winter. We loved reheating it in the toaster oven on broil, with a little slab of butter on the side.

Ingredients
1 stick butter, softened
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp salt
2 navel oranges, zested and juiced
1 container (6 oz) plain, nonfat greek yogurt
1 vanilla bean

1 – A lone, 20×20 standout print. Eye-catching because of it’s square cropping and size.
2 – A lone, 11×14 standout print. Next to the items on the dresser, it gets a little lost on the wall.
3 – Two 11×14 standout prints, working well as a pair. Add two more for a staggered set. Four squares would look great too.
4 – Two different sized standouts. Line up the edges for a more symmetrical layout.

If you are working with Fresca Photo, we will happily take a look at your home for perfect spots to place your images and even put together different design packages for you to choose from!

Below is from an engagement session held this past weekend in Washington D.C. This image was shot on a bridge facing the water. Believe it or not, the image came out soft and dreamy straight out of the camera because we faced the sun, which added the pretty lens flare above and below Erin and Neil. The couple was intentionally kept slightly out of focus, a light rosy wash was added during post-processing, and we also cleaned up some stray hairs and added a little extra contrast.

Our photo session was tons of fun – not only did her and her mother introduce us to a new favorite photo shoot location in Sudbury, Massachusetts – they also brought along Nitro, their super sweet and playful dog. We can’t wait to get Julia her senior rep cards to share with friends, and she’s also well on her way to earning photo goodies to use with the images from her session!
