Photo by Vanessa Smith Photography |  vsmithphotography.com Woah…are we really already five FAQ Friday’s deep?! Talk about time flying! I thought I would mix things up a bit by answering a personal question today! This question is actually THE number one question I am asked…by clients, and friends, and coworkers, and random people on the […]

Phew…y’all! What can I say?! One year ago today, I was stepping off a plane at IAD with a suitcase filled with about 2 weeks worth of clothes, an internship, an audition at a fitness studio that would soon become my home away from home, and a hotel reservation booked. I had nowhere to live, didn’t […]

These two were absolutely UNREAL! Can I just tell you…Jenny and Allen were in town all the way from LAS VEGAS for Jenny’s graduation from GWU with a degree in Master’s of Science in Nursing – Family Nurse Practitioner. So, to say that I was nervous to live up to their excitement is an understatement […]

Oh you guys…I am so incredibly lucky. This little business of mine has brought so many truly amazing people into my life, and I am so thankful that it allowed me to cross paths with this sweet group of four. I knew we were going to get along just fine, when Shaharazade messaged me, asking […]

I just want to start this post off by saying I have been so incredibly up and down and back and forth about pressing publish. As a business owner and young professional, I don’t really love sharing my beliefs online…so today, I am not. Today, I simply let my inner, and somewhat retired, journalist flag hang high and had an amazing time capturing the faces and stories of the Women’s March on Washington. And now I am sharing the product with you.

Oh you guys I have been dying to share these mini sessions with you for so long! After some bad weather and crazy schedules put one on hold, I finally wrapped on my Archibald Project Mini this weekend! I am so thankful for the love of each of these sweet people and had SO much fun working on this project. I mean sweet kiddos, loving couples AND dogs?! What more can a photographer ask for from mini sessions?! Their support of my mission trip means so much to me, and it felt so great to get back behind the camera during this off season.

Oh my goodness…time sure does fly when you keep yourself busy! I was looking to my calendar the other day and realized that I just celebrated 6 months as a resident of our Nation’s Capital! What?! Coming from someone that has questioned my decision of moving away from all things familiar almost every single day since I’ve been here, I’m counting this milestone as a huge victory. I’ve had my fair share of amazing victories, beautiful days, and incredible memories. I’ve also had my fair share of the lowest of lows. Of the moments that just kind of leave you sobbing in the shower when you’re finally alone with your thoughts as you hope and pray that this thing called life gets a little easier over time. We’ve all been there.
