Winners of the Spa Package

Well, we had a great time meeting you all at the Washington Bridal Showcase yesterday! To come will be pics of the booth. But until then, I know you are all dying to know if you won our Spa Day giveaway. We gave away a spa package for a manicure, pedicure, and massage!

So, here is our big winner --

Allison Robbins

If this you, get in touch with us! :) Don't worry, we will be emailing also.

Thanks to everyone who came out yesterday. Hope you got a lot done! :)

Bridal Show

Hey everyone!

We are all ready to go for tomorrow. I am pretty nervous about it, but I can't wait to meet some of you there. It is the first show for Toute Ma Vie, so we are pumped and anxious to go.

So, if you want, come out and see us at the Washington Bridal Showcase.

Patriot Center at GMU, 11-5. Everyone cool is going to be there (like us)!

No seriously, come out. We are auctioning off a day at the SPA!

Awesome!

Hey all!

Guess what? I was chosen to be featured on Awesome Photographs! This is a site that is run by some really great photographers, and they basically choose whether they think your photo is awesome or not.

Anyway, it was a fun session, and I feel really honored to have been chosen! :) Please check it out!

Maternity Session

Neal Jacob and I got together this weekend and did a maternity shoot for a young lady named Carina. I just went along with Neal to help out . . .

We shot in the Babies 'R Us that she worked at. It actually worked out okay -- even with warehouse lighting!

Here are a few shots . . .

Christmas with the Halsey family

First, a bit about the story . . . every year, my mom's family has a large Christmas party. Other than weddings, it is pretty much the only time all year that we get to see each other. Anyway, being in Virginia, Michael and I don't get to go anymore (we have to teach through the week right before Christmas and normally this is on the weekend in the teens). Anyway, this year, I found a really cheap flight and flew home to surprise everyone -- even my mom. My dad picked me up at the airport (my parents are divorced) and dropped me off at the mom's. It was so much fun . . . I walked through the front door and said, "is there room at this party for one more?" My mom was sooooo excited. Plus, my 93 year-old Grandma was there, and I felt like it was really important to see her. It felt so good to be there, and a fun surprise on top of that.

Anyway, here are a few pics from the day -- just random stuff.

My mom, my uncles and my grandma . . .


I have the cutest cousins . . .

Winter Wonderland

These are shots from our time in Colorado over Christmas. There was no playing with Photoshop done to any of these. I love them! :)

Merry Christmas!!!

We are heading off to MI and CO tomorrow morning (well, MI first, then CO), but we wanted to take a moment to wish you and your families a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Take a moment this holiday season to be thankful for the blessings that we have been given. I know that we will!

Look forward to picture updates from the trips when we return. And don't forget, if you book by 12/31 - you will receive 20% off the Gold or Diamond package!

Happy Holidays from Toute Ma Vie Photography!

Christmas time in Front Royal!

Since it is that time of year, I figured I could take a few pics of the local festivities. The first few are from the Holiday Parade in town, and the last few are of my tree. Nothing fancy, just Christmas!

Riley at 6 weeks

More pictures of the lovely Riley. He is now 6 weeks old! What a cutie pie! All of these are taken with one light and a 50/1.4 lens (no flash).
