Hi, Dana here!  Last weekend, LaDonna braved the drizzling rain and humidity to meet me at the beautiful grounds of St. Francis Hall at the Franciscan Monastery in DC.  The scenery there is absolutely stunning and we both especially loved all the roses in bloom.  LaDonna was gorgeous, arriving with her hair and makeup looking perfect, and was such a joy to work with!  After a little while in the gardens, we headed back to the studio for a little indoor time and enjoyed a delicious red velvet cupcake to reward ourselves for all our hard work!

I have just had such a wonderful time watching Vivian grow up over the last 15 months!  This darling little girl was only 3 months old when we first met and I’ve gotten to see her grow bigger, learn to crawl and walk and begin to talk – and she even knows some sign language now!  We had a great time during this session on the beautiful grounds of St. Francis Hall and I can’t wait to see Viv again!

Sharee is a fellow Hill resident who recently wrote about Studio Juno on The Hill is Home, which is a fantastic blog about everything Hill related – check it out!  So recently, I had the opportunity to get to know Sharee & her husband, Tom, during a photography session on their 10th wedding anniversary.  I say what better way to spend such an important anniversary than cracking open a bottle of champagne from France and heading out for an anniversary photography session!  Sharee & Tom were so much fun and I enjoyed every minute.  We spent some time at Upper Senate Park and then headed over to one of my favorite locations, the Franciscan Monastery in NE DC.

Congrats guys!  I hope Scott and I are as happy as you two when we celebrate our 10th!
