Matilda Jane Blog Review (Paint by Numbers ENCORE)

I hope everyone is enjoying their December.  Recently i was asked again, to give a review of  a lovely clothing ensemble from the incredible Matilda Jane Clothing Collection  This particular set that i was sent is a young lady's size 12.  The top 'ARCTIC ICE MARJORINE' is buttery soft, vibrant and according to my model is 'super comfy'.  The bottoms are the scrumptious 'MADELINE BENNYS' and the hair pretty is the 'LAUREN ROSE HEADBAND'.
Like all Matilda Jane Clothing, every piece is exceptionally well-made, true to size and able to be mixed and matched.  We love Matilda Jane and look forward to enjoying this set during the Christmas Season and beyond!

Photographer in Northern Virginia {Fall Portraits}

I think i've come to the realization that i am not a writer....and a lot of times, that fact has kept me from making a blog entry...when really, it's not about what i say with words.  Really, it's about what i say with my camera.  So with that in mind, i will simply be sharing some recent sessions, along with some i never made time to share before.
As always, the support you've all shown over the years is much appreciated.  Fall is pretty much booked, but there is still time to get some portraits in time for the Holidays =)

Matilda Jane Clothing "Paint by Numbers"

Recently i  was asked to share my thoughts, along with some photos from the latest collection by MATILDA JANE CLOTHING 
i am really honored and excited to do this!
As the mother of a young daughter, i am always aware of the challenges presented when trying to find stylish, affordable, comfortable, and modest clothing for her.  So a few years back when i discovered MATILDA JANE CLOTHING 
it was a perfect match.  And their latest PAINT BY NUMBERS COLLECTION 2 is no exception.
In typical MATILDA JANE
style, not only are the pieces beautifully made, they mix and match really well with what we already have in our closet!  My daughter raves about how comfortable they are; no itchy or stiff fabric, and i love that while they are super funky and fun, they are also modest and allow her to express her sweet personality.

The three pieces i was sent to review arrived in typical Matilda Jane style; beautifully packaged and exceptionally well-made. My daughter is wearing a size 10, and the fit is generous, allowing for room to grow.
So without further adieu, here is my favorite 'model' wearing some of the cutest pieces from
PAINT BY NUMBERS COLLECTION 2

if you are looking for some beautiful pieces to add to your daughter's wardrobe, i give Matilda Jane 5 stars all around!

I think i figured out what makes blogging such a challenge.  Making the time is the main thing, but then trying to decide what to post!  I am not exactly what you would call a 'writer', and when i have trouble trying to figure out something 'clever' to post, i often don't know what to say, and therefore i just don't post...then sooo much time goes by.  Well...i am really going to make an effort to just let my portraits do the talking, and do my best to just share what speaks to me...and to do it more often =)

Mother's Day Portraits

In honor of all the mothers out there...those living on earth or those who have gone before us...whether they might be birth mothers, adoptive mothers, grandmothers or even 'spiritual mothers'. To honor some of these amazing and beautiful women, i'd like to share a few recent portraits that are very dear to me.
Happy Mother's Day!
