After several long years in the healthcare field and nine children, there is no one more deserving of sweet retirement than Michael Fitzmaurice.  I recently photographed their celebration and capture their growing family, closest friends and former coworkers!  It's been wonderful seeing the Fitzies for several years now and I couldn't be more proud of my friend Ann. These lovely people are  a joy, and if you grew up in the DC area, chances are you've already met one of the nine or Mr. Fitzmaurice's several grandchildren! 

Ryan and I went on a bike ride in Rock Creek Park on a particularly wonderful Saturday. I'm still getting used to biking so it was a very leisurely ride. Here are a few shots taken during breaks. If you haven't already, go outside and enjoy the changing season! 

In late July, DC's Black Clouds celebrated their release of "Everything Is Not Going To Be Ok" vinyl at the 9:30 Club. I've seen these guys play in Philly and DC and at both shows, their heavy riffs knock the crowd back. These guys are not to miss. 

Warchild had their very last show at 9:30 in July. Brought to you from Ocean City's finest, below are 5 talented guys who brought the party to DC. 

Introducing Colin & Allie, the winners of the June Free Photo Session! I had the pleasure of meeting these two lovely people at the National Zoo in DC and capturing their family fun day.
