Those Eyes

I had so much photographing this little guy and his parents.  He was so well behaved and so very smart.  He quickly figured out the lights and how to press the test button on the Pocket Wizards (the gizmos that keep me from having to connect the lights to my camera via cords.)  I just LOVE curious kids!IMG_9725

Hello Cork Market

As many of you know, our good friends opened Cork restaurant in Washington, D.C. almost two years ago.  Recently, Cork Market opened up almost across the street at 1805 14th St. NW.  Cork Market features the wines we all love at Cork, fabulous cheeses (including those we love at Cork) and a variety of other gourmet items.  In addition, they have a terrific chef who is creating all sorts of yummy treats to take out.  Here are a couple of shots of Cork Market, but don’t take my word for it.  Go visit yourself.  Here is the link:  http://www.corkdc.com/mkthome.htmlforblogIMG_7036forblogIMG_7046

Welcome to the New Blog

Hi, my name is Sarah Mattingly and I am a professional photographer in the Washington, D.C. area.   I specialize in portraits of families, children and adults.  I have a studio in Old Town Alexandria, Virginia.   I am very lucky to be able to meet all sorts of super people and capture images that I hope will bring my clients wonderful memories for many, many years.  My motto is “Fun Photography to Cherish Forever.”  I strive to make each session relaxed and…well…..fun – who says photography has to be scary?

Please check out my new blog.  I hope to post pictures of my wonderful clients, photography tips and general musings.  Thanks so much for visiting!

This first picture might look familiar.   He’s first up on my website too.   I am lucky to be able to photograph him and his wonderful family often.  Each time I see him, I remind him that he is the first picture on my website.  Why mess with a good thing?  So, he is the first picture on my new blog.
