If you know me, you’ll know that I am quite literally thrilled by campy tourist stuff.  So imagine my joy when our little group of friends organized a trip to Dinosaur Land in White Post, VA.  And let me say right up front here, that if you chose to do your engagement session at Dinosaur Land, I would be not only incredibly impressed with you but would also totally not charge you travel fees and pretty much worship the ground you walk on.  Hire me for a portrait session here!  It will be so awesome!

Rich and Sean got married on a boat.  If I remember the speech correctly, the “biggest, gayest boat in all of Washington, DC.”  The party did not disappoint!  The ever-fabulous Cassidy DuHon had me out to second shoot this wild and crazy and very emotional event and then I took over for the dancing.  You’ll notice that I’m posting far far too many dancing shots.  Deal with it.

All my wedding (and portrait) coverage comes with full-resolution files on DVD or jump drive (thinking about switching to jump drives soon).  So why would anyone want to buy a canvas from me when they could just go online and order from the discount guys?  Well, that’s why I’m writing this post.  Like any good frugal girl, I scooped up a Groupon recently for a Cafe Press canvas – $39 for a 16×20 – what a steal!  And when it came, I was happy… for about 30 seconds.  I’ll show you why.  The Cafe Press canvas is on the right, a canvas ordered from my professional lab is on the left:
