and I have no idea why it happened. It is the weekend and I have put in a support ticket so please bear with me.

which I will be dilligent on sharing sneak peeks after each and every session. I am also opening up comments now which I have never done in 2 years since I jumped on the blog bandwagon.

You can find the new blog here: new Susan Braswell Photography blog

update - issue resolved, please email me directly if you encounter any problems.

When I got the call from dad to book a surprise session for his wife - I was so touched by the message he left and how he described his wife. He could not have been more accurate. I had a blast working with you two and can not wait to meet your daughter in a few weeks.

I'll try to add more as time permits.

details will be updated later this week! Please stay tuned as these will only take place during the month of February Complete details will be posted by Tuesday, January 15th. You may contact the studio at (703)549-5030 for more details and to make your appointment. You may also opt to have part of this session partake outside for an urban feel.

Goooooooooooo Redskins! If you look real hard you will see a star shining down on these boys. Something tells me mom might get a kick (pun intended) out of this one.

Please excuse me if any of these were previously posted, I lost track. Happy New Year and look forward to another fabulous year. I am also including some of my personal favorites that were taken throughout the year in no random order.

I will be sending out a fun kind of questionnaire - little tidbits and it's all about you. I would love it if you would kindly indulge me by taking some time with your morning coffee to fill it out and return it promptly. Please be on the look out for weekly features including images from your session as the spotlight.

I invite you to help me be inspired and be my Muse for the day.

Muse - myo̵̅o̅z -noun. the spirit that is thought to inspire a poet or other artist; source of genius or inspiration.

Susan Braswell Photography would like to extend a few limited complimentary sessions (fee only, print prices apply, no obligation to purchase) during the quieter months of January and February. If you have any wild hair brained ideas, I'd love to hear them - please email me for consideration at: susanbraswellphotography@verizon.net. New client inquiries only, I am seeking fresh faces and ideas.

Here are a few ideas I think might be fun, babies and children only sessions are being considered unless otherwise noted.

1. Ice skating or with loads of hot chocolate.
2. Skateboard park with loads of hot chocolate.
3. Tattoos, grunge and something funky - I am stumped on this. Maybe dad with a Harley and his kids, where .. you tell me.
4. Ballerina/dancer (older teen/young adult) in an open lit/natural light studio.

Only a few dates will be considered. Please email me your idea or select from mine, list the age/ages of your children and send in a snapshot as it may even help me visualize something creative to partake in.
