The Captured Life Photography bio picture

Welcome to my blog!

Hey, I'm Tosha thanks so much for visiting my blog! I'm a Washington DC Metro area based photographer who loves to have fun. I'm also a mom of three fun loving kids who have inspired me to do what I do (besides running from me when I come anywhere near them with my camera!) as well as a wife to a wonderful husband who says that I am "eclectic" (just a kind way of saying I'm a weirdo I guess). I use only available light, shoot in my natural light studio or on-location. It's my goal to create timeless art for you and your family that expresses who you truly are in this point in your lives. I absolutely love what I do, and I look forward to capturing your life!!

So looking forward to taking this journey with you and if I get a little crazy on set you know the images are gonna be ROCKIN'! So thanks for stopping by ~T

Peace…Love…and Awesome Newborns

Friday, August 28, 2009

Early this week the coolest little newborn mozied into the studio to have photographs taken. Now only being a little over a week old and weighing in at a little under 8 pounds he didn't have much to say out of his mouth but boy did he have a lot to say with his body language. He must have known about my inner flower child. Here's to the coolest newborn dude around….Peace..Love..and Happiness.

Mom, thanks so much for trusting me with little "j". He rocked my world and I can't wait to watch him grow!

This was just too much for me!

Showing me his muscles.

Didn’t Know Turning Two Was So Much Fun!

Sunday, August 16, 2009

Little "C". Everytime I meet him I know I am in for a good time. The first time we met was last year at his one year shoot and my oh my did I have a good time. He wore me out then and he wore me out this time around but it was way worth it! I tell you what, if turning two is THIS much fun, I am willing to get into a time traveling machine to do it all over again.

Thanks Mr. "C" for such a rowdy good time and thanks mom and dad for giving s yet another play date!

Such a lovely welcome.

This child really knows how to have a good time.

Chasing bubbles, this photograph says so much to me

Peek a boo!

Love the fact that he still enjoys looking at his album from last year.. Smiles!

SCORE! Celebration!!

Silly kid. You make me smile!

In my former life…(high school)… I was what you would call a flower child. I mean I had the platform shoes, the bell bottoms straight from the thrift store, the go go boots and even the flip doo to go with it all. Get this, I had the most sought after outfit with artificial flowers on the bottom of my bellbottoms and my funky vest. Yes..I was a hippie! Straight up. Even won most outrageous dresser in high school. So you wonder why I was so excited to make my days of old come to life in this newborn shoot. My queen supreme was the one and only Deee Lite. I was her mini me.

Little "L" here was so alert and attentive. For a brand new baby she followed me like a hawk and even smiled some for me! She must have also been a flower child in a former life because we had a very special bond. Awww. I could not pay this one to go to sleep, I think she liked my GROOVE!

Here's to you my flower power mama! GROOVY BABY! !

I have had a slew of 1 year olds lately and this one here takes the cake…LITERALLY! I always have fun photographing little "J" and this time I just knew I was going to wear…him…out! But HA, he is walking now and this old lady just couldn't keep up. "J" threw me for a loop and I must say I..GOT..SERVED and you know what, it was all worth it. Happy 1st birthday Mommy and Daddy. Thanks for allowing me to capture this treasured moment once again in your lives. Can't wait to come to VA Beach to catch him at 2 chasing seagulls!

Nothing like a little foot in your cake..YUM!
