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

Real Life Cabbage Patch Doll | Upper Marlboro, MD Newborn Photographer

Monday, January 24, 2011

Recently I had the chance to photograph a real life Cabbage Patch Kid. Oh I am so serious. To the point when I undressed her to put her in my baby basket I had to check to see if Xavier Roberts was indeed scribbled on her buns. But fortunately it wasn’t. She was so scrumptious and delicious and oh so much fun. So alert for a newborn she fell in love with me at first sight as I did her. So in love that she felt comfortable peeing in my hand. Comes with the job I guess.

Mom, thanks so much for trusting me with your living doll. It was truly an honor and a treat!

Feels like Christmas was just yesterday and wam bam boom Valentine’s Day is around the corner! I have had several of my past clients ask me about doing Valentine’s Day mini-sessions.

There’s nothing better than family, Silver Spring Family Photographer

Monday, January 10, 2011

Holidays are always nice because you get together with family from all over the country and just chill. Simply enjoy one another. For the short amount of time that you are together it just seems to refuel you until you meet again at the next event. What makes it even richer is when you have an opportunity to have those memories documented to save for generations to come. Isaac called me, from an awesome recommendation from the uber talented, ever colorful Beth Jansen, and said that it’s not often that his entire family can get together all at once and he wanted to take advantage of this time and take a group photograph. Well you know I just can’t take one picture so we made the most out of it! Not only were they gorgeous but so much fun. I even had the chance to meet and photograph the beautiful LaChanze. I knew she looked familiar. I had a chance to see her on Broadway in Oprah Winfrey’s The Color Purple , where she won the Tony Award for best leading actress in a musical among many other things. You couldn’t even tell how we were freezing our butts off from the looks on their faces but it was oh so worth it. Made working with this large group a cherished experience as they made me feel like part of the family.

Thanks Fordjour family for including me in your Holiday family time. See you next Christmas!

The heartbeat of the family. The beautiful mom, dad, grandma, grandpa.
