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

The bun is out of the oven!

Monday, October 6, 2008

When I photographed her parents maternity
shoot a few months ago I couldn't wait until this little bun popped
out. I must have harassed mom once I knew little Sydney was here cause I couldn’t wait to get
my hands on her! I tell you she didn’t
let me down. She was just a bundle of
energy and pure joy just like her parents were at their shoot. She was so happy
to meet me as I was to finally meet
her. I knew we had an instant connection
from the time she was in the womb.

Thanks Sydney and mom and dad for such an enjoyable time and
giving me my baby fix for the day.

Also enjoy this Video Storybook from Sydney’s
time with me!

So bubbly and high spirited Mariah was such a joy to shoot. You did good girl! She was a little nervous in the beginning but by the end she was working it like ANTM! Thanks Mariah for allowing me to be a part of your Senior Experience. This IS the time of your life. Here's a sneak peak enjoy!

Beautiful, Loved, and Blessed

Friday, September 26, 2008

When I got the call from LaTonya I was thrilled that she was engaged and even more thrilled that she decided to take engagement photos with us instead of JCPenney! When she told me that her fiance was over 6 feet tall against her 5'2 I was even more excited to see what I would do with these two. So I met them at the National Harbor on a beautiful but humid day. They were so beautiful together to say the least. You can tell they really like each other and that's always a good thing.

LaTonya and Craig, enjoy this time if planning for your wonderful day together but most of all look forward to the rest of your lives as husband and wife. I'm glad that I could take part in this moment of your lives. Here's to the two of you…beautiful..loved..and blessed!

A “Sad” Prince and his Ebony Princess

Monday, September 15, 2008

The Wedding starts at 7pm and it's about 4pm and it's been raining buckets all day long. "Please tell me that there are indoor accommodations", I asked because I was unable to attend rehearsal the night before coming from ATL. "Yes, but it's not going to be the same, she wants an outdoor wedding, and it just won't be the same." says Tosh. "I know but it looks like we might need a plan B". Low and behold around 5:30pm the sky stopped crying! Yes, Thank You Lord, prayer really works! The castle was gorgeous with a spiral staircase and all. A perfect setting for a fairy tale wedding complete with fairies, knights, a jester and a fairy godmother. Simply beautiful. Perfect for a Princess and A (temporarily) Sad Prince which was the name of the Production that was far from the typical wedding ceremony. Ceremonies like this makes being wedding photographers worth while. By the time it was all said and done a very "Happy" Prince and his Ebony Princess drove off into the night to begin their new life together and live happily ever after

Thank you so much Al & Talita for allowing us to be a part of this very special day. We were both truly honored to capture this moment for you to enjoy for the rest of your lives. We hope we did you proud!
