For those of you who don’t know my sister’s husband Brian, you are definitely missing out. Brian’s enthusiasm for life, overachiever attitude, and all around caring, kind-hearted soul makes him one of the most AWESOME people I have ever met. After spending six years as an undergrad student at the University of Maryland (go TERPS!) and getting not one, but three undergrad degrees, it wasn’t enough. He decided he needed to go to school longer, and get his Juris Doctorate. He spent three long hard years away from my sister in the most frigid of places Lansing, Michigan. Back and forth they went making sure to see each other at least every other week, all along assuring her that soon he would finish his life long dream and make it back to Maryland for good.
I knew, but I think he was still unsure, until he saw it with his own eyes. I got the call, “Sparrow, I passed!” He endured, he did it, he passed the bar. Now all that was left was to make it official with the ‘Swearing In.’ All of us were so excited when the big day came, and even though the limit was two guests, all eleven of us came along…whoops. Congrats Bri, I knew you could do it!
This guy gave an amazing speech, not at all what I expected from a Justice.
“Brian Andrew Tucci”
Making it official, signing the book that all barred lawyers in Maryland have signed. He tried to sign it with his purple pen…but they wouldn’t let him.
The Court of Appeals building was so awesome!
Here he is, the newest laywer in Maryland, Brian A. Tucci Esquire
After the ceremony we all went to McGarvey’s for a celebratory lunch.
Only Bri would be excited about a Maryland Law book.
All of us, minus the fab photographer… me :)
And if that wasn’t enough, he will be taking the Virginia state bar in a few weeks, and has started his own construction company; Coordinate Construction. Check out his website here, if you’re looking for a good, reliable, licensed, insured contractor. Or if you need a lawyer, contact me and I will pass you along.
Feel free to leave your congratulatory comments for Brian in the comment section.

Internet, do you know? Cause I don’t think you have any idea how hard it is to narrow 700 shots of the cutest baby on the east coast to one blog post. In fact I bet it’s easier to eat one of those green vegetable thingys, broccoli, I think they call it. Noah is absolutely adorable and I think he was quite fond of me, if I do say so myself.
Melissa and Seth have had a long road to starting a family and finally had their dream come true when they moved their adoption search to social media and found a pregnant mother through facebook. And then there were three, Melissa, Seth, and now new born baby Noah. They beamed the entire time I was there, and they couldn’t possibly love him more than they already do. Noah is so blessed to have amazing parents who seem like old pros at this parenthood thing. They are so much fun, cute, cuddly and laid back. Without further ado, I want to introduce you to Noah Benjamin.
I think that’s a smile ;)
Like a little pea.
I was afraid that those tiny little booties would be too small…I was way off…they were too big!!
I LOVE this image, absolutely love it. Priceless moment.
Proud pappa.
I just love the way Seth looks at Melissa.
Look at those toes!
Noah LOVES smooches.
So peaceful and serene.
Melissa is an incredible mother.
Finally a family.
For more on their story check out them on the Today show or Facebook Fairytales, a new book out by award-winning, internationally published writer Emily Liebert about miracles through the social network Facebook.

As I sit here on my computer editing my little fingers away, I got an email. I know, I know, I GOT AN EMAIL, how riveting! Although it wasn’t the fact that I got an email, it was the kind words in the email.
Starting your own business and exposing your work to the world, is like rolling an egg down the road, at least that’s what it feels like to me. You aren’t sure how far you’re going to get, and if a bump along the way might ruin it all. But I do know that a little help along the way will take you down the farthest of roads. As my journey continues I have received several emails to help me along the way. Some people I know very well, and others I have yet to meet. Words of encouragement, admiration, supporters, followers, fellow shoe connoisseurs, and the kindest words a girl has ever heard. They make me smile, they make my heart smile. Thank you, thank you, thank you, I can assure you they don’t go un-noticed. It is absolutely amazing to get to do something that I am so passionate about, and to share it with other people who appreciate it makes the journey that much more worthwhile.

Megan you should smile… :)
You’re very talented and from what I read full of life, passion and spirit. and this will take you far down the road. If the egg cracks, you’ll actually get a newer one, maybe this time it will be hard boiled and harder to break, and then sooon very soooon. You’ll have the golden egg, the one that just won’t quit bringing you what you desire. :)
how’s that for a life metaphor. Not sure if you’d like to freelance for our studio up here in Frederick and shoot some weddings with us. As the season gets busier there will be a need for it.
Let me know.
