Children’s National | Race for Every Child

Wow – I can’t believe it’s 2017 already!  Sadly, the blog has taken a backseat for TOO long!  I don’t have any major excuse but just LIFE.  Last year was spent busy with family, baseball tournaments, dance competitions and recitals, college visits, church activities, traveling, photography workshops in Washington State and Texas, preschool pictures, a couple of 5K races (photographing NOT running! LOL), senior sessions, fall family mini sessions and much more.  We capped off the year with a family cruise to Mexico and it was so amazing to be able to unplug and just enjoy time together.  (Any vacation where all four of us completely turn phones off for several days is a winner in my book!)  But…now it’s time to get back to work.  My goal is to blog at least once a week for the entire year.  I can do this!

This fall I had the opportunity to photograph two 5K races – the Children’s National Race for Every Child and Go For Bo (more on that race in a future post.)  The Children’s National race is one I look forward to every year.  The morning is always full of a flood of emotions – the energy and excitement is contagious but I always end up in tears (at least once) as I watch children and families finish the race hand-in-hand with determination and smiles!  This year the weather was a little challenging.  Right in the middle of the race we had a DOWNPOUR!  Luckily it only lasted a few minutes, but that didn’t seem to dampen anyone’s spirits.  Thanks to my friend, Emily, of Emily Weiss Photography for once again allowing me to be part of the photography team!
