7 month old Gavin [fredericksburg virginia baby photographer]

I photographed little Gavin at 5 weeks old and was so excited to see how he’s grown in the past 6 months.  He’s all “boy” and busy as can be, we had fun exploring together!
Great to see you guys again Z family!! Enjoy your sneak peek!

3 cuties under five [falls church virginia family photographer]

I spent this gorgeous afternoon at the park with this lovely family.  Any photographer, or any parent of 3+ small children, knows how hard it is to photograph them together.  Over the years I’ve learned that no matter how crazy the session is, I will have a gallery of great photos to give the family. ...

Your daughter is simply adorable! Enjoy your sneak...

1 year old Chloe [stafford virginia baby photographer]

What a joy it has been to know Chloe this year.  She’s such a cutie and full of personality.  What I love about 1 year old sessions is that they are about capturing the new independence  of these little ones while they explore their world, so amazing to watch their curiosity and wonder (and determination...

Annabelle 2 years later [arlington virginia baby photographer]

I had a great time this morning with Miss Annabelle, who I’ve known since birth.  She’s always been easy-going for her sessions and today was no exception.  There was a lot of compromising as that’s how it works at this age- we’d trade a snack break for a zillion books or some beads, so that...

the youngest [stafford virginia baby photographer]

Last summer my older kids went to stay at the grandparents’ for a few days.  That left us with 2 year old Felicity, it was so nice to have alone time with her!  We took her out for her 2 year old session, which just meant I chased her for an hour lol.  So this...

5 month old Aahan [northern virginia baby photographer]

I enjoyed spending my morning with this lovely family yesterday, they were friendly and easy-going so I felt right at home!  Little Aahan was so happy and energetic for his session, doing all of the cute 5-6 month things like squealing and babbling and grabbing his cute little toes.  I was also thrilled when mom...

Owen is one! [falls church va baby photographer]

It’s so fun seeing all of my newborn clients from a year ago turn the big O*N*E!  Owen was ready to roll yesterday for his session and due to the rainy weather (same as the day of his newborn session) we hit a local indoor space to check out the fountains and greenery.   He’s a...

9 week old Hadley [stafford va newborn photographer]

Everyone loves the peaceful innocence of a sleeping baby, as parents we can just gaze at them forever.  Often I get clients who didn’t really know about newborn photography (the “under 10 days old kind”) yet love the images.  Luckily 2 month olds usually tire of photo shoots and opt to take a nap at...

Kylie is ONE! [ashburn va baby photographer]

Seeing Kylie yesterday was a joy since I met her when she was just days old.  She’s such a big girl compared to her 6 month session, talking so much and understanding everything.  I just love ONE, they are becoming so independent yet are still babies.
It was so nice to see you guys again C...

A year in the life of Delilah [fredericksburg va newborn photographer]

It’s hard to believe it, I remember after she was born, talking about how fun it would be to document her first year of life. How can it be that it’s passed? How lucky have we been this year… me to have a best friend close enough geographically to do regular sessions, and...

Audrey is ONE!

Audrey was my first session in 2009 and my second session in 2010!  It was so great to see her again, see how much she’s changed and grown since her newborn and 6 month sessions!  Her sweet 1-year-old babble is so cute and the face she makes when she concentrates, adorable!
Happy birthday Audrey Cate!!

A Mother’s Love

1.5 sessions to edit, then one more session this weekend and I’m done for 2009.  Once orders are done, I’m using the time to catch up on the business side of my business and spend TONS of time with my family.  They think I ran away for the past 6 weeks!  I can’t wait to...

A Father’s Love

Started editing this session tonight and this was the very first image I opened- knew it had to be my blog post for the day.  These kind of images make me giddy, a man and his baby, sooooo sweet!

Late afternoon sweetie

So I don’t have a session until December 13th or so (depending on when the baby arrives).  I admit I’m GIDDY about the time off!  I’m still working my butt off at the computer though, editing a billion sessions (5 more to go!), placing tons of orders, ensuring that everyone has what they need for...

Great to see you guys again B family!

Ella is ONE!

I’ve known Ella and her family for over a year now (maternity, newborn, 6 month sessions) and it’s been so fun watching her grow!  She’s such a pretty girl with so much personality.  My favorite thing about Ella though is her sweet attachment to her mama.  Even though we had to work hard to pry...

Hi Owen, it’s me again!

So I’ve known Owen for 8 months now, last saw him 4 months ago.  He wasn’t too thrilled to see me, the crazy lady who makes him do things different from his regular routine, but we had some fun enjoying the beautiful fall weather anyway.  None of my silly sounds impressed Owen, but he sure...
