When a client invites me to a new location, I am always excited and nervous, especially if the situation prevents me from checking out the location in advance.
Well Saturday morning, I left early to scope out the location I'd be using thirty minutes later.
It was perfect.
We had a lovely time, but here's just a quick sneak peek!
I'm booking now for the rest of 2016!
Here comes Ellie!
After three years of pre-K, she's off to Kindergarten in September.
She has grown up so much since she started preK at just two and a half years old! We dropped a health form off at her new school earlier in the week and the entire walk there and back was a chorus of "Kindergarten! I'm ELLIE and I'm going to KINDERGARTEN! Is this Kindergarten? Where is Kindergarten, Mommy??"
Make sure those milestones don't sneak by without photos.
No one will miss what year this photo was taken, either - note the Dory shirt.
Booking now for the rest of 2016 - just
me!
These girls are some of my favorites. I love photographing the same families over the years, because I love to see how kids grow and change.
We had a blast at the Bon Air Rose Garden, running around, laughing during costume changes, and making a quick stop at the playground for a little break. We managed to get the timing right for some golden light, despite a quick thunderstorm that threatened just an hour before we met up!
I'm continuing to schedule for the rest of 2016, and it's crazy to look at my calendar for September and see so few free slots already! If you're thinking about booking before the holidays, do so now, even though it's only June!
Gift certificates for a photo session are such a fun gift for a family. Most families don't have high-quality pictures of everyone - there's usually one person who is always behind the camera. This session was a Christmas gift for the H family, but a few false-starts with weather meant their session occurred in June!
It was worth the wait.
The meadow near the Rock Creek Park Nature Center was high and the predicted thunderstorms held off. I love watching siblings interact, and this duo was super sweet. The best smiles from little sister were directed at big brother.
This is my favorite of her. The total focus on whatever cool bug or leaf and the light.
Such a fun age. The confident look right at the camera!
I love living in a neighborhood full of parks and green space, and I especially love living in a neighborhood with wonderful families like the one I photographed on Saturday evening.
Baby #4 is arriving soon, and will be a lucky kid to have two big sisters and a big brother to welcome him. The entire family was great to work with - even the littlest, who didn't want to smile for the camera but still let a sweet little personality shine through. She just wanted to play!
