Family Vacation!

My family recently spent some time in Southern California, so I'm sharing a few snapshots of my kids.  I resume regular photo sessions (three this week!) on Sunday!

My morning sessions are FULL through the end of 2016.  I have a few evenings and afternoons left, though!

Playing in the Garden {Arlington, VA Family Photographer}

On Saturday morning, just before the excessive heat warning hit, I had the joy of photographing this family in the Bon Air Rose Garden.  We explored and skipped rocks and investigated plants.  Seven year old boys amaze me - they never seem to get hot or cold!

I'm still booking for fall, mostly October and November with a couple September slots open!

Welcome, Baby J {Fairfax, VA Lifestyle Newborn Photography}

When I got asked to photograph new baby J, I was happy to say yes.  Her mama is the friend of some dear friends, and J was a doll baby.  My baby had started walking just a few days before, so a newborn session was the perfect remedy to my own "they grow up too fast!" feelings.

I went to J's beautifully decorated home and got to follow her family around as they fed and comforted her, and settled her down to sleep.

I had a great time with J's family.

Professional Update: A White Coat/LinkedIn Session

I love doing headshots for people with a variety of jobs.  Obviously, this client is a doctor and we did a session that included both her white coat and a more standard variety of photos.

Stay tuned later this week, when I'll be sharing a beautiful in-home newborn session.  I still have some availability for fall, but it's going fast!

Family of Soon-to-be-Four {Arlington, VA Maternity Photographer}

One of my favorite families was back in front of my camera over the weekend.  This lovely family of three is expecting their second baby in September.  The day was predicted to be about 100 degrees with higher "feels like" temperatures, so we met at Potomac Overlook Park bright and early to beat the heat!

The light was lovely and the family was delightful.  Normally my focus in their sessions is their almost-two-year old daughter, so it was fun to focus on mom and her cute belly!

There's a line in my favorite book where the mom looks at a drawing of her daughter and says that it will stand as proof that she is loved.  I feel the same way about maternity photography.  Proof of love, from a mommy and a daddy and a big sister.

I'm booking now for September through November and special sessions for December.

Annual Family Photos {Old Town Alexandria, VA Photographer}

Sunday evening was beautiful in Old Town Alexandria, and I loved spending it with a family I first met last summer.  They take annual family photos, and I was thrilled that they asked me to capture them again.

We covered some serious distance in Old Town, and ducked around a few Pokestops.  (We weren't playing Pokemon Go.  We did spot large groups of people aiming their phones at nothing.)

Despite the heat, we had a great time.  Old Town is one of my favorite places because it offers so many different backdrops and lighting situations.

I'm looking forward to delivering their full gallery.  August is now booked except for weeknight high school senior and tutorial sessions, and the rest of 2016 is filling quickly.
