One of the great joys of this business is working with the same families over and over, watching their little ones grow, and getting to know them. When cold weather pushed us inside, we decided to try something a little different and venture to Union Station in DC for a more urban feeling session.
Sweet Baby Girl {Alexandria, VA Family Photographer}
We switched from an outdoor to an indoor session thanks to 30 mph winds and chilly temps. Capturing baby E was a joy. She cried when I put the camera away - this girl was born to model! (And her parents are both gorgeous, too!) My daughter Ellie LOVES baby E, and sat beside me as I edited parts of this session proclaiming, "I LOVE that baby!"
And then there were six {Arlington/Alexandria, VA Family Photographer}
This spring, I photographed this beautiful family as they awaited the birth of baby #4, joining his five year old brother and sister and two and a half year old sister.
This fall, it was great to reconnect and photograph the family of now six! We moved our session up a bit as a giant windstorm was expected. Despite a sunny and warm arrival as I scoped out the location, an hour and a half later there were gusts up to 50 mph! The big kids thought it was hilarious!
An Extended Family Session {Alexandria/Arlington, VA Photographer}
What a joy to work with this family again! When I first photographed them, I was amazed Mom and I had never met. We have a ton of mutual friends. Since then, our kids have ended up in gymnastics class together and we've run into each other on various occasions. When she asked if the grandparents could join the fun, I was happy to say yes!
Newborn Session at Home {Arlington, VA Newborn Photographer}
Whenever I get a last-minute request for newborn photos, I want it to work, so I was thrilled when my weekday only availability met this family's need. Their sweet one month old was a mover and shaker who let me snuggle her, so I was thrilled!
Celebrate Fall {Alexandria, VA Family Photographer}
Another cold morning with perfect light made for numb hands but beautiful pictures. S was a rock star and happily posed for pictures with his mommy and daddy until the cold was just too much for him. He was adorable on the playground and I loved seeing his sweet personality shine through.
