Expecting Baby Sister {Arlington, VA Maternity Photographer}

I had just informed my husband that I was all done booking for fall when I got a message from a friend I first met when she was probably in high school.  "Hey Megan, we're expecting number two.  Any chance you can fit us in?"  YES.

I am so excited for this simply beautiful family.  Their son will be the best big brother (and is probably a future model.  He loves the camera.)  I had a rough Thanksgiving week.  I was in a car accident, my back was sore, my oldest was sick, my baby was teething, my husband was sick, I never got super sick but felt awful on Thanksgiving.  And then I got to go out Saturday morning and capture joy and hope.  My rough week got way better.

I am profoundly thankful for the privilege of what I do.

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!
