Cake: A First Birthday.

Two years ago, I took some headshots for dad and did first birthday portraits for big sister.  In the years between, I've had the joy of photographing birthdays, newborn portraits, and holiday portraits.  My favorite though, might just be a good cake smash.

Cake smashes can be tough to photograph because, well, cake is EVERYWHERE, but I was lucky enough to have a very talented almost-three-year-old assistant, because big sisters make great helpers.

 

Expecting Baby #2: Old Town Maternity Session

Old Town Alexandria is one of my favorite photo spots, and Carlyle House is my go-to meeting spot.  When this family asked about my availability for a maternity session, I knew we'd have a great time based on their family photos last year.  Big-sister-to-be did great!  Maternity photos capture such a fun but hard time of waiting and expecting... and rushing and scrambling to get ready!
