Carlyle House: Family of Four {Alexandria, VA Photographer}

This session falls under the category of "third time's a charm."  We rescheduled once for a head injury (my husband) and once for rain, but we finally got a beautiful day.  Although the kids weren't into posing for long, they were VERY into a dance party which made for some fun candids!

While 2017 is more or less full, I am excited to book Spring 2018 nice and early!

 

 

Maternity Session: {Old Town Alexandria}

The first thing I thought when I saw this mama-to-be is that she looked absolutely perfect.  Her family will be welcoming a baby girl, and her look was simply flawless in a pink dress with a big bow!  Big brother-to-be and dad were pretty great, too.

Although we were scheduled for Carlyle House, we had a change of plan thanks to a wedding, so we were off to Market Square and the surrounding area!  I love Old Town for that reason.  There are so many great locations in such a small area.  As 2017 is filling up, it's a fantastic time to book maternity and newborn photos for 2018.  I have slots for babies born every month except for April!

Old Town Photos: A Colorful Family Session

These clients also happen to be friends of mine, and the weekend before their session, one of the girls was wearing this dress.  "Ms. Megan!  Look at my dress!  It's from Kenya!" 

She told me all about the dresses and the story behind them and simply glowed, so naturally I shared this with the mom, who managed to style the girls not to be overly matchy and yet to wear their lovely dresses.

We opted for Old Town in our third year of family photos.  The last time we shot in Old Town, the littlest was only three and we stuck around Carlyle House.  This year, we adventured through alleyways and side streets and found little nooks and benches and other lovely backdrops.
