"Mommy and Me" families are some of my favorite to photograph. I love seeing the bond between mom and child at any age, and these two were no exception. The sweet three year old donned his Batman shirt, complete with cape and his mom was simply lovely. Batman posed, flexed, ran and saved Old Town Alexandria from bad guys.
I always love Old Town, but this family made it extra special since it's so close to their home.
More fun over on

There was a touch of fall in the air on Saturday morning, which made a great setting even better. I met my clients at George Washington's Grist Mill, a place none of us had previously visited. The workers were friendly and the grounds were perfect for an adventure with two young girls. Bridges, stone walls, and old buildings made great backdrop additions to the trees with leaves just starting to show some yellow.
Although the four year old was fairly disappointed to learn that George Washington is no longer living and able to meet her, we had fun exploring the grounds.
A baby boy, snuggly as can be and his sweet mama.
Window light on a beautiful day.
A baby who hardly cried, let me cuddle him, and was cooperative as can be.
All of these came together last week for a peaceful, in-home newborn photo session. Baby T, his mama and I got a chance to hang out and capture this sweet stage.
Although my weekend sessions for 2016 are nearly booked, I am taking in-home newborn sessions for weekdays, which is great for moms and dads on maternity or paternity leave.
The cutest, pouty-ist lips.
The thickest hair.
The most beautiful siblings and parents.
And the most anti-cake baby I've ever met.
This first birthday session was hilarious and adorable. This sweet little man acted like we were torturing him to get him to try some cake. His older siblings were happy to sample, but he was not having it. However, he was still completely adorable and I loved working with his family! I'm working on putting together my own baby's cake smash next week and wondering if she'll feel the same way!
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!
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.
me ASAP to schedule a session.
