"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

Sunday morning had what could actually be described as a chill in the air. A few leaves are starting to turn and fall seems to be arriving. The morning light was beautiful and the perfect time of year for family photos.
This little guy was adorable. He led the search for bugs, rocks, leaves, dogs, cats and cars. His parents were sweet as can be and I was happy not only to meet them but to work in Fairlington again.
Tis the season for my calendar being packed full of photographing your beautiful families! Stay tuned here for lots of updates and sneak peeks, and as always,
is also full of previews!
And in the spirit of fall and the upcoming holiday season, check out my new

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 got a message recently asking if I could do a session over a weekend I'd blocked off for rain makeups. I said "yes" pretty quickly, because the session was for a family in town from the Chicago area, Blacksburg, and Florida.
I had a fantastic time capturing this family with grandparents and siblings and so much laughter. We went to the Bon Air Rose Garden and I was pleasantly surprised to see how many roses were still in bloom, although we also got to play in the fall leaves a bit! That crisp air is right around the corner (right? right?) and I'm booking just a couple more fall session!
On Saturday morning, just before the excessive heat warning hit, I had the joy of photographing this family in the Bon Air Rose Garden. We explored and skipped rocks and investigated plants. Seven year old boys amaze me - they never seem to get hot or cold!
I'm still booking for fall, mostly October and November with a couple September slots open!
