It's Down Syndrome Awareness Month, so my family participated in the Down Syndrome Buddy Walk for Northern VA this weekend.
My girls had a blast.
Ellie's highlights were petting and hugging a llama, then taking a selfie with it*, jumping in the bounce house, and receiving a medal as a VIP which she promptly shared with her new goat friend.
Caroline's highlights were dancing and then being super sleepy in her stroller and missing the rest of the fun.
*The llama may be an alpaca. Not sure.
One high school student graduating and one getting ready for senior year. I couldn't be a bigger fan of these two.
We headed to Old Town, Alexandria pre-prom and met at the Carlyle House. The formal gardens, gazebo and bricks always make me happy - I use them to create some of my favorite images. When Jess and I first started talking about a prom session, the shot above was the shot I envisioned and I just had to cross my fingers that the balcony at Carlyle House would be open!
After weeks of rain and at times a questionable forecast, the weather was beautiful (if not a little toasty) and I'm so glad I got to capture this fun high school milestone!
