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!
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.
A not very secretive secret: I have a special place in my heart for babies with Down syndrome.
I have an extra-special place in my heart for babies with Down syndrome and lots of medical needs, because once upon a (long) time ago, that described my now
healthy
daughter with Down syndrome.
I was excited to capture this sweet family of five, with whom I'd originally connected through our local Down syndrome group.
They are beautiful and wonderful. And dealing with a lot of medical equipment for their baby. But someday, they'll have a child free of tubes and wires, probably flushing toys down the toilet or tattling on her siblings, and they'll look in wonder at these pictures from this time and wonder how they got from point A to point B.
This family was so warm and affectionate toward each other. The big kids both treated their baby sister so gently.
"Of these, three remain. Faith, hope and love. And the greatest of these is love."
Thank you so much for a wonderful session, for welcoming me into your home, and for letting me capture this season.
What do you do with an unexpected wide open Sunday evening?
If you're me, you call your intern because she's now officially a high school senior and you drive to Georgetown to explore, snap some senior photos, and convince her to update your headshot. (Check out my
page!)
After a muggy and hot spell, we had a nice breeze and some beautiful golden light. Evening light always makes redheads just glow, and I will be editing this session all week!
Happy Senior Year, Jess! Enjoy your final year at TC Williams.
I can't believe it's already July. My daughter started summer school today. I need to finalize our vacation plans, for a vacation that's sneaking up on me. And I have been busy planning and plotting for sessions ranging from headshots for professional adults to high school seniors to new babies!
Stay tuned... I have three sessions next weekend so lots of fun updates coming!
Last weekend, we were preparing for my five year old's tonsillectomy and anticipating a low-key week ahead. Knowing that Ellie probably wouldn't be much for smiling this week, and since I hadn't taken any nine month photos of Caroline, I tried to get some pictures of the girls before church.

Laughter. So much laughter.
