Baby Girl "C": 3 Months Old | Northern Virginia Baby Photographer

"C" is a Baby Club Baby so I was excited to get back and see how much she's changed since the last time I saw her she was only 5 days old! She's a sweet, blue-eyed red head! She already loves to watch her older sisters and I can tell she is ready to jump into the mix as soon as she figures out how to move. The oldest sister, also a "C", just turned 4 so I also did a mini photo session with her. Unfortunately it was pretty chilly that day so we were stuck inside but luckily they have a gorgeous home which makes for a beautiful setting! Thanks again for having me back!
Here are a few of my favorites!

A group shot! Yea, we did it!

Always tricky with little ones.
4 going on 16!

Expecting! | Northern Virginia Baby Photographer

I have been so grateful for our warm weather this past week! We actually had a day or two that was in the 50's, woowhoo! Compared to the 20 & 30-something temps we have had this has felt down-right balmy, like spring is just around the corner! Luckily, Friday was one of those days because I met up with this adorable couple who is expecting baby #1 in late February to do an outdoor session. Baby girl Olivia is due right around the time my Harper was due last year, so I'm a little partial to February babies. ;-)

We strolled around Old Town Alexandria, her cute belly leading the way, enjoying the nice afternoon. This couple truly makes me smile, they've been married 10 years but by the way they look at each other and laugh together, they make it seem like they're newlyweds! They already love this little girl so much and I can tell they are going to make wonderful parents! Thanks for letting me document the beginning of a new chapter in your lives! It was a pleasure meeting you both!

Two of my favorites!






I love a girl who will do crazy stuff for me!



Thanks you guys! Best of luck, can't wait to meet Olivia!

The "D" Family: Northern Virginia Family Photographer

Yesterday I headed over to National Harbor to meet the "D" family for some INDOOR photos! It is still pretty darn cold here in Virginia so they came up with this great idea, which I of course loved! The less time spent outside the better these days. We met at the Gaylord National hotel which has a fabulous indoor setup that feels like the outdoors. If you haven't been there yet I suggest checking it out! So, we let the kids explore while tricking them into having their picture taken and it worked out pretty well. So, here are a few of my favorites!



I love the interaction between brothers & sisters!
Tickle time!




We braved the cold for a few mintues & headed outside!


Thanks guys! It was great to finally meet you!

Ringing in the new year with Baby Boy "R": 6 months Old | Old Town Alexandria Photographer

Happy New Year everyone! I hope you all had a great time with family and friends during the holiday season. I'm headed down to Nashville in the morning for a photographers business course but before I left I wanted to share some of my favorites from this morning's session.

Today I met up with this adorable baby boy with the biggest blue eyes! He was such a doll and so fun to photograph along with his big brother who popped in for a few as well. We even braved the cold for a few minutes and headed outdoors! All in all, a great session with a great family! Thanks for having me!

Didn't like being on the floor so much, but such a cute sad face!

I lied, one more for 2009! Baby Boy C: 2 months old | Northern Virginia Photographer

So, my previous post was going to be the last one for this year BUT one of my closest friends from college came through town and stopped by for a visit with her brand new baby boy! I of course just HAD to be the first to take pictures of him! So, after dinner we set up a mini photo shoot before they had to head out.

My friend is one of the most joyful people I know, she always has a smile on her face and a sincere laugh no matter what the situation and I am so blessed to have been able to call her a friend for the past 10 years! And now, I'm so excited to see her enter this new phase in her life. I just know she is going to be an amazing mom and her husband is super sweet and will also be a wonderful dad! Her little guy is just like her, even at 2 months old he is the smiliest little thing I've ever seen. They make an adorable little family! So, here is an early Christmas present for you! Merry Christmas!

Check out that handsome boy!
Sweet grin!

Some of my favorite images or of dad's with their babies.

Look how excited he is! He loves his mama!


Again, Merry Christmas!

Love,
