Baby Girl "L" & Family | Virginia Family Photographer

On Labor Day I had the pleasure of visiting some former clients and their growing family! The last time I saw them there was only one grandchild and now there are 2! The newest addition is 3 months old and is the spitting image of her older sister and was all smiles! I felt like I was looking at the same baby, even from the back with the same ears! Big sister was a little ticked at us for waking her up from her nap but I still got some sweet cuddly moments while she was attempting to stay grumpy! It was wonderful visiting this very sweet family again, thanks for having me back!


Sister #1 and her very sweet boyfriend in from Boston for Baby "L"'s dedication...
Daddy with his newest baby girl! Look at that sweet smile!
Super-baby!

More smiles! Have you ever seen a 3m. old smile this much?

Precious moment with Grandma...
Grandma & her girls (minus big sister who would have no part of us :-)!
Sibling dynamics never change! I always wanted an older brother.

Mom doing a great job squeeeeezing a few smiles out of big sister!
And she's done.

Mike & Lisa: Married! | Northern Virginia Wedding Photographer

Mike & Lisa:
Fredricksburg, VA
This past weekend Mike & Lisa were married in downtown Fredrickburg, VA. I've never been to Fredricksburg and loved the quaint downtown area. Lots of great old buildings and character everywhere you look. The bride was glowing and the groom so excited! It was a great day and I was so honored to be a part of it! I also had the pleasure of having Beth of Sugar Rush Photography accompanying me as my second shooter and she did a fabulous job and made the day even more enjoyable! Thanks Beth!

Ceremony, reception & Catering - Fredericksburg Square

Cake – Cakes by Happy Eatery (this cake was delicious!)

Flowers - Garden Heirlooms of Fredericksburg

Hair/Nails/Makeup - The Parisian Spa and Salon


Check out these GORGEOUS shoes! If I were Lisa I would definitely have them dyed and find a lot more reasons to wear them!




A sweet note from his bride...

This may be my favorite shot of the day!



They had a really unique guest book idea. All of the guests wrote them a note on a post card and then put down their address. Just imagine a really great keepsake box full of these cards with best wishes from all of your friends and family. Great idea!

Beautiful & extremely yummy cake!











Funny story. We were so excited about a train coming! Great shot, right? Well, the train ended up being FULL of garbage! Yuck! But, they were good sports and stuck it out while we got our shots!




Waiting with great anticipation!




Now, let us proceed with the dancing!




Thanks for stopping by! And thanks again Mike & Lisa! Have a wonderful time on your fabulous honeymoon!

6 Month Old Twin Girls: L & J | Northern Virginia Baby Photographer

I Recently got to visit some more of my Baby Club babies! It seems they're all reaching they're sessions at about the same time. These adorable twins are now 6 months old! They look like completely different babies and were so active and fun. They've even switched sizes, L was the tiny one when they were born and now she's bigger than J! You can definitely tell these little ones have completely different personalities. It's so fun to see twins interact, even at this age. And, although we were on the verge of nap time we were still able to get some really sweet photos!
Enjoy! Next time you see these two they'll be one year old!!!

Checkout L's gorgeous lashes!!! I'm so jealous!
Mama loves her girls!

L has blue eyes...
And J has dark brown. How sweet is this shot? This girl LOVES her blanket!
Check out L eating the bush. The next picture (which isn't on the blog, shows her disgusted face). So funny!

UP! And one, and two, and three...
Yummy baby rolls!

And more...
Dad and his girls...


My favorite thing about this age is when they eat their toes. Yum!
