Washington DC Newborn Photographer - Squeezable!

How squeezable is this little one? Seriously, don't you just want to squeeze her right up? I met her, her great parents and doting grandmother last weekend and we had a long session together. She was pretty determined to stay awake and see what all the fuss was about but we finally wore her down so we could get some great sleepy shots.

Thank you for spending the afternoon with me. Congratulations, she is just precious!

Fairfax Virginia Child Photographer -Getting Big!

This morning I met with this little sweet one for her 9 month session. I always love seeing my baby plan clients. It is so much fun to watch them grow throughout the year.
9 months is one of my favorite ages. Their little personalities are really starting to shine through and oh the different expressions we get. So much Fun!

Just look how cute she is!

See you in January little one.

Fairfax Virginia Family Photographer -Sisters!

Last week, my good friend Stephanie of Babysnap Photography and I met down in her part of the world to take some pictures of our little girls. I have known Stephanie for more years than I am actually going to put in writing but lets just say it is long enough that we were roommates before we got married, before the internet and 90210 (the original) and Melrose Place were still on the air. :) She is a wonderful photographer and has been so helpful and supportive to my business as it has grown over the past 2+ years.

Our little girls are all about the same age so we have extra excuses to try and get together when we can. On this morning we took our girls out into this field and I had a blast working with her two. They definitely have this modeling thing down!

Thanks for a great afternoon ladies. We must get together more often!

Her youngest, who is just a month older than my little one.

Her second youngest, she was giving me the greatest poses the whole time.

Work it, work it!

Give each other a hug

Now what about a kiss? I love this one! Gotta love the innocence of children.

Centreville Family Photographer - Big Sister!

I have had the pleasure of photographing this little one twice now and let me tell you what a difference a year makes! Last time we met down on Capital Hill and had a fun time but those smiles were few and far between. Now this year, I think we hit a record for smiles and laughter. We had so much fun!

I also got to photograph her mommy to help make the announcement that "L" is going to be a big sister. How exciting!

I saved this post in honor of the fact that her birthday is today and she is turning three years old! Happy birthday "L"! I hope we get to see you again soon!

Northern Virginia Child Photographer - Three!

I can hardly believe that three years ago today, a little person came into our lives that would change it forever. Nothing has allowed me to be as fulfilled as becoming a mother to a terrific, fun, spunky, smart, beautiful, little girl. She fills my days with laughter and challenges me in ways that I didn't think were possible.

What a great, fun ride this has been and I can't wait to be your mommy for many years to come. I love you sooooooooooooo much little one! Happy Birthday!

Here she is, perfect and less than 12 hours old.

And now, just as perfect almost three years later.
