A happy announcement + a favorite vendor: Northern Virginia Family Photography

A happy announcement + a favorite vendor: Northern Virginia Family Photography

So you may have noticed that things have been kind of busy around here.  It's that time of year where appointments get snatched up quicker that you can write them down and everyone is in full preparation mode for the holidays.  What I love most about this time of year is connecting with some of my favorite families and clients.  It is so gratifying to capture a family again and again and see their families grow and change. This was my first time capturing this family, though I have had the …

Sweet little Caleb: Virginia Newborn Photographer, Loudoun County Newborn Photographer

I love seeing families of one become two and two become three.  It's always such a privilege for me to be a part of the new birth of a baby.  What a momentous occasion.  I always wonder what they will do with their lives, who will they become, what role will they play here?  And that I get to be the first one capturing their new little life, it's such an honor.  This little guy is so loved and you can tell his parents adore him.  He's perfect! P.S. Twenty comments on the blog will earn them a …

Yesterday for the first time, I shot at the Carnegie Institute.  My creative juices were overflowing and I can't contain the excitement I feel for the images we captured.  Andrea + Pablo, your affair was to die for.  Crazy beautiful!! Just two images from the library in the Carnegie and wait till you see the rest from this wedding.  It was a D.C. affair through and through.   …
