Longing for Summer: Washington State Family Photos

Longing for Summer: Washington State Family Photos

Every time this time of year I start getting just a little antsy.  Maybe it's because my birthday always hits this month and it's the month before the kids get off from school.  I'm not sure, but I do know that my mind wanders to the summer months when I get to spend time with my family.  I typically take most of the month of July off so I can really refresh and spend quality time with the most important people in my life, my family.  We try to plan a family vacation to visit relatives and given …

Lovely Baby “L”: Maryland Newborn Photographer

Lovely Baby “L”: Maryland Newborn Photographer

I must confess, this little one almost made me baby hungry.  How cute is she?   She was so calm and peaceful throughout her session and it's probably because we caught her in a nice little age window.  Ideally the best time to photograph a newborn is within the first 10 days of life.  This is because they are still so sleepy and easy to pose while they are this young.  Also their skin is still fairly pure without the onset of baby acne which sometimes comes after two weeks.  If you are pregnant …

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas: Northern Virginia Family Photography

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas: Northern Virginia Family Photography

If this post doesn't get you in the Christmas spirit, then I don't know what will!  We had a blast.  We went from downtown Leesburg to the tree farm by my home.  It was too fun.  This little guy is so playful and always keeps me on my toes.  Can you tell he has a stash of facial expressions?  I love photographing this boy!  We ended up decorating a tree at the tree farm we named, Charlie.  The truth is, I really get to play with my job and it's hardly a job at all.  Isn't he cute? Leave them …

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 …

Highlights: Northern Virginia Photographer

Suffice it to say, I have been busy!  In a very good busy kind of way :)  I have had so much fun the last month and this month is proving to be equally great.  Last month, between foot massages and catching sleep when I can, I was able to capture 4 beautiful weddings, and this month, I get to capture 5 weddings.  And what I love about these weddings is that all of them are different and unique.  This week, I get to capture a Southeast Asian wedding that I am totally excited about.  You just …
