I love spring sun dresses … especially when they are worn with such treasured enjoyment! And look at these party shoes! How sweet. This photograph was taken at a child’s first birthday party out near Falls Church, VA. You’ll see the birthday boy pics soon, but this one grabbed my attention. Ms. Fashion was so sweet and I loved snapping a few impromptu photographs of her alone and with her brother.

It’s always best to photograph newborns within the first couple weeks of life when their little bodies are still moldable! That’s not to say you can’t get great shots several months after birth … they are just different! Here are a few cute ones from a recent session (Okay - they are from March! I’m way behind in my blogging).

I spent the afternoon with Mr. Handsome. Behind the black and white are the biggest blue eyes I’ve ever seen. Actually, I’ve seen them before on this little guy in December when we were taking holiday photos. Today we were shooting more photographs for keepsakes and for his special birthday invitation (check back in a few weeks for the finished product).

Although quite a few of the cards I create are during the holidays, I also design birthday invitations, birth announcements and thank you cards. These personalized cards can be created with photographs from a Signature Photo Session or images you submit. I love the feedback my clients share with me after they’ve sent out their cards! Let me know if there’s something I can design for you!

Have a great week everyone!

BUT … you’re not going to get smiles out of me very easily! I could read his mind. He smiled with his eyes and every once and a while gave me a little smirk. What beautiful big blue eyes and such a calming nature. I love photographing this little one …

It’s a week before Christmas and I’ve finally caught up on all of my holiday sessions! They were so much fun this year as many of the families I’ve photographed before and was able to see how their children have grown through the year. There were also several new families who added so many new smiles to my season. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to capture those memories for you!

I wanted to share a few of the images that have be spreading holiday joy …

Photographs make wonderful holiday gifts for your family and friends. Mom arranged to have these photos taken of her son and the family boxer as a gift for her husband. We laughed as we were shooting as everyone expected the older boxer to be the easy one to position, BUT it turned out she was so excited to have her picture taken she could hardly sit still! I think Dad is going to be very surprised when he opens this gift from his two babies …

Mommy and Daddy were overjoyed with the arrival of Baby K.! I was elated too, as I was able to take some of the first photographs of the little bug. I met the couple at the hospital after the birth and then a few days later for a home session. I like to photograph newborns within in a few weeks of birth when they are alert, but still tiny and less wiggly!

And here are a couple from home where I finally was able to capture a few with his eyes open …

Such a little wrinkle, isn’t he? Adorable. I’m looking forward to watching (and photographing!) him as he grows …

THANK YOU!
