An evening with the R Family in Old Town Alexandria

It’s shoots like these that make me LOVE family portraiture, and emphasize the big difference between a family on-location portrait session, and a Big-Box 4.99 portrait session. I was invited to follow the beautiful R family through an late summer evening of fun in Old Town. I have been wanting to shoot in Old Town for a while, so I was really excited when they said that was a special location to them. The kids fed the ducks, played on their tricycle, took a trolley ride, played near the fountains, climbed stairs, played with sticks and dirt, and had a fabulous time! This is what we mean by the term “lifestyle photography”- capturing moments as they happen, in your element, and without the stress of having to get the kids to stand a certain way and smile. The family is engaged in each other- and who wouldn’t want pictures of your 3 year old running to you for a hug, or your baby girl holding your hand for those early steps? I wish I had those kind of pictures of me as a child! The R family is just a joy to be around- glowing with genuine love and affection. They are headed back to the South where they are from in just a few days, and this was sort of a farewell to DC photo shoot. I am so glad we could squeeze this in before they leave! I will be sad to see them go, but excited for them to return to their family and roots in Texas!

Baby K

My second photo session while home in NY was for my dear friends Nicole and Tim. They had sweet little K in April, and we were able to capture he beautiful smile at 3 months. She is a strong baby girl, and has quite a personality!

I just LOVE her eyes. What a knock-out this little lady is going to be! Watch out John Patrick! My 10 month old would fall over for her

Since my beautiful John Patrick was born in September, I have been doing fewer jobs and focusing on family time. We have really enjoyed our first 5 months together! Just so you don’t think I have packed up the camera, given that my professional blog is so dead these days, I am actually shooting more than ever, just more at home of my sweetie pie! I love having a smiling subject to photograph every day! And, I am even more inspired to do newborn and baby portrait sessions! This is a wonderful gift for anyone you know who is expecting, or has recently had a baby. Hop on over to my personal blog and see my most recent work (and of course, to peak at my little man!) If you’d like to book a family on-location session, please contact me- I am taking new clients!

Mini Sessions {highlights}

Last weekend I had the pleasure of photographing four wonderful families for my holiday mini sessions. We had to change locations at last minute due to the rain, and we ended up at the beautiful National Botanic Gardens in downtown DC. I will be posting some highlights from the different shoots. Thanks to all my families for your flexibility and for a fun day of portraiture! SO many beautiful children in one day!! (Moms and Dads aren’t so shabby either!)
