This little boy is already one. His first year has flown by and his mom wanted to make sure to capture him at this fun and sweet age. He is just on the verge of his first steps so it was fun to watch him explore the beautiful gardens on an early June morning.
This mom found me on instagram and reached out to get photos of her new baby. Because we had already missed the tiny new newborn stage she asked what age I recommend. Whenever people post newborn ask me this I always say 7-8 months. This is when they are usually sitting up independently and can interact more but can not yet crawl and run away. A real sweet spot! I am so glad she waited-I think these are well worth it.
This is my fourth photo session with sweet little B and he brought his A game like he always does. We have tried another DC location but I was glad we came back to these beautiful gardens and he seemed pretty happy too. He was a particularly smiley baby and that seemed to last into his toddler years. Happy 2nd birthday B!
This little girl has always been such a fun photo subject. I captured her as a sleep newborn and then again as a smiley one year old. Just as I had imagined she was still full of smiles and fun. We had a crisp morning at Yards Park and all family members were real troopers!
I loved this photo session. It was the first time I had done a session in Blagden Alley and it is now one of my favorite Washington DC locations for family photo sessions! I lucked out with this sweet family complete with this silly toddler-who was quite excited by every truck and car that came through!
When I talked with this Mom about doing a family session, she suggested her home on Capitol Hill. While I am sometimes hesitant to do an at home family session since many Washington DC Families do not have very big or versatile outdoor spaces, I’m so glad we did this one! We lucked out with a very mild January afternoon and these kids both have killer smiles!
Winter is not usually a popular time for family photos. Winter weather in Washington DC is nothing if not unpredictable. Its often cold and dreary and not ideal for family photos. But by some miracle we got a relatively mild day with one of my favorite families to photograph. They have two boys with big smiles and great curious personalities. Lovely parents too!
I loved this mild December afternoon. This family was so fun-this guy kept us on our toes and entertained throughout our whole session. He had a lot of energy which was so fun to photograph and everyone was a great sport. I love Yards Park for these sessions-this helped make for such a fun hour!
As you’ll see around here, most of my family sessions involve little ones. This means I play a lot of peek-a-boo and do a lot of silly noises-anything to get a big smile! But this session was so refreshing after a packed weekend full of toddler sessions. Older kids don’t require silly noises and this family brought this adorable and well-behaved doodle to keep us all entertained! Thanks for the lovely afternoon.
We lucked out on this November morning. I have photographed this family a handful of times before but never at one of my favorite and most popular locations-Bishop’s Garden in Washington DC. This garden really works in all seasons and is truly one of DC’s best hidden gems. Its always fun to take pictures there-thanks for a fun morning!
