One of the best things about being a family photographer is capturing toddlers in their authentic joy. This little guy was a little unsure at first but his dad remembered he loves seeing pictures of his dog on the phone. That little trick helped him warm up.
I had met this little guy when he was a mere newborn and it was so fun to see him and his parents now that he’s grown. He was all smiles and made taking his picture so fun!
This family had the great idea to do a session in Blaine Alley-one of DC’s most colorful settings! They were dressed perfectly for this setting and all four kids were so easy and fun. I am so glad I was able to have this fun morning with this fun crew.
I have been photographing this little lady since she was a newborn. She was an easy newborn to photograph as she slept the entire time and now as a full blown toddler she wasn’t quite as sleep during her photos. She was full of smiles and energy which makes toddlers so fun to photograph. I loved seeing here and her fun parents again.
I had photographed this little lady when she was only a few months old so it was so fun to see her again this year. She is bright and funny and fast!
I loved seeing this family again. Last time I photographed them, this big three year old was only a few months and now I got to meet his adorable little sister. Even though she is only a few months old, she was already a great little photo subject cooing and smiling at her dad. Her big brother continues to shine.
This little guy was turning one and his mom wanted to capture some photos. While I normally only do newborn sessions indoors, this was so great in their beautiful well-lit living room in Arlington. This guy was all smiles and had his 4 grandparents ready to celebrate him as well. Happy 1st Birthday!
This session could not have gone better. An adorable baby and beautiful scenery in Alexandria made for a fun morning. Yes, it was freezing but they were tough and we got these great shots to make it all worth it.
I loved seeing this family for a second year. This time they brought their new puppy. As someone who is experienced with toddlers, puppies require some of the same patience (but not the silly faces!). Like their human brothers, these dogs did great and it is such a nice treat to photograph big kids.
One of my favorite afternoons from this fall. This guy is even more fun this year-full of smiles and belly laughs. His parents were great sports considering it was a pretty cold day. We were still able to get some wonderful pictures of the three of these special people.
