I was traveling home to Atlanta for Thanksgiving this year and decided to lug my camera bag along. I would only do this for a few people, one of which is probably my oldest friend. She has two sweet kids and I was happy to photograph her and her beautiful family. Luckily my husband came along on this particular session which helped getting all the smiles and laughs. I was so glad I got to do this session in Atlanta.
Wow did this family luck out! We decided to meet at a park near their home in Capitol Hill and when we got there, I was immediately drawn to this gorgeous pile of leaves and tree. It almost seemed set up, it was so picturesque! They had their adorable little man who they wanted to capture and I'm so glad this was the weekend we chose. He was a champ-very well behaved and I'm glad I got to capture his curious personality!
This little guy might be Dupont Circle's tiniest resident (for now!). I loved meeting this little guy and his loving parents. He was extremely well behaved-slept almost the entire time despite an outfit change. He was happy as long as he was being held and who can blame him. I loved meeting this little guy and capturing this special time.
I loved this early morning fall session. Little Ms. A was full of personality and wonder. She is one of the best dressed toddlers I have seen (good job Mom!) and her sweaters perfectly complimented her bright red hair. I loved watching her toddle around the park and it was evidence how much her parents adore her. Thanks for letting me capture this special time K family!
This was not my first session with this little boy. But he was definitely more boy now and less toddler than when I met him last year. He has lots to say and lots to explore which made him a perfect photography subject on this beautiful fall morning. I hope his new little sibling is just as fun as he is!
This little boy was so well behaved. Considering how sweet his parents are, he met my expectations. He was very alert for being less than two weeks old and showed off his beautiful blue eyes. And I was even able to capture some sweet (and rare) newborn smiles while he laid on his daddy's chest. I loved meeting baby A and can't wait to watch him grow.
This was a beautiful fall morning in Northern Virginia. And this was a perfect example of how many toddler sessions go. We start off at the beginning and I get a lot of black stares. This little guy was shy and reserved and none of jokes and tricks were working. But after some time (and some tickles) he suddenly opened up and was as playful as ever. And of course, by the time it was time to go home he was ready to play and run! I'm so glad I got to capture so many sides of this little boy!
What is more fun than one giggly adorable and energetic 6 year old? Two giggly adorable energetic 6 year olds! These boys were so much fun to photography. They contagious laughter made us all laugh and I loved their big smiles. They loved to hug each other and put their arms around each other-this was all them. I hope they always stay as sweet and giggly as they are now and their bond is always as strong.
This family was so much fun. From the get go, the mom said they are a more 'candid playing' family and less 'posed everyone look at the camera' family. And she was right. I love working with families who can be themselves and I am just in the background hoping to capture their essence. These kids were both fun and funny. And obviously very loved. I loved capturing the F family and can't wait to watch them grow.
I must admit that a family of 5 is not something I have photographed often. Perhaps its because many of my clients have young children or perhaps because I live in Washington DC. But this was quite the treat. Each of their daughters definitely has their own personality and ideas of what to do in front of the camera. However photographing this family was such a fun way to spend a fall morning and hopefully I will be able to watch them continue to grow into their own wonderful personalities.
