I met this little guy last year when he was a mere week old! He was sweet and I even got the elusive newborn smile from him so I knew we’d be good friends. I was so happy when his mom contacted me to capture him at this stage following his first birthday. He is now mostly toddler-eager to explore but still with that sweet smile. Happy first birthday to one of DC’s cutest babes!

Family of Four {Washington DC Family Photographer}
I was so glad this mom got in touch with me in August. She wanted to get some family photos of her sweet family of four. These kids were rockstars and were happy to giggle at my silly antics and follow directions. Though I knew I had worn them out when this four year old literally laid on the ground at the end declaring “I’m tired”. That is how every photo session should end!
Five Months in Rock Creek Park {Washington DC Family Photographer}
This sweet mom contacted me saying she was finally ready to do some family photos with their sweet 5 month old baby girl. And based on how happy and cooperative baby S was, I'd say this was a perfect time. She smiled and giggled all morning despite the early morning wakeup. And have you ever seen such beautiful blue eyes! And we all lucked out that we didn't melt from the mid-summer humidity. I loved photographing this sweet family.
Backyard Family Fun {Washington DC Family Photographer}
Usually when a DC family contacts me about family photos, I recommend we do them at a local park. And while that is usually beautiful, this special session in this family's very own backyard was fantastic. It was so fun to incorporate their Petworth home into their family photos. These girls have the best smile and this was such a fun and hopefully pain free morning.
Morning in the Garden {Washington DC Family Photographer}
As you'll see around here, I spend a lot of early mornings in Bishop's Garden. Its so beautiful all year round and relatively quiet which makes it a beautiful place to take family photos. This morning was no exception. These friends are some of my favorite photo subjects and this little girl was full of energy that morning. I was happy to capture her in her two year old glory...and the bribe of chocolate at the end didn't hurt either.
A Beautiful Mother's Day Present {Washington DC Family Photography}
I was so happy when this sweet new dad contacted me. He wanted to get his wife, a first time mom, a special mother's day present. A family photography session is such a wonderful idea. We were able to capture their sweet 5 month old and of course both of them. They are lucky to have such a sweet little girl who put up with hot temperatures and a few outfit changes. Happy first Mother's Day!
A Capitol Family Photo Session {Washington DC Family Photography}
I loved this session for so many reasons. We lucked out with the weather being relatively mild this morning. These two kids could not get any cuter. Big brother stole the show with his antics and little sister was wonderfully behaved just observing. Their parents were wonderful as well and happy to chase after this little guy. This made for a wonderful session with this fun family!
This is Two {Washington DC Family Photography}
This session perfectly encapsulated this two year old. There was lots of movement and distraction and of course lots of giggles as we walked around Yards Park. This little guy loved to look around and explore, walk up and down steps and be tickled by mom and dad. I'm glad we got to capture him at this fun age!
Eight Months Old {Washington DC Baby Photography}
I was so happy when this new dad contacted me with an idea for his sweet wife's birthday-a family photo session of their adorable baby. While he was felling a little under the weather, you couldn't tell with his sweet smiles. I love the colors they dressed in, especially in contrast to the green grass of Rock Creek Park. This is one sweet family.
The Whole Family {Washington DC Family Photography}
I was so happy when an old friend contacted me asking me to take photos of her whole extended family. It is rare that all 4 kids are home in Silver Spring, Maryland and we were able to capture this sweet family in their parents back yard during the few days they were all together. Even Grandpa joined! Despite the looming rain during the entire session and a bunch of different schedules, I am so glad we could capture all of these beautiful people.
