This session was a gift from the new mom’s best friend who lives out of state. I am so so glad that she stumbled on my site and chose me for this session! I loved this family and can only hope that I can continue to photograph their little guy in NYC after their move! Mom has the coolest job – but I think I am going to let her tell you about that when I launch a “meet the clients” blog feature later this week. Stay tuned for more, and enjoy the preview!!

This little guy… what can I say?! Isn’t he gorgeous!? Just like his mom. I photographed him as a newborn, and the best part of this job is getting to photograph kids as they grow up. Mom wanted to document the special relationship that they have with her parents, so we took a stroll through the Battlefield for some special portraits for her birthday treat!
Here is a preview of our session – SO great to see you guys!!
What a great newborn session! This little guy was almost 5 weeks old – but born early, so his due date was only this week. This made for photos of a very small baby with VERY wide eyes and real eye contact. I love that! Throw in a couple of wonderfully laid back parents and their happy little grinning pug dog, and they were just a joy to work with. Of course, I had to take a moment to get over my jealousy of the fact that they live RIGHT by Eastern Market!!! Just kidding, of course – but I could live vicariously in that neighborhood and be very very happy. At any rate, here is a preview of our session – thanks for a great day!

This is the second little boy I have photographed for this family at approximately the same age. They look so much alike! I wish I had thought to take a shot of the framed images of his big brother on the wall at their home to compare. Adorable boys.
This was a great session – such a happy little guy! Thanks for a great morning, your gallery is coming soon.

What a great newborn session! This little one was so peaceful – no crying, no fussing. OK, maybe once when we undressed her – but she was an angel. Also loved that they brought their Mastiff in for a photo op! What a great juxtaposition – that great big dog and teeny little baby girl. Loved it! Thanks for a great session, Mom and Dad! Gallery is coming soon.

So I have had to split my fall minis into multiple sessions – but actually, I am liking doing them two at a time. And yesterday I had the first two of the fall promo minisessions. Both repeat/awesome clients. Zero stress, awesome kids, awesome parents. The best!
If you are interested in booking a holiday minisession, email me at rdavid@rdavidphotography.com. $300 includes 30 minutes of shooting, all post-processing, and one full-res file with reproduction release. This is the perfect way to get a session and full res file for your holiday cards at a deeply discounted price.
Enjoy the preview!
After offering a preview of this session to some friends, more than one person commented that this little one looks like Brad and Angelina’s Shiloh.
And if she WAS being stalked by paparrazi, this little girl would be hamming up to the crowds, I have no doubt! She was an angel – smiley, happy, easy-going. An all-around easy job – and I have to brag for a minute and let everyone know that she actually belongs to our friends, John and Angi – not BRAD and Angi. 
Enjoy the preview!
One of the benefits (okay, likely the ONLY benefit) to the days getting shorter is that I find myself being able to shoot at an earlier hour. Not having to wait until 7pm for nice light does open up the schedule a bit, I must admit.
This session went like clockwork, and the girls were just amazingly well-behaved. Mom and Dad, here is your preview!
Full gallery is in the works.
This would be the first session this season where I would say I actually felt like it was fall. A little nip in the air, an absolutely ADORABLE baby girl in tights and a sweater dress… I actually started feeling a bit of excitement about the changing seasons (and I have a hard time saying goodbye to summer!) So, as I prepare to switch modes into “full-on fall 09″, I have a little preview of the session that kicked off the season – enjoy!!
This session was fun for me, because it was a location that I have not previously used for a portrait session. Beautiful DC military base and patriotic clothing, on the client’s wedding reception site! A location that they wanted to revisit with their adorable triplets. Here is a preview of the session… the kids were so good! I hope they had a great time at the playground when we were done!!
Thanks for a fun morning, friends.
