Tiny

July 6, 2010

I love teeny little newborns. This little guy was still under 6 pounds and gave us such an easy time with his first photo session. :-)

Thanks to mom, dad, and grandma for a very relaxed shoot – congrats again, and enjoy your preview!

SO Smiley!

June 30, 2010

It’s so great when a session just goes like clockwork – and this was one of those sessions.

Throw in the fact that this little kiddo is the grandson of  a friend, and it’s all the better…

What a smiley little guy – a perfect session!
Thanks, guys – here is your preview -

This was a great repeat session with a family whose little boy I photographed as a newborn. Now he is the big brother, and a very proud one, at that! Love shooting in this home, such pretty light! Here’s a quick peek while I finish up the gallery – thanks, guys!!

Family Celebration

May 22, 2010

This was such a happy session. This extended family had gathered to celebrate a former Flashes of Hope participant who is now beating cancer!

So – 31 people, including tons of kids, a dog or two, party remnants including tons of gorgeous flower bouquets = a happy session on a beautiful property with a joyful family. What could be better! Enjoy the preview, the gallery is coming soon.

Growing Up, DC-Style

April 25, 2010

Those that know me know that I LOVE my city. I only wish I had taken the time to appreciate it more when I was younger!  I am always thrilled when high school students choose to do their senior portraits in the District. We had to battle the wind a bit for this session, but the light was beautiful and the final result was great. Nothing better than a job where you spend your time walking the reflecting pool between the Washington Monument and the Lincoln Memorial! Enjoy the preview, the gallery will be done soon!

Snowmageddon 2010!

February 8, 2010

Helllllo out there from snowy snowy snowy DC…
Snowmageddon, SnOMG, Snowpocalypse, Snowtorius BIG… call it what you want, we got a LOT – and I mean a LOT – of snow. We are currently on day four of house arrest, and while folks have started to hit the roads a bit, I don’t think my rental Yaris is even as tall as the drifts. Not to mention, I have already gotten a call from one friend today who was stuck in our own neighborhood. Think we will just lay low a bit longer. Of course, I did venture out to take some photos. The snow is SO deep that the kids don’t even seem to want to play in it for very long – it’s up to Maddie’s chest, and the boys’ thighs. All in all though, there is something about a historic snowfall that is just cool. Our area hasn’t seen this much snow in 90 years, and it’s doubtful we’ll see it again any time soon!

Editorial Portfolio Work

January 11, 2010

As much as I LOVE my job, and love meeting new people, and photographing babies, children, and families, sometimes I get a bee in my bonnet to shoot just for ME.  So over the holiday season, I decided to do some work for my own editorial portfolio. I gathered my trusty models, called in some antique cars, and shot in my own style for two days.
Here are a few favorite images:

Little Brother

January 10, 2010

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.
