Baby Michael

I had the honor of doing Baby Michael's first ever professional photo shoot recently. He was unbelievably good--so good that I ended up with nearly 300 images from our session! With Michael being so good, plus the whole family being so darn adorable, I was smiling the whole time editing these images.
Here are a few of my favorites.

Seriously, could he be any cuter?





I love mom and baby pictures :)

He's #1!






See, I told you they were an adorable family!

Rachel, Carrie and Emily

A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of photographing Rachel, Carrie and Emily. Carrie and Chloe have been going to school together since they were little babies--my how time flies! I am the youngest of 3 girls, so it was fun to photograph these sisters and see the dynamic between them. It was the end of the day and I think everyone had a lot of pent of energy and were just generally reaching the point of exhaustion and just being done for the day, which happens with all kids. Despite all the running around, I think we got some really good shots. Here are a few faves.

This was the last event from my backlog of editing, so I am officially caught up (yay!). Now I just have a DVD burning backlog. My burner died a little over a week ago, so I am in the process of burning everything on a back up computer. So, if you are waiting on a cd/DVD from me, I will get it out this week!

The Guerbers

The Guerbers are one of my long time portrait clients and one of my favorite families. The boys are full of energy, but somehow we always manage to get a few keepers. Claire joined the family recently and is soooo cute! We did part of the session inside and part outside--always good for little kids! Here are some of my faves.

Grace

Last week I had a really fun sitting with 1 year old Grace. I've been wanting to try the cake idea for awhile, and finally I had the perfect one year old to do it! Grace was very dainty about digging into her cake, and everytime she tasted the icing, she would say "mmmm!" So cute! I am almost done with my editing, but here are a few of the images so far.

Nancy & Chet

Nancy and Chet are mom and son and it is always fun to see them--Nancy and I used to work together years ago and they have been coming to see me for several years. They were actually one of my first clients! So, it has been really cool to see how Chet has changed and grown over the years. Here are a few of my favorite images from their last session.

Crazy Idea

I have this idea that I want to photograph a couple from enagement, to wedding, to pregnancy, to baby, to family portrait. Is this totally crazy? DC is such a transient area, and though I've kept in touch with several of my wedding couples, none are still in the area who are/have been pregnant. If you're one of my past couples and you're interested, or, if you're just starting out on your search for a photographer and think this sounds like a fun project, please contact me!!
