August is One!

Looking up at his mama

That dimple is just the cutest!

Such gorgeous baby blues

Baby August was the perfect little model for my new antique bath prop!

Handsome Harrison

I feel like I just took this handsome fella's newborn pics yesterday, seriously how is he already 6 months old? I love seeing how much he's changed since our last session, I mean could he be any more charming? I don't think so!

Baby Harrison

I'd like to introduce you to Harrison, isn't he handsome? What a joy is was to work with this sweet boy, I just love all his squishiness! 

Daddy works in law enforcement so how adorable was his knit police hat and bloomer? You can find it on etsy at https://www.etsy.com/shop/MadhatterknitsCo. 

Pretty as a princess

I had a great morning with my own little princess.  She's usually hard for me to capture, guess wearing her gorgeous Anna gown does the trick!  Hello beautiful, how adorable is she?  I'm loving her sass too!!

Back at work!!

I'm back at it, and here's the reason why I took a little time away from my passion of photography.   I'd like to introduce you to my littlest one Eleanor, we call her Ellie!  She was born exactly on her due date, perfect timing on her part.  She is such a blessing to our family of five, the girls officially rule the house now!  I look forward to booking a session with you soon!!

Family of three expiring soon!

Look at this adorable family of three, soon to be family of four!!   I was able to meet up with them real quick before baby sister arrived a few weeks later to capture these sweet moments. Stay tuned for the adorable pics of baby Emily hitting the blog soon.

A day at the stables

I was so excited when my last client mentioned she would like to have her photo session done with her horse Zaeli.  I had no idea what to expect since this was my first up close experience with a horse, and I couldn't be any happier with how beautiful the entire session turned out.  Zaeli is a Belgian Warmblood and truly is one of God's most beautiful creatures.  I had such a great time photographing Zaeli's owners as well, you sure can see the love they have for one another and for Zaeli.  

Cherry Blossoms in DC

Spring has finally sprung!  This past Sunday I had the pleasure of capturing some beautiful family portraits up in our Nation's Capital.  Between the Marathon and the crowd of spectators we were able to capture some gorgeous shots of this beautiful family of three.​  How adorable is this family?

Is it spring yet?

Technically yes it is but it sure did not feel like it here in VA today, it's snowing! ​So what better opportunity to take a Spring photo shoot of my own kids!! 

Milestones with My Own

This past weekend my girlfriend and her sweet baby girl came over for an afternoon of play and dinner. I'd just received new backgrounds, so we decided to test them out with our very own favorite subjects--the kiddos! We had fun shooting Avah's five month shots then trying to wrangle my 2-year-old Gracie for her 2nd birthday pictures. I love how this shot of Grace captures not only her innocence, but her sassy personality that's emerging as she grows up. And then my original model, Wyatt, popped in to see what the girls were up to and I captured this adorable shot of him looking much too mature for a 5-year-old. Doesn't he look like a future doctor? ​

Awaiting Baby Adelynn

I had the pleasure of shooting this sweet family as they awaited the arrival of baby Adelynn. Big sister Kayleigh was so excited and we captured lots of adorable shots. Can't wait to see this family grow from three to four!

A Little Festive Family Fun

It's that time of the year again! My family so kindly went along with my requests for our very own Christmas photo shoot. What do you think?

A beautiful family.

I spent the day Sunday shooting some good friends who also happen to be a beautiful family. They were a blast to work with and we captured some really great shots for their Christmas card.
