New Nephew – Perfect Boy | Washington DC Baby Photographer
Here is my most perfect nephew. Oh, how I love him. He is 6 days younger than baby H! Cousins that will have so much fun together – I just think of them being mischievous when they are 6….I cant get much beyond that because I look forward to their little giggles when they are hiding something from my sister and me….I am anticipating good old fashion mischievous behavior…little rascals..Dennis the Menace….
Isn’t he gorgeous? He was born to beautiful, loving and wonderful parents. A happy family they are….
Dreamy Fields of Purple | Washington DC Photographer
We were just driving along in the English countryside and came upon this…..
I dream of having this in my backyard so every shoot could take place here! Can you imagine a better backdrop? Children would love to frolic in this dreamy field of purple.
Introducing Baby H (finally) | Washington DC Photographer
Baby H arrived at the beginning of June and I am now just getting things together…..or so I am trying! He is perfection and we fall in love with him more each day. I will try not to share too many photos. Here are some from when he was 5 days old – he has since gotten bigger and chubbier! yay!
Very Loved, Very Blue | Washington DC Photographer
This little girl is the youngest of three – All of these girls are beautiful and have the most captivating huge blue blue sparkling eyes!!
I hate to single out the baby, but, I just love these shots of her and her mama (beautiful mama, too!)!
Being the youngest she, of course, is very loved. I will post some of her with her big sisters when I finish editing the shoot, but I had to post these now. How sweet is she?
My New Friend | Washington DC Photographer
I have been the worst blogger lately. Between spring sessions and preparing for baby H…not much extra time or energy.
I just have been so taken with my friends new baby! He is precious.
More of him to come, but I had to share this one because I love this one of him and his mommy – I feel like I could stare at it for hours…..
I Heart Faces | Week 13: Dramatic B&W
This week’s contest on the I Heart Faces website is “Dramatic B&W”. I have been thinking about this particular photo the whole day b/c this photo is just full of happiness, joy and love.
My absolute favorite photographer in the whole world, Tara Whitney, is the judge of the contest this week….I am slightly obsessed with her and stalk her blog…she is an amazing photographer and writer. I think one of the reasons she is such an amazing photographer is b/c she loves people and sees the beauty in everyone…she has a good soul. She inspires me.
Spring Mini-Sessions! | Washington DC Photographer
I am really excited to be announcing my first mini-session date!
Please contact me to set up your time and feel free to email/call with any questions. You will find some general Q&A below.
What should we expect from our mini-session?
30-mins of fun! We will play around the garden, smell the flowers, peak in the beautiful gazebo and have a good time. As always with my photos, the sessions are not full of set-up, posed shots. Please feel free to bring your favorite game or activity, a picnic lunch or a yummy snack!
How are mini-sessions different from a full photo shoot?
A full photo shoot is usually an hour to two hours in length and I come to you or we decide together on a location. Mini-sessions are held at a specific location and are only 30-mins in length. You receive 10 photos in an online password protected gallery, where as with a full shoot you receive about 40 – 50 in an online password protected gallery. You also get a free 8×10 and two digital prints (of your choice) from a mini-session – great value! As with any session you are able to place orders online and I am happy to provide as much assistance in ordering (and decision making) as you would like
Do you have a limit on how many children or family members can be involved in a mini-session?
Families with more than two children will pay an additional $25 per child for a mini-session. If you have more than two children it might be a good idea to book two mini-sessions in a row.
What if it rains or the weather is bad on the day we have scheduled our mini-session?
In case of bad weather the mini-sessions will be rescheduled
What should we wear?
The most important thing is that you are comfortable and that you can play and sit on the grass comfortably. Bright and deep tones are always a nice choice for clothing. Bright colors like pinks, yellows and blues really pop against the green grass. White and green clothing would not be optimal. Stay away from clothing with logos, big designs and or photos/pictures. Textured fabrics such at denim, knits, linen and eyelet dresses photograph beautifully. I usually tell families not to wear fully matching outfits, coordinating your clothing and colors looks excellent, but not fully matching.
The Happiness Project | Washington DC Photographer
While we were on vacation I picked up the book called, The Happiness Project. It was hailed as similar to Eat, Pray, Love one of my all time favorites, so I thought I would like it. The author, Gretchen Rubin writes about her year of trying to live happier, while not an unhappy person, she just wants to see if she can appreciate life a bit more. Each month she tackles a different aspect of what she thinks brings her happiness. I have really enjoyed reading it and it has inspired me to do some of the same things she does – like organize and de-clutter, act the way you want to feel, take time to be creative and so on. During the book she is working on starting a blog and vows to blog everyday – now there is one I need to adopt!
The book and blog might be inspirational to you too! Check it out: http://www.happiness-project.com/
While we are on the top of happiness …..here is one of the things that brings me the most happiness….the mountains. I may live in the city and not get to the mountains a lot….but there is nothing that brings me the same feeling as when I am in the mountains. This photo esp. b/c it is from my amazing engagement weekend in Colorado.
