Sweet Baby Bean…who’s now 6 | Northern Va Children’s Photographer

 Today is an amazing day for me… my baby Zoe turns 6 years old. This little girl has brought such joy and happiness to my life. Never did I dream that I would be so blessed to have her as my daughter. Zoe is a spitfire, she walks into a room, owns it and puts it in her pocket…she is charismatic, sweet, fun, sassy, daredevil, cuddler, but most of all she is my sweet baby bean girl…..

Happy Birthday my love may today and everyday be all you ever wished for!

Baby Plan Graduate #1 | Northern VA Children’s Photographer

Last year I was trying to figure out a way to really document the first year of clients babies…. so the Baby Plan was born… after a few changes here and there it’s truly been a blessing to my life to know that I get to see some of my favorites every few months (at least 3 x’s a year)…. Mr. P was one of the very first to ‘join up’… I used to work with his mom so being friends was already in place! This little guy is just a simple joy. He is relaxed, laid back and as his mom told me today, she is still so incredibly smitten. I told her that’s what motherhood is all about, I am still smitten every day by my crazy beans…. so Mr. P today graduated into the ‘toddler’ group! But first, you have to see how this little guy has grown since last July!

It’s all in the details | Northern Virginia Wedding Photographer

There is something about the details that I love in all sessions…. those tiny little things that are so easily forgotten but bring back such pure and awesome memories. I love to capture those details at weddings, the little touches that were so important during the planning stages of a wedding yet are sometime so easily overlooked or forgotten the actual day of…. These are all from a recent wedding I photographed (with the help of an amazing photographer and wonderful friend, Taun Henderson (www.taunhenderson.com) was my secon shooter – his images simply took my breath away)…

Venue: Panache Restaurant – Tysons’ Corner

Hotel for preparations – Ritz Carlton Tysons

Thank you again to Ron and Samantha for letting us capture your beautiful wedding!

Sweetest 12 day old | Northern Virginia Newborn Photographer

One of my favorite parts of doing maternity sessions is meeting the little one’s once they are born. Just about 4-5 weeks ago I photographed Mr. C’s mom…..

and now…. the sweetest 12 day old…. Mr. C was simply an angel…. this little guy didn’t even make a fuss as I moved him around and took his picuture for almost 2 hours, and at just 12 days old, he was full of smiles… Big brother B was happy to hang out at the studio…and we were able to sneak some photos with him in them.

and remember the smiles I mentioned above…. look at this face! 
 kids grow so fast that we have to stop long enough to capture the details, the little pieces we will forget so quickly…. I truly believe that photographs stop a moment in time to allow us to relive it over and over again….even as our minds begin to forget, photographs remind us of what used to be…. the details of a newborn are some of my favorites to capture…
