A long overdue post Busy times of year mean less chitty chatty posts… and more pure picture posts! Aren’t these guys the cutest little boys ever?

Some long overdue sneak peeks from our session! Almost 2 Big Sister wasn’t as into me and my camera as she was her “TV Shows”, but we managed to sneak her in a few!

I have been lucky enough to capture this little lady three times in the last 8 months! She is at such an adorable age– all smiles and so excited about everything. She did get a little mad at me toward the end– I think she was through with being dolled up and stuck in baskets– but I love that little face, too!

Enjoy!

There is always a little stinker… | Leesburg Virginia Child Photographer

There’s always a little stinker in the group! I can always count on at least one of my children being less than cooperative during picture time, so I can commiserate and find humor during sessions when there is one child who either wants to be silly, pouty, or uncooperative during a session. After all they are children, and part of what makes them unique is their personalities. Many times I look back at photos of my children where one is doing something that was undesirable at the time and smile… because I remember them just the way they were in that moment. Isn’t that what its all about? (P.S. Can you guess who was fond of saying “No” to everything during our session? LOL! I think we managed to surprise him a few times and he may have stolen the show!)

This beautiful little princess slept like a champ and just happened to be the 1st of a series of marathon sessions I did last week! I’m finally getting some time to post the results! Enjoy!

A little break from the September gloom! | Leesburg Virginia Child Photographer

After what seems like 40 days and 40 nights of rain and gloom, there were moments over the weekend when the sun peeked out– but most importantly it was dry enough to get back to the business of outdoor children’s photography! Hooray!

Honestly at 24 weeks, my belly is almost as big as this expectant mama’s! Yes this is my 4th baby and her first….but WOW! When she told me that she was 37 weeks, I was a little nervous! By 37 weeks in all of my pregnancies; my face was swollen, my belly was huge, and I lumbered around like an elephant! Doesn’t she look amazing?

Thank you again to my friend (and amazing photographer), Andrea Hallett, for scoping out location and bringing awesome props! I love this girl!

Sleepy at 3 weeks! | Capitol Hill Newborn Photographer

An emergency pushed our newborn session from 10 days to almost 3 weeks… and I have to tell you, I was a little nervous that she might not sleep well. She proved me wrong, thank goodness! She was the perfect little angel– enjoy!

And we can’t forget Big Brother!

Spunk! | Alexandria Virginia Newborn Photographer

I was so excited to hear that this family was adding another bundle to their family. I’ve has so much fun watching baby #1 grow from a cute little newborn to a gorgeous little girl! When I first walked in for the session, Big Sister was playing shy… but it didn’t take long for her spunky side to come out. I love it, don’t you? I don’t think she got the message that her little sister was the star of the show, because those beautiful (and mischievous) blue eyes were trying to steal it! Both little girls were troopers and I hope Mom and Dad enjoy these sneak peeks!
