A Summer Baby Boy

Wow, is all I can say! I am so lucky to get to photograph such beautiful families and babies… and in case you are curious, the majority of the photos show faces, but I try to provide some anonymity for my clients on the blog. Have no fear, the star of the show will always appear!

Vacation’s Over…

I’m not sure how much of a vacation it was for me. For the past week and a half, the kids and I have been traveling… in the minivan… thank goodness for DVD players. We visited relatives in Tennessee, Virginia, and Kentucky. It certainly wasn’t Disney World or a trip to the beach… but it was nice to be back “home” for a while. On the downside, my cell phone coverage was horrible and wireless internet was sporadic– I had no service for most of my trip. If I missed a phone call or email, I apologize. I’ll be catching up for a few days.

One of the highlights for the kids was getting to see their Grandfather’s new Beagle puppies. At 3 weeks old, they were just about the cutest puppies… very wobbly on their legs and could fall asleep as soon as they were next to something warm. My kind of subjects, that’s for sure! Here’s one of my favorite photos of 3 of the 4 of them.

Bella Bambina

My Italian stinks, but I think this is the way you say “beautiful baby girl”… and is she ever? I posted a sneak peek of her a few weeks ago… and here’s some more! She’s getting ready to welcome a baby brother. If they only lived a little closer, I’m sure we’d see him on the blog in a couple weeks. Good luck guys!

My Guy!

Sometimes the best photo opportunities come when you least expect it! This one happened by chance as we all went out for a walk around the block. Many of you know that my husband had back surgery last week to help alleviate pressure on a nerve as a result of a herniated disc… wow that was a mouthful. He takes frequent walks and sometimes we keep him company! To give you an idea of how fast his pace is– Jacob thought he could keep up with him on his self-propelled fire engine. I love that he put his Cars helmet on so he could match his older sisters, who were riding their bikes! Anyway, a few photos of my little guy!

Bugs + Sun = Shoot and Run!

Despite the bugs and sun, we were able to snag some gorgeous photos from this session. This historical site in Leesburg, Virginia has just changed policies on photography… so unfortunately I probably won’t be able to go back for sessions very often which is really too bad because it is beautiful!

Love his little scrunchy nose!

I normally wouldn’t include a photo of the breakdown… but the last one was just too cute. If only we all looked that cute when we cried!

And just when he thought he was done… I snap this one in the parking lot before he got into his car. It happens to be one of my favorites from the session!
