Little Girls

I shot an adorable pair of sisters over the weekend at their home. We hoped to go outside but the weather was very wet and dreary unfortunately. The mom & dad were so cute with their daughters and it was easy to see the loving bonds between all of them. The oldest little girl is 19-months-old and the baby is just 5-months-old. Two of my favorites are below and here's a couple more.

This is my favorite solo shot. I have no idea why it's so funny but I crack up whenever I see this picture; it's so cute.

I thought this picture was so precious of dad & his daughter:

Kids Soccer + Relaxation

This weekend I was in Fredericksburg, Virginia, an old Civil War town, beautiful and quaint and about an hour south of Washington, DC. There was a St. Patrick's Day soccer tournament taking place in one of the many parks in area.

This particular boys team was planning to advance to the championship game of their division. Unfortunately they lost to their opponents and went home early, but they did give me some great action shots to capture.

While also in Fredericksburg, I stayed at a cozy little bed & breakfast, the Inn at Olde Silk Mill, right on the border of Old Town. It had antique furniture galore plus a beautiful grand staircase entrance. The room was small and the floors creaked with the slightest movement but the place was incredibly relaxing and charming. Here's one of my favorite shots from the room:

Happy 1st Birthday Athan!

I've chronicled Athan's entire life - from the day he was born until now - with various photo shoots every few months. It's been a real pleasure following him through photography and I've loved every minute. Kids grow so fast their first year and it's really neat to view their progress through pictures.

Here's all the shots from Athan's birthday party with a couple of my favorites below.

I got there a little early and caught Athan waking up from a mid-morning nap. He's displaying his cuddly behavior with his mama in this shot.

Impromptu Baby Shoot

My friend Meredith was in town this past weekend with her 4-month-old bundle of joy, Gavin. With those big eyes and adorable little features, how could I not take pictures of him. Gavin is a happy little baby and the bond between mom and baby is undeniable, which I tried to capture in these shots.

Baby on Board

Angela's baby shower was hosted at the Liberty Tavern in Arlington, Virginia over the weekend. The girls got together for a fantastic brunch and showered Angela with lots of baby stuff. Her little girl is due in the beginning of April.

Liberty Tavern was a little dark and Angela sat right in front of the bright window so I got to fool around with more of the manual settings on my camera for these shots. I did several black and white shots to add to the timelessness of the day and tried to capture the joyful emotions of Angela's friends having a good time.

The full set is available here.
