So Much to Talk About…

I have a few miscellaneous things to post about so here we go….

1) I just wanted to say Thank You!!!

Thank you to my clients who have made my first year in business so fabulous. I enjoyed capturing memories for each and every one of you! It has been wonderful getting to know you and watching your families grow! I feel so blessed to be able to do what I love and just wanted to say thank you so much!! I can’t wait to see you in the New Year :o)

2) I hope everyone had a fun and relaxing holiday with your loved ones. I was so happy my little brother came to town for NYC to spend time with the kiddos and me. We have been running around like crazy but I have enjoyed every minute!  He is out watching the Capitals with J and Grandpa right now.

3) NINE!!! What is nine you are saying? This time of the year is extra special to me. Not only do I have the holidays to enjoy, but also I have the birth of my first child to celebrate. Every year on Christmas I enjoy watching my three kiddos opening gifts, being thankful for the many blessings we have and thinking about the true meaning of Christmas. But most of the day my mind wanders back….. This year it wandered back *NINE* years… on Christmas day 9 years ago I was in labor with my first child - all day! He missed being born on Christmas by 1/2 hour. I just cannot believe that it has been 9 years!  Jalen is such a wonderful kiddo - such a sweet boy - a bit goofy at times like his mom, Lego builder extraordinaire, inquisitive little thing and wonderful big brother to his sisters. I am in LOVE with him. Just wanted to share a snap from his special day!  - Also, I cannot wait for his birthday party at the beginning of January - we are going with a couple of his friends to build our own remote control cars - COOL!

Ok seriously, that might be the only thing that might clue you in to the fact that this is expecting mama is well…. expecting!!! She is sooo tiny at 7 months. I think my belly (with all of my babies) was this big at about 4 months!! Mama looks outstanding! I enjoyed my time with you S and A and I can’t wait to meet your little one!!! I know she will be gorgeous. Oh and thanks for bearing the freezing cold for a couple of minutes for me too!

Little Beauties :o) | Northern Virginia Childrens Photographer

I had a great time with this family on Sunday. Not only are these little ones just gorgeous, I found out that our families had a lot in common (mutual love for Butterscotch the Horse & Smore too!, all things Disney Channel, etc). This was little baby R’s modeling debut and I do believe she has career ahead of her - she is only 5 weeks but had the whole  thing down! Thanks Mom & Dad - I had a lot of fun :o)

Oh how they grow! | Northern Virginia Child Photographer

I love getting to see my clients grow - it is absolutely one of the best parts of my job! Little E was 9 months younger the last time I saw him, but oh… just as cute. At first he was not in the mood for my return visit, but after a while he warmed up to me and we had a great time. Thanks so much M & J - I had a great time (again) with your family :o) Enjoy this sneak peek!
