Cute little Kate! ~ Alexandria, VA Newborn Photographer

Two weekends ago I had the pleasure of meeting a little princess….her name was Kate! She was such a sweet little peanut and I truly enjoyed getting to know Mom & Dad (one of the best parts of my job is getting to know new families). Trooper the dog even got in on the action! Thank you Mom & Dad for welcoming me into your home and thank you for being so patient waiting on your sneak peek!

Last weekend I had the pleasure of photographing these two adorable angels. Grayson and Jackson were born prematurely 4 months ago but just recently were able to come home from the hospital. I tell you after talking to Mom & Dad I learned that these two little ones are fighters. I know that they say twins share a special bond and I know that will definitely be true of these two! Mom and Dad – I enjoyed getting to know you both and I hope you know how much I adored your teamwork in caring for your precious little ones. I feel so honored that you asked me to capture this special time! I hope you enjoy the sneak peek!

Welcome to this World Nathan! ~ Arlington Newborn Photographer

This past weekend I had the privilege of capturing baby Nathan just a couple of days after he arrived home from the hospital. I could not wait to meet him and apparently he could not wait to meet his loving family….he decided to make his appearance a couple of weeks early! I first met Mom & Dad almost 3 years ago when I shot their maternity session and then newborn session for their first born, David. When Kristin contacted me to let me know she was expecting again, I was so excited for them! I love getting to know my clients at shoots but even more I love following them as their family grows. The fact that Kristin and Al again asked me to capture this special time in their lives means the world to me. I loved getting to catch up with you both! David is a handsome little two year old full of energy and little Nathan is absolutely adorable!

Oh and check out some of Nathan’s adorable nursery below. The Very Hungry Caterpillar is one of my all time favorite books. When I walked in the and saw his nursery, I was over the moon! Mom and Dad I hope you enjoy this sneak peek. The rest is soon to follow!

xoxo… Beth

This was a much anticipated session for me… I feel like I have shared in so many special moments in this family’s journey. I came to know Mom & Dad when I shot their engagement and wedding. To say it is an honor that Tara & Brad selected me to capture the next step in their journey as a family is an understatement! I cant say it enough…I love my job!

Sooooo…DRUMROLL PLEASE….. Check out sweet baby COLTON! He is absolutely perfect!

I love the shots of him in the crib. It was the first time Mom played the Cat in the Hat Crib Mobile for him….I think he is a fan!

Its Cheer Tyme!

One of my goals this year is to include more of my personal life on my blog. My kids have grown up with a camera in their face and have what I call “photographers child syndrome”. They came to hate having a camera in their face and I actually gave them a break from the camera (other then my camera phone). But in doing so, I realized that I am missing out on capturing my own family’s memories. And capturing my own kids is what actually peaked my interest in the photography business. I have made a resolution to make sure I carry my big bad camera more this year. The kiddos will just have to suck it up and I know they will thank me one day )

My family’s spring break started out with a very busy but fun weekend! This past weekend my oldest daughter Shy’an had a 2-day cheerleading competition in Baltimore, Maryland. This is her first year doing All-star cheer and what a great experience it has been. She cheers for Cheer Tyme in Chantilly, Virginia. I can not say enough good things about the Cheer Tyme Chantilly Family. Cheer Tyme opened this year (although they have 15 years of experience with 2 other locations in Pennsylvania). When we first started I had no idea what to expect. Let me tell any parents that are thinking about putting their kids in All-star cheer that is is very involved and takes a lot of dedication on both your kids and your part, but it is oh so worth it. Shy absolutely loves it. The gym is doing fantastic for their first year and has two teams going to Worlds and three other teams going to the Summit! Shy’s team is a prep team (half year) as we started late to the game and she missed trying out for a full year team. Her team is made up of girls with varying levels of experience and I am so proud of all the hard work and dedication that they have put in over the season.

This competition was called Return to Atlantis and it was truly an outstanding competition. Shy’s team ended up winning their division. They were trailing by a point after day one but pulled out a great routine on day 2 and ended up winning! National Champions baby!!! The girls were so excited as you can see by the shot of their National Champion Backpacks they won )

I know…big cheer bows are a bit much, but I actually have grown to love them.

Shy has awesome coaches…Coach Michelle, Coach Jessica and Coach Jeff – thank you so much for all of your hard work with the girls!

Lunch with Auntie down at the Inner Harbor was a highlight!

Team Embrace – Get is girls!

National Champs – Hearts Up!

Last weekend I met up with Tara and Brad on a freezing cold day to capture some maternity photos. Very soon they will welcome a little baby boy into this world!!! I feel so blessed to be able to share yet another special time in their lives as I also was their wedding photographer also! Can’t wait to meet their little one!

Rachael & Andrew Married! ~ Northern Virginia Wedding Photography

On December 30th, 2012 Rachael and Andrew were married before friends and family in a beautiful ceremony on a beautiful but chilly day. They picked a gorgeous location in Fredricksburg, VA to tie the knot – Fredericksburg Square. I love the classic touches of red that Rachael chose to tie into the holiday season. This was one of the rare weddings that I had not the bride or groom prior to their big day…I usually like to do an engagement session to get to know the couple. But Andrew is in the military and Rachael was finishing up school. I feel so blessed that trusted in me to capture their big day without having met me. They were the sweetest couple and I wish them a long happy life together. Andrew was only home for two weeks. I hope that these pictures will remind them of their time together and make the day a couple of months from now when they can finally be together seem that much sooner!

Adorable Noah ~ Adlie, VA Newborn Photographer

This past weekend I was lucky to meet little Noah and his family. Noah was such a sweet laid back little baby and did great at his first modeling gig. I had a great time getting to know you Mom & Dad and want to thank you for making me feel so welcome in your home! I hope you enjoy the sneak peek of your little handsome man!

Love this one with big Sister Sienna – how sweet!

These pictures are always my favorite – I imagine so much time is spent with Mom loving on her new little one!

And this one was for Dad!

I love that she still had the prick on her heel from being at the hospital.

She gave me a thumbs up! oh yes she did…. )

This weekend I had the privilege of meeting little this cutie pie – Agigail! Abigail turned 1 month old just the other day. She is so cute – just look at the pictures! Mom and Dad – thank you for welcoming me into your home and allowing me to capture this special time for you!
