Happy New Years!

A couple minutes into the New Year…. Here is to wishing all of you a great year in 2009!  I am still in disbelief about how quickly 2008 flew by! I cannot wait for all of the exciting times to come in 2009 and all of the wonderful moments I just cannot wait to capture. Tonight I was browsing back through some photos and reminiscing. Well this is just a reminder to EVERYONE to capture those everyday moments. I came across these shots and just absolutely adore them. They are my little just turned 2 year old, AKA “Ms. Independent” eating her applesauce.  And yes she picked the biggest spoon in the drawer… What a gooey little mess she was, but oh how she grew this year. These are the moments I know that I will always look back on and just smile :o)

HAPPY NEW YEARS!!!!

Oh Boy!(s)

LOL - I couldn’t wait to do this session with this family of 3 boys - 7 year old big brother and (almost) 2 year old twins.  Little boys are so much fun - you never really know what to expect (except for the fact they usually will be on the move!) - I should have known they would be a fun laid back bunch of kiddos (Dad was a former coworker and I knew they were a pretty laid back family).  I had a great time D & S - I love that you and your neighbors are so close that they stopped by to check on things :o) 

Hope you enjoy your sneak peek!

 

 

 

 

 

And I loved the expressions on the twins faces in this one…PRICELESS!

Adorable Little Newborn!

Not even Tropical Storm Hannah could keep us (myself and Stacy) from this beautiful little one! Thanks mom and dad for letting us hang out today!

 

…Adoration…

This would be the word I would use to describe the interaction between this family. In my short time with them yesterday, I could see how much Mom & Dad ADORE their little ones. Some of my favorite times during a session are those in-between-times when mom and dad are not paying attention to the fact that I am there at all, they are just taking in the moments with their little ones. These are often my favorite shots from the sessions - I have quite a few from this session as well as many others. Mom & Dad - thank you for letting me spend time with your adorable little ones and I hope you enjoy your sneak peek!

 

Adorable Little Boys!

I really do love this family. One of my first sessions ever was photographing these twin boys - 2 years old - boy were they pistols - LOL! I do believe I spent a whole hour at least chasing them around the park - they were so full of energy. A couple of months later, a little baby brother arrived at the house and I got to visit the family again. Well here it is six months later and I got to go back and visit with this fun family.  Mom and Dad definitely have their hands full with 3 boys. And OH MY this little 6 month old is soooooooooo cute - I just wanted to squeeze him. Mom, when I kept saying that over and over, I meant it in a good way - LOL!!! Here are just a couple from this morning.

And here are just a few of big brothers who turned 3 yesterday - playing with their toy train - Happy Birthday J&A!!!

 

All boys!

I have to say this morning’s session just made me smile. These two little ones were the definition of ALL BOY! For the first half of the session I don’t think they even noticed me because they were having so much fun. Thank you to Mom for letting me drag you and your little ones around Reston & Herndon. If anyone in the area has a free minute, check out Frying Pan Park. One of the goats just had a kid named Broolyn. Take care mom - hope you enjoy the sneak peek.

This is the DEFINITION of BROTHERS to me! I love their interaction :)

 

 

Ballin in Old Town

I was soooo excited to do this session! One of my VERY best friends asked me to do a session for her and her son.  She is one of the kindest, strongest, most generous people that I know.  Little Richie is very good as basketball. I typically would not say to come to a session in basketball gear, but knowing that is such a huge part of his life, I wanted to include it in the session.  He really is Mr. Cool though and had a line up of other outfit changes as well (as did mom) :o)  Love ya! Hope you like the sneak peek!

I love this one!

 

Like any little boy this age, he thought it was hillarioius to “clear the room” - if you know what I mean….

Cutie Pie - Part II

Some of you may recognize this little cutie from a few posts back. The day of our session we ended up with a very short session due to horrible storms that came through the area! Mom even made a 3-block dash to the parking garage in the POURING rain to get the car that day.  Mom and Dad knew I had a few more goodies up my sleeve and were game to doing another shoot. This time we just had to brave the almost 90 degree heat at 8 in the morning!! Well worth it though. Check her out!

 

Oh Happy Days!!!

Well my oldest daughter is completely happy now!

All due to a new do!  She has been begging me for months to have her hair cut. She wanted it to her chin. Anyone that has seen a picture of my daughter will see that is A LOT of curls gone. But she has begged and begged with all her 7 year old heart. Last night I gave in…I started to cut. Really I didnt mean to cut THAT much but by the time i got to the other side of her hair, it was apparent i had gotten shorter and shorter. Well I straightened it out and she couldnt be happier! And that makes me smile :)

So here she is in her newfound glory!!!

Can you tell she loves it??? LOL!

 

 

 

 

 

.Photographer’s Gettogether.

Last weekend I had the pleasure of going to a get together with other local photographers in the area. Willow of Willow Dawn Photography hosted the event. I had so much fun. This was my second time attending one of her parties!! What a hostess she is!!  We hit up a couple of nice spots. Some of us brought our kids. Basically a fun day capturing others kids followed by eating a delicious meal is what it amounts to!

Here are a couple that I have had a chance to edit….
