    Baby C & Family

    This session was so special — Baby C’s mama and I lived in the same tiny apartment building several years ago. We were dating our now husbands back then, and it is just the best to be able to reconnect with people to see how life has progressed and how we’ve all grown. Baby C…

  • Newborn: Baby E

    I write this post in silence. Well, minus the air conditioning’s (loud) whisper, the fridge’s humming, the dog licking her paws, and the house creaking when the wind blows. Finally, a comfortable day in NOVA, when the temperature has not risen to 80, in late September. These photos of Baby E were taken and processed…

  • Newborn: Baby W

    Pilar and Jarad invited me to their Leesburg, VA home to photograph an early day with their brand new love, baby W. The morning was filled with the dynamics of baby W’s newborn squeaks, big brother L’s feet on the hard wood and up the stairs, Pilar reading Spanish out loud for L, Pilar soothing…

  • Newborn: Baby R

    I love my drives out to Leesburg; changes of scenery are important for sanity, in my opinion. Driving west every so often is necessary, and this newborn session was the perfect reason. Baby R’s mom and dad are so deeply in love with her. This 4th of July baby had a tummy ache for a…

  • Newborn: Baby N

    Baby N is a beautiful, content, new little guy. “Calm” is the word I chose to describe this family’s home, just a month after N joined his parents. I love speaking with new parents about the transition to becoming a larger family. Even when N’s parents told me about the not-so-glamorous aspects of their new…

  • When she came to this hospital, she was a part of you.

    I try not to share too much of my personal life here; my stories are about you. In honor of mother’s day, though, I’d like to share something. When our children were born, my husband and I were not husband and wife yet. This doesn’t matter, at any time. That’s not what this post is about.…

  • Newborn Hospital Session: Baby V

    There is a distinct feeling in hospital rooms where a new baby is being held (by visitors, by mommy, by daddy). It’s a mixture of excitement and exhaustion, sleepiness and sleeplessness. Allie and Ryan are seasoned parents; so in this room, what was missing was confusion and a hidden streak of chaos. Rooms with newborns,…

  • Newborn: Lorelei, Jerm, L & Baby E

    As a mother, I believe one of the “funniest” things about having a child, whether it be your first or your second, is that even just a day in, you can’t imagine life any other way. Sure, maybe for a little while you remember what it was like to feel well rested and to have…

  • Family: Renee’, Erik, L, C

    We rescheduled this family session a couple of times due to rain in NOVA at the end of October/beginning of November. Even the day we ended up with was drizzly and windy! But, we all agreed to give it a try! I’ve known Renee’ since 1999 when we began singing in chorus (and our high…

  • Family: Shannon, Rick & Alex

    This gorgeous family. What a wonderful job you’re doing already, raising this happy little girl. [huge_it_gallery id=”10″]
