These are some of my favorite people (I think I say that every time I post their images). I’ve worked with them since this dude was a newborn. It’s been YEARS! They live down the road in the same general area as us so we run into each other just out in public and I...
Fathers day is right around the corner and I know that I, for one, struggle with what give to give to both my dad and my husband (from our kids). I thought I’d put together a quick list of some neat photo ideas that you can do for your dads! Some you can even DIY...
It always seems that all my newborn sessions land in the winter and spring which is the perfect offset to the the fall family portrait rush. Being a Loudoun County family photographer means I get to indulge in all facets of a young family’s life – from baby bump, to the baby, and then beyond....
You guys! I never got around to sharing these awesome photos from last fall! Going through my draft blog posts and this was sitting there and it’s too good not to share! These beautiful people are my neighbors. We met when I put a call out for a maternity model years ago (when that little...
I’m still catching up on last summer’s sessions so this little bump is actually 9 months earthside by now (and so dang cute). But, this past summer I had a new gown for my client closet and talked my co-worker and friend into modeling for me (because, well, she was a model for a while...
I love love love newborns! They’re some of my favorite sessions to do but I don’t do a ton. Because their arrivals are so unpredictable, I don’t book more than 3 or 4 a month to allow for maximum flexibility. I first met Luke’s mom thru a friend when she modeled some new maternity gowns...
I thought it might be interesting to walk through a typical in-home newborn session with some behind the scenes photos! Most sessions follow this order but because we’re working with newborns, the name of the game is flexibility (and patience!) It starts before I even arrive! For in-home sessions I have to plan ahead and...
I’m incredibly lucky to have such a beautiful photo location right next to my house (literally, it’s a 5 min walk) and it has such yummy evening light (morning light too actually). This year I opted to do a bank of fall mini’s at the lake in addition to my normal ones out in Hamilton....
This one is a little bit of a different Tutorial Tuesday! This one is for our new mommas!!! When I was breastfeeding my munchkins I had two distinctly different experiences. With Noah I was a first time mom with a baby that had a terrible case of jaundice and a supply that just never came...
Prepare for a complete overshare because 1. he’s mine and 2. I couldn’t pick just a few to share. This was so much fun to do! Sure, I had to bribe him mini golf and Starbucks but hey, you do what you need to do. I was looking for a different option than just fields...
