Just wanted to post a recent favorite taken just before all the hair was chopped off. We kept waiting for the baby curls to emerge as his hair grew long again, but alas it looks like the curly days are gone and the bangs were just getting in the way.

I wanted to share photos from a fun project I worked on a few of months ago with Pleasance Silicki, the founder of Lil Omm yoga studio. I first met Pleasance almost three years ago when we were both new moms with new small businesses and we became friends as our personal and professional paths kept crossing. Since we serve a similar clientele, it only seemed natural to find ways to collaborate. So when Lil Omm moved to their current digs at 4708 Wisconsin Avenue NW, we decided to team up to make large scale prints to decorate the new space. Pleasance suggested inviting several yoga instructors to participate in the photo shoot so that the images would represent the big family of adults, kids, and even pets that is Lil Omm. Below are some of my faves. I’m so thrilled with how the whole project came out and to have my work featured there.
Lil Omm started out as a place where families (and more specifically moms and kids) would be welcome to practice yoga, take classes, and find community. It continues to expand its offerings with Pleasance working tirelessly to make Lil Omm an extraordinary resource. Go check out Lil Omm and see for yourself what an amazing place it is!

It was my honor to photograph August, the newest member of a family that I’ve had the great pleasure to get to know over the past couple of years through our several sessions together. I always thoroughly enjoy spending time with the family and being a witness to their blossoming brood. The similarities between August and his big sister Vivienne when she was a newborn is absolutely striking!

There is no question that the blossoming cherry trees around the Tidal Basin are beautiful to behold, but each year during the peak season when the Cherry Blossom Festival takes place, I’m overcome with lethargy by the idea of battling crowds and traffic to see them in person. Yet, whenever I actually do get to photograph during the very short peak period, I am so grateful that I’ve had a reason to compel me to be there.
With DC’s wacky weather this year, the cherry blossoms peaked very early in conjunction with almost a full week of cold rain until one lone sunny Friday followed by predictions of a rainy weekend. Luckily, that was the day that my session was scheduled with Christina, Bryan, and kids Emma and William. Last time I saw William he was only 6 months old. Now he’s an active three year old with sweet 8 month old sister Emma. We did manage to find our own tranquil spots, surrounded by the magnificent sea of pink blossoms where it was easy to forget the hundreds of other people milling about just out of view.

I still have some sessions from 2012 that I didn’t get a chance to post yet. Even though all of these clients have seen their images, it’s always nice for anyone who’s curious to be able to look through the blog and see all the kids I photographed represented. So, without any further ado, here are Arabella and Walt and their lovely parents!

When I first met Benjamin’s parents, they described their little guy as a super smiley baby. On the day of our session, it was clear he wasn’t his usual cheerful self and we decided to call it quits a bit early. His mom told me later that he spiked a high fever shortly after we wrapped up. Even though I knew we captured some lovely pictures of him that morning, I didn’t want mom and dad looking back at the images only to be reminded of how sick Benjamin was that day. So I came back a couple of weeks later for a redo. Sure enough, he proved to have one of the best smiles of any baby I’ve ever photographed with a huge grin in every single picture. Actually the selection of images below are a mix from both the first and second takes, but I don’t think anyone but mom, dad, and me can tell which ones are from the day he wasn’t feeling well.

I last saw Vivienne for when she turned one. She continues to be an absolute joy to photograph. This was another great session at the Franciscan Monastery. I’m so excited that I’ll have some more opportunities in the coming months to see her with the impending arrival of a new baby brother or sister!

What better way to make good use of a tuxedo purchased for a wedding that would otherwise never be needed again: holiday photos! Another fun session at the Franciscan Monastery with Tyler, one of my favorite subjects.
