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.

Falling behind in my blog posts again…
Here’s the first from a few sessions that I did at the Franciscan Monastery for the holidays with the K Family. Check out how much little brother Adam has grown since last year.

Like most schools in the area, my son’s preschool holds an annual fundraising auction. What better way for me to help in the effort (and help my son in the process) than to donate a gift certificate for a photo session and lovely gallery wrap. In an amazing coincidence, the family who won the certificate (who are from Maryland and are parents to the lovely school-aged girl below) happen to be good friends with another of my fave clients (who live in Virginia and are parents to a one-year old) and bid on my session without realizing that I was the same photographer who had photographed their friends. It must have been fate!
Last Saturday evening at the appointed time, we had just enough of a break in the hot, steamy weather (if you can count a drop in humidity and a few degrees to the low-90s as a “break”) to proceed. I know Hannah was looking forward to her photo shoot. With tree climbing and bubble blowing, she was a trooper in spite of the heat and the late hour.

My most recent newborn session was with baby Chloe and family. She barely opened her eyes the whole time I was with her, even with exuberant big brother Carson and big sister Camryn right by her side. I was extremely impressed with how calm and collected mom Carese was from the moment I arrived, juggling having all three kids at home for the group photos at the beginning and then getting the older two off to school and a play date without seeming the slightest bit frazzled. It was great meeting you all!

I had the pleasure of photographing the lovely H Family last Friday and also of being introduced to a fabulous new location for outdoor sessions. The Franciscan Monastery is probably familiar to anyone who lives in the Brookland neighborhood of Washington, DC, but unknown to those of us who live elsewhere in the city (at least to me). It was a truly beautiful area with lot of different areas including gardens, pavilions, and walkways, that provided a picturesque backdrop for all the images. In a city as small as D.C., it’s nice to still be able to discover some new nooks and crannies.
I haven’t had many opportunities to work with three kids at the same time, and it definitely kept me on my toes. But big sis Faith did an awesome job helping keep her younger siblings Charlie and Rosemary focused and happy. I could use an assistant like her for every photo session!

The last time I saw Gabriel, he was probably no more than 4 months old. His mom Sara and I met at the Breast Feeding Center when our sons were infants. Now, more than two years later, it was nice to get reacquainted and also, to meet little sister Sofia. Like many second children that I’ve photographed, she was super mellow and even tolerated some chilly weather so we could get some nice outside images.

Catching up on my last session before Thanksgiving. There were so many great images from this session that is was difficult to choose what to post here. Isabella was an enthusiastic model, and eventually, little brother Kellen warmed up too. It was great working with mom, Paola, who is an interior designer and owner of Creative Elegance Interiors and has a great instinct for color. We talked about coordinating clothing colors during our planning consultation and I knew Paola would come through with something creative that looked great without having everyone wear matching shirts

Holiday mini-sessions were quite a whirlwind. It’s always a little thrill to see some of the same kids from previous sessions when, at this stage of their lives, even a few months makes a huge difference in their development. Thankfully the weather cooperated, which is always a big risk with outdoor sessions at this time of year. The one frustrating thing about mini-sessions was limiting my time with each family to only 30 minutes. I wish I could have spent more time with everyone!

My college roomie, Pauline, and I have been friends for over 18 years. Over those many years, we’ve only lived in the same area twice (not including the four years that we shared a small room at school). Happily, we’ve managed to visit each other during those times when we didn’t live close. She drove through Pensacola when I was in flight school on her way to San Diego and I drove through Tuscany to visit her when she was living in Levorno, Italy. And now after several years on the West Coast, she and her family are back living in my neck of the woods! It’s been great to see each other on a regular basis and have our kids get to know each other. We had a little photo session the last time they came over and at long last, here are the images!
