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!

I’ve had a handful of reminders lately of how small the parenting community of DC is. One occurrence recently was when talking to a new client, Sarah, about planning a maternity session, she mentioned the street she lives on, which happens to be right near where I used to live. She then proceeded to tell me that she’d like to include her 2 and a half year old son in the session, and maybe get some pictures with their beloved nanny as well. Two and a half year old son? I also have a two and half year old son. I ask his name and lo and behold, it’s Gibran! I know him! And I know his lovely nanny too! We were in Miss Amy’s music class together. For months, we went to Mother Goose on the Loose at the Watha T. Daniel-Shaw Library together. And we also frequented all the same playgrounds. It was so nice that Gibran was able to think of me as Sasha’s mom rather than as a random new adult. Looking forward to a second session together when baby brother arrives!

On a hot, steamy evening in July, I met with parents-to-be Leena and Matt. In spite of some quick moving rain showers, always a potential liability at this time of year, we were able to do most of the session outside. Their lovely home was in midst of almost-completed renovations in preparation for the baby’s arrival. It reminded me of my own pregnancy when the nesting instinct kicked in. After my husband’s first attempt to paint the ceiling in the soon-to-be nursery, I resorted to climbing a tall ladder to re-do the work myself in a perfection-driven haze . I swear I was very, VERY careful, but still probably not a wise move. The ceiling, however, did look perfect! I’m sure everything will be just right when this baby arrives too!
