Christopher

I have known Christopher for about a year and half now. He’s one of the kids that frequents all the same spots as my son and I: Stead Park, Westminster Park, and the Daniel T. Watha Library. I’ve become friendly with Christopher’s fantastic nanny Danielle over the many months of running into each other around the neighborhood. I even had the occasion to attend a playgroup at Christopher’s house. But until our photo session together, I’d never had the pleasure of meeting his parents.  We spent the morning hanging out around the block where they live, braving the early heat of the day – thankfully before it got too unbearable, to capture images of the energetic little guy. It was nice to be able to finally put faces to names and see the whole family together after watching Christopher sprout up into a little boy these past several months.

Freeman on the go

Freeman is one of the more active little boys I’ve had the pleasure of photographing recently. He was thoroughly enjoying his newfound walking (and running) skills throughout our entire session and gave me a good workout in the process. Thanks to his parents for running around with him to help me get these images!

Goodbye Rain?

This session was originally supposed to be two weeks ago. You probably don’t remember how bad the weather was that weekend, so let me refresh your memory: it was as if we were in the middle of monsoon season with major flooding all over the region. Definitely not weather suited for photographing a toddler outside. So the session was postponed till last weekend, which by contrast, ended up having summer-like weather. Even so, the Georgetown brick sidewalks were still a bit chilly on bare feet, as if to remind us that spring hadn’t officially arrived yet. Sorry little guy! After a string of 60 and 70 degree days, we are being reminded yet again that it is only March with snow forecast for tonight. Crazy. Anyway, it was a pleasure photographing this cutie on such a beautiful day.

My guy

I can’t remember the that last time I posted new photos of my little guy who is already 19 months old!! For those of you wondering what he looks like as a toddling toddler, these are from the other day at one of our favorite little playgrounds, Westminster Park. And no, that is not his bike, but his current obsession is spinning wheels.

Same steps, different cute toddler. Brady’s mom was the one who introduced me to this great location.

The Spanish Steps, tucked away in an unsuspecting location in downtown DC, provided a gorgeous backdrop for some more holiday photos. Liam was dressed in the perfect outfit to compliment the autumn colors of the fallen leaves. I’m in love with the results! I almost forgot to mention, check out the photos I took of Liam just about one year ago. I’m especially impressed with the change in his hair!

This was my last of four sessions with Fallon and the first holiday session of the year. I first met Fallon when she wasn’t even crawling yet and now she’s a bona fide toddler with a mouthful of teeth, running around trying to keep up with her big sister Olivia.

Befitting her name

Naina is the Hindi word for eyes. Did her parents know that she would have huge brown ones when they chose her name?

Thanks Kavita and Brett for showing me your special Rock Creek Park spot! I think I’ll have to go back there for future sessions.

Zoë

Thanks to nice spring weather and a lovely outdoor setting just beyond their front door, I was able to do outside photographs of Zoë and her parents, and then retreat inside for some more variety when the heat of the day kicked in. I particularly love the look and texture of a brick walkway as a backdrop for photographs. Zoë, who is a super confident walker, also took great pleasure in the walkway, running up and down its length, barely pausing long enough for me to focus the lens.  I must admit that her speed posed quite a challenge for me and I had to enlist the help of hand-holding parents to slow her down a bit.

I’m trying to do a better job with posting images from each session in a more timely manner. It’s only been a couple weeks since I made that pledge to myself and the readers of this blog, and so far, so good. If all goes as planned I should have another post in a couple of days, so please stay tuned!
