I’ve been woefully delinquent in updating my blog in the past couple of months, but I’ve got a lot of fun photos to share to bring the blog up to date.
First up is the lovely Lucy! I first photographed her a little less than a year ago. She’s gotten even more adorable since then, brimming with personality and a sense of humor. She kept cracking herself up, and me and her parents too, doing funny little things like walking backwards over and over again, reading books, and cuddling with a favorite stuffed animal. If you look closely in the top right corner of first picture below, you can see a lovely framed photo from our first session.

I photographed Aven and family for the first time one week shy of exactly one year ago. It was great seeing the transformation from little baby to little girl (toddler?). She was on the move throughout the whole session, but slowed down just enough to “smell the flowers,” or more like pull petals off of flowers, in her family’s beautiful garden. Luckily, there was such an abundance of beautiful flowers that I don’t think the petal pulling will be discernible. I hope.

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

After an unfortunate delay due to the torrential rain a couple of weeks ago, my rescheduled session with sisters Jacqueline and Mady ended up on a beautiful autumn day with just a little chill in the the air (my favorite weather). We were even able to get away with bare feet briefly!

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!

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!

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!

I first photographed Cecelia when she was only 6 months old. I was thrilled when her mom asked me to do a follow-up photo session, but sad to hear they were relocating to Boston. I hadn’t seen Cecelia since our first session, so it was really fun to see her all grown up, and with hair no less! With their impending move right around the corner, we only had a few potential dates to work with before their departure. And even though we were in the midst of a hot spell, since their house was all boxed up, we braved the weather to do an outdoor session at Meridian Hill Park. Meridian Hill is a park I know well where I often go with my own son, so I was really excited to take photos there after many months of becoming familiar with all its interesting spots. Thankfully there was plenty of shade to keep us from baking in the hot sun, but it was still pretty brutal out there. To Cecelia and her parents: good luck in Boston and hope you all make it back to DC soon!
