As every parent knows, your baby will always keep you on your toes. You can think he’s settling into a knowable sleep routine, only to have him remind you that routine is overrated. 
I usually plan to start infant photo sessions right after nap time with the hope of a nice big chunk of “quiet alert” time in which to capture the baby’s personality. Baby L had napped before my arrival, however he let us know that he still needed some beauty sleep (growth spurt?), so mom coaxed him back to sleep until he was ready to sport some smiles at the very end. I was relieved that both mom and dad went with the flow and trusted that we’d still get great images, which I think we did!

Last time I photographed Tyler was back in April. He is now crawling (very fast I might add), has a lot more hair and new chompers, and still sports a winning smile. I once again braved scorching summer weather to do a session outside, but we managed to finish up and head back inside before the heat got too unbearable. Our location this time around was another lovely DC landmark, The National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial, located within Judiciary Square.

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.

I met Tyler and his lovely parents a couple of weeks ago. Isn’t he a cutie pie? What an easy going baby – he was a pleasure to photograph. This was another session photographed during that first warm weekend of the season so we headed out into the neighborhood, taking advantage of the proximity to one of DC’s most beautiful buildings (IMO) as our backdrop, the Reynolds Center, otherwise known as the National Portrait Gallery and the Smithsonian American Art Museum. It is one of the many examples of iconic Greek Revival architecture around town that makes the DC feel so stately. The best part about the image though, is how visible mama’s love is for her little boy. Enjoy!

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.

This is from my last session of the season, in honor of a first birthday that arrives soon after the new year. These lovely ladies might be twins, but they’re just about as opposite as can be. Sonia with blond hair and blue eyes, Eve with light brown hair and dark brown eyes, you can tell the moment you meet them who is shy and who is bold. Eve crawled right up and peered into my lens, while Sonia needed a little more coaxing. They are right at the age when they’re constantly on the move, so it wasn’t till they were worn out at the very end of the session that I managed to get a few images of them sitting together. Phew!

I got to spend the afternoon with Grace and her parents on a very special day in all of their lives. Happy first birthday Grace!

A few weeks ago, while pushing my son in a swing at the playground, I met another mom as she pushed her son alongside. We ended up chatting about both babies’ cute baby hairdos, my son with his long curls in back and not yet fully grown-in whispy top, her son with a soft blond spikes, too lightweight to lay flat just yet. She mentioned she was contemplating a haircut for him and I implored her not to. So what if a baby’s hair is a bit unruly? At that age, it’s adorable! The very next day, I arrived for a pre-session consult with a new client whom I had never met before and, lo and behold, it was the same mom from the playground!!! I can’t tell you how excited I was to learn that I would be photographing the baby with the cute hair! I love coincidences like that!
So how about that hair? Cute, right?

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!
