Isabella & Kellen

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 ;-)

Lucy

Presenting the lovely Lucy with sparkling blue eyes. It was a pleasure to meet her and her parents. Keeping this post short, but sweet since it’s after midnight. Enjoy!

Mils & Oz

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!

Lauren

I had the pleasure to photograph Lauren and her family on Friday. At just under two weeks old, she was already starting to become more alert and awake, but with mom, dad, and grandma’s help, we managed to coax her to sleep to capture some images of her getting some beauty rest. It was nice to meet you all and share this special time with you!

Anna & Liam

I met up with big sister Anna and little brother Liam and their mom on one of the few cool days in recent memory. We planned the timing of the photo session to ensure we caught Liam in the crawling/cruising stage, just on the verge of, but not quite yet taking, his first step. The weather was extremely fortuitous since our plan was to start out at their house and then head out for a stroll around the Glover Park neighborhood. Rather than having to brave a hot summer afternoon, we were actually able to venture out without fearing sweaty faces and damp hair. It was a lovely way to spend an afternoon!

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!

Eight days old. Her name represents New Orleans where her parents met and Haiti where her father served in the Peace Corps. With a little jazz playing in the background to soothe her, she slept through almost the entire photo session, breaking into sweet little sleep smiles throughout.  I’m looking forward to seeing her blossom from baby to little girl over the next year.

Twins: Take 4

Mea and Parrish were my fourth set of twins in just over a year, but my first set of newborn twins. I’ve always been impressed by the calm and collected nature of all the moms of multiples I’ve encountered thus far, but I now have even greater appreciation for the challenge of coordinating the care of two babies at this earliest stage of life. Hanging out with their mom Meg brought back memories of how frazzled I felt for weeks after the birth of my son, yet she seemed to have it all well in hand, with an air of tranquility that belied the situation.

When Meg called me to arrange the session, she shared with me that the photos would be a surprise for her husband’s 50th birthday. I didn’t know until I arrived at their home that he would actually be working downstairs throughout my entire visit, but had been given strict instructions to steer clear of the flurry of activity upstairs. I managed to come and go without him ever knowing I was there! I’m very excited to have been enlisted in the scheme and can’t wait to unveil the gift when the finished artwork is ready.

In honor of their arrival, Mothers Day, and dad’s 50th birthday, here are Parrish and Mea!

Olivia and Alexis were my third set of twins in the past year. These little cuties were a pleasure to photograph, both together and individually. Their parents and I had an amusing time trying to pose the two of them together with Olivia wanting to scoot backwards and Alexis not quite able to keep herself propped up as long as her sister.  One unforeseen benefit of working with two babies is that whenever one needed off-camera attention, the other was always ready for some solo photos. It was amazing to see their very different personalities shine through, even at this very young age.

Aven

It’s been a busy few weeks so it’s taking me a little longer than usual to proof the last couple of sessions. Here, finally, is Aven! She was just about 4 months old and starting to enjoy tummy time. The rest of the images will be ready soon!
