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!

Miss Cecilia is just way too cute (Is that some flirtation that I am seeing in those photos?) Julie did an awesome job of capturing what can only be statements of Cecilia’s loving personality. I know that you will all relish life in Cambridge and Boston. My love and wishes for your happiness are sent your way.
She is beautiful. I can not believe how big she is. I agree, that these are wonderful photos!
Corrie – thanks so much for the kind words. It was a fun photo session for me and a pleasure seeing you again before you left. All the best in Boston and hope to see you back in a year!
This is proof that Julie has some remarkable talent to have taken such sweet pictures of our daughter. Not only do we not see the heat radiating around us, the toddler-style refusal to cooperate or even the back of Cecelia’s head, instead she has captured the girl that we love, but did not see so much on this miserably hot morning. We are so excited that she was able to capture these moments and that we have a solid memory of our DC girl before our move. Thank you Julie for squeezing us in even in the midst of your own move. I doubt that this will be a farewell Cecelia. Your photos are just too great to stop at age two. We’ll be in touch!
