Strike the Harp and Join the Chorus

I had the absolute pleasure of photographing Ashley and Cooper this week.  These two had SO MUCH personality and were so animated.  To top it off, mom was playing Christmas music and the house was beautifully decorated.  Fa-la-la-la-la!

The peek...

It has started snowing here!  Along with the two kids above...it sure feels like Christmas is coming. 

Yay.

Mr. Personality

On Sunday, I had a holiday mini-session with such a sweet, sweet family.  I photographed baby boy as a new-born just a few months ago.  His personality is in full bloom now!

The peek:

It's so exciting to watch these babies grow!  Thanks for bringing me back!

Boys!

This past Saturday, I had the pleasure of going out to the home of Dale, Stephanie, Harrison, Andrew, Noah, Hudson and Buddy the dog.  First of all, the house was gorgeous - set back in a neighborhood with big yards and trees and decorated for the holidays.  Inside was beautiful too, warm and inviting just like the family that lives in it. 

The peek...

What wonderful boys you have Dale and Stephanie, great personalities and all-around good kids.  Also - love me some sweet Buddy the dog. :-)

Gallery will follow soon.

Big Family

The day after Thanksgiving I had a photo session with a family of seven.  It was so much fun to spend time with them and be part of their banter and teasing and fun. 

The peek...

the parents

the kids

the whole crew :-)

I loved the dynamic of this big family.  Lots of personality and a whole lot of love for everyone.

Very cool.

Decked Out

I met Amy, Scott, Hailey and Brody in Occoquan a little over a week ago for their photo session.  The main street was already beautifully and fully decked out for the holidays and a sunny morning put us all in a great mood. 

The peeks...

Thanks for a great session guys!  Love all your baby blues. :-)

Birthday Dress

I went to photograph sweet Reilly and her brother Denton last weekend along with their parents in a holiday mini-shoot.  Reilly was ready to get a couple of shots in her 1 year birthday dress.  She was so cute - after a very brief shyness, she was excited and laughing and running.  We ended with a few shots of big brother and family.

Here is the peek...

I'll be shooting you the gallery password soon, mom and dad!

Up and Coming

Corey, Matt and Lilly met me last Saturday morning for our photo session.  Lilly was quite a busy two year old.  She loved exploring the park, climbing up and down the steps and was VERY interested in my camera.  I think these folks have a budding photographer on their hands. :-)

The peek...

I had so much fun photographing this family and especially this little girl.

More photos to come soon guys!

Sunshine Warm Upon Your Face

Last Saturday, Jackie, her husband Rob and her son John left Virginia and moved to Orlando, FL.  We had a family photo session a couple of days before they embarked on their journey.  Jackie worked at my daughter's school and her son was in my daughter's classroom.  It has been a long-time dream for Rob and Jackie to live in Florida, and I'm happy that dream is being realized,  but they will be missed.

Here is a peek from their session...

I think the Irish Blessing says is best: 

May the road rise to meet you
May the wind be always at your back
May the sun shine warm upon your face
May the rain fall soft upon your fields
And until we meet again
May God hold you in the palm of His hand

All my best to you.  Your gallery will be up soon. :-)

Beautiful Boy

My final session in New York last week was with a 4 week old named Sawyer. He already has a spark in his eye - bright and attentive when awake and amazingly verbal.  It took a little break to coax him into the kind of sleep where we could position him and get some of those shots we all love - he just didn't want to miss anything - :-). 

Here is the peek...

 

It was such a joy to meet this little one and to hold his sweetness in my arms.

An Actor and A Gentleman

A week ago today, I was in New York having lunch with a pal of mine, Tim.  Earlier that morning - we took some photos together.

Talented, funny and a phenomenal friend, he is one of my favorite people on the planet.  

Here is just a sampling of his session...

LOVE, love, love him!
