the job of a toddler | arlington, va family and child photograher

"The fundamental job of a toddler is to rule the universe"
-Auther Unknown

You may recognize these three from last fall when baby sister was 6 months old...well, she recently turned 1, and I'm so thrilled the family asked me to capture her again at this stage - along with her sisters.

We had a lot of fun hangin' in the house and spending time outside in glorious sunshine.

Here is the peek...

cousins

The newest member of my extended family arrived!  He is one of the most attentive newborns I've met - no way he was going to miss a moment of our session.  Here are the peeks... 





I asked big brother if he wanted me to take his photo, and he immediately sat in front of me with such an open and authentic look.  So, SO sweet...


Here's the whole family...


Kinda gorgeous, right?

Gallery will be up soon you guys.

behind every woman or man...

I make friends with many military families living in Northern Virginia.  I myself grew up with a father in the Air Force and can empathize with so much of all that being a military family encompasses.  One thing I never had to deal with was my father's deployment - those were different times. 

Last fall I took photographs of their children, but yesterday mom wanted a session with her man, because they will be spending most of the year ahead separated from one another.   I am honored she asked me to do it.

The chemistry of these two was so apparent and their joy and comfort in one another - just lovely.

The peeks...




Thank you both for your service to our country, your sacrifices are both acknowledged and appreciated.
