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.

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...

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.

this little light of mine
The song "This Little Light of Mine" continues to flow through my thoughts like a mantra - it will not leave my mind. This past week has been filled with profound events in my community and in my life, and someday I may write about it, but not today.
I can tell you that in the moment I am typing this, the sun is striving to break through the clouds and cold, life is a gift and I am filled with affirmation and hope.
So it seems ultimately appropriate that I share a few peeks from my latest session with a six day old baby boy...
Isn't he gorgeous?

It is often our smallest gestures of kindess that have far-reaching impact. Remember to let your light shine. You never know where it will refract and land.

more joy
I'm posting these "joy of love" photo exercises as of way of holding myself accountable to actually do them. I'm learning an awful lot here. I'll write more about that in the days to come.
then and now...
When I first met Bill in high school, he wore large glasses - now he wears contacts (so you can see those awesome baby blues better), he had the cheesiest peach-fuzz mustache - now he can actually grow a mustache, and he did have a bit more hair in those days. To me though, he has never been more handsome and sexy as he is now.
the little things that annoy you...
Bill caught me taking this picture the other day, and since he knows I'm doing these photo exercises - he guessed right away what the theme of this particular one was...
I mean, come on! push the drawer in ALL the way! :-)
what they wear...
My daughter has been wearing converse since she was a baby. I loved them when I was younger and she loves them too. You can see how "loved" this particular pair are. She wears a pair almost every day to school. (Yes, she has more than one pair)
what they love (besides you)...
In the interest of giving each family member their equal time, and mostly so I don't drive any one of them particularly crazy with my camera all up in their business every day - I thought I would let our dog, Ruby, be my subject.
At 10:30am every day she gets a treat, and her internal clock knows exactly when that is. She receives it in the same spot every day. In fact, when I was out of town a couple of weeks ago and Bill and Sophie were gone all day...the minute Bill walked in the door he expected Ruby would need to go outside - no, she was in her spot waiting...first things first.

It look a bit of effort to get this picture as she was more than a little freaked out at my trying to take a picture of her "special" time and kept running from me. :-)
More to come...

ready or not...
I am aware of more than a few babies on their way into this world in the next couple of weeks. One of them is a sweet baby boy due the middle of this month.
I recently shot part one of a maternity/newborn session. If there are already children in the household, I like to get a few photos of them before they become a new big sister or brother - because in the coming weeks there will be a lot of attention on the newest member. Here are a few of big sister...
And here are a few peeks of the belly...and a pretty adorable one at that...
I'm looking forward to meeting the newborn boy who will be here in just a couple of weeks!
Tomorrow I'll post more of my "the joy of love" exercises. I've been having so much with them.
