rockville md family photographer
I'm on a roll, y'all... Two posts in one week! ; ) Meet the Blanchard family. Little Susannah arrived in late July. I've known Megan since I was a teenager, and I'm so happy that I got to photograph this precious, fleeting time in their lives. Enjoy some of my favorites!
I met Maria, Nick and their 13-month-old daughter Amelia on a sunny day last week in northern Virginia for a family session. Let me tell y'all... they were TROOPERS. Even though the sun was shining, it was windy and COLD! All of them handled the biting temps with grace, and we got some super sweet photos. I'm so grateful my friend Anna connected me with them. Enjoy this beautiful family!
A couple of weeks ago, I took Brooklyn to Butler's Orchard to pick a couple of small pumpkins for our front stoop. She LOVED it, and I loved watching her frolic around the patch. The weather was perfect - sunny and temperate - and after picking pumpkins, we sat under a tree and ate blueberries together. The morning will forever be embedded in my heart.
As time gets closer to the birth of our second child, I am having such mixed emotions. I cannot wait to meet our little man and bond and grow our family. I know my heart will expand tenfold. On the other hand, I'm getting a little weepy that it won't be just Brooklyn and me anymore. When the hubs is at work during the week, we've become each others' side kicks, and I'm doubtful that I'm ready to start dividing my attention. So even though I'm getting more and more tired as the third trimester progresses, I'm trying really hard to make these moments count and soak up all her loveliness and charm. Here's to filling up the memory bank with my original muse.
I loved capturing the Wills family in downtown Alexandria, Virginia. We started out in Founders Park and then hit a couple of charming spots in Old Town. Isabelle, who was only 5 1/2 months old during this session, KILLED it. She is one of the "easiest" babies that I've ever photographed; I had the hardest time choosing favorites for a post because she has so much personality! It's evident how much Kathy and Jon love their precious little lady. Please enjoy my time with this beautiful family!
Today I get to share images from a special family's mini session. I photographed Kelly and Bob's wedding almost five years ago now (!!!!). Since then, they've added a couple of precious kiddos: Claire and Weston. : ) Weston is only about a month old in these photos, and Claire is such a sweet big sister to him! Both of the kids stole my heart. I love watching families grow, and I'm so thankful that I get to continue to capture special milestones.
