Pumpkins and Christmas Cheer | Alexandria, VA Child Photographer

I had the pleasure of photographing the "H" Family twice this fall -- first at a local pumpkin patch, then a couple months later for holiday photos.  They are the sweetest family and such a joy to work with. The 3 year old boy is one of the most gentle and affectionate big brothers that I have ever met.  He had better look after his little sister, as she's got such captivating blue eyes that she will surely be turning heads as she gets older.

Their mom is super talented and made the adorable little red flower headband that her baby girl wore during the holiday session (and she managed to whip it together the morning of the photo session!) Let me know if you are interested in learning more about her work -- she makes fantastic accessories!

Parallel lives with the "L" Family

I recently had the pleasure of a photographing the "L" Family again for another fall session. They are dear friends to us. They have two girls who are exactly 3 weeks younger than our two kids, respectively, so I always feel like we're living parallel lives.  I'll never forget meeting the older daughter when she was 5 weeks old -- she was such a super tiny peanut and so cute!  Now she's a beautiful little girl, full of energy and smiles.  And her younger sister is also adorable and was a super trooper during our session in the cold. I enjoyed spending the morning with them and hope to see them again soon!
