Sweet Baby Claire - Bethesda Newborn Photographer

Sweet Baby Claire is one of my very best friends first little one. Claire actually decided to arrive early! I was so surprised to wake up one morning to a text to find out that Shannon and Brian had a baby girl - the first on both sides of their family. That is right, Claire has 9 boy cousins - soon to be 11 boy cousins - so they were all so excited to have a little girl. And a little girl as precious as Claire...they are so lucky. Claire was happy as can be the entire session, awake some, asleep some, but never a peep or complaint.

Shannon and Brian - congrats...we are all so excited for you both! I can't wait to get all of the girls together for sleepovers and play dates :) Shannon - Happy Birthday!! Enjoy your sneak peek.

Kinder Farm Park Holiday Mini Sessions - Annapolis Family Photographer

Kinder Farm Park is one of my new favorite places to photograph! I loved it there, old barns, beautiful trees, farm fences, animals for the kiddos, green grasses, simply all around gorgeous-ness. I am sure it helped that I had beautiful families and adorable children to photograph all day, oh and that it was about 60-65 degrees in the middle of November didn't hurt either!

Thanks so much to everyone who came out and had a mini session at Kinder Farm - can't wait to do it again next year!!

The Long Awaited Alan - Alexandria Newborn Photographer

I had the pleasure of photographing this little man while he was still in his Mommy's belly :) When I took Kendra's maternity photos she let me know that she found out that her and her two sisters were all early babies - so to be hopefully expecting a call soon. Well her due date came and went...then Mr. Alan arrived just as he had planned. He was totally worth the wait. Super adorable and looked just like his Mommy's baby pictures.

Kendra and Greg - I was so happy to get to photograph your little guy. He was just resting up for me to come over and visit :) though I'm sure you got a good nights sleep out of him after I left! Enjoy him...before you know it he will be one and chasing his kitties all over the house! Enjoy your sneak peek!
