I met this little sweetheart almost exactly one year ago today - then 6 months later I got to see her again and now she is ONE!! I can't believe how fast time flies. Marisa has always been such a happy girl who makes my job super easy because sle loves to smile (and look at the camera). :)
Nina and Rich - thanks so much for having me back - I love being able to watch Marisa grow. She is such a beautiful little girl. I hope I was able to capture some great memories of Marisa in your new home. Enjoy your sneak peek!
You might remember these two beauties from over the summer when little Claire was born - now she is 6 months old! She is such a happy and content little girl. Her big sister was such a blast to see again too as she is full of spunk and smiles.
Melissa and Mike - Thanks so much for asking me back to photograph your beautiful girls. Happy 2nd Birthday Abigail! Hope you had an amazing Einstein's party!! Check out your sneak peek!
There are many elements of meeting new clients that are a mystery until I show up to their session - I discuss a lot of things with my clients, but sometimes you don't know how things will be until you meet.
One main thing with newborn sessions is the setting - they are almost always taken in the parents home and though I will bring my props to each session it is nice to have some things to use that are the clients as it makes the session a little more personal and unique.
When I pulled up to Lisa and Dan's house I wasn't sure what to expect - it was a beautiful old building in Old Town Alexandria - GORGEOUS - but who knew what laid inside. From the moment I walked in I knew this session was going to be amazing - not only did they have one of the cutest boys in the world, they had a super awesome old carriage type home with exposed brick, old beams, amazing furniture and tons of character. Ah-mazing.
So the wave of baby boys continues with Ben - he was such a sweetheart. He slept, was awake and was just plain adorable. His Mom and Dad had some of the cutest beanie hats for him to wear too. Super cute. He loved to be swaddled and warm - two things I could take care of and he was a happy camper :)
Lisa and Dan - thanks so much for asking me to come and capture memories of little Ben. It was such a pleasure to meet you all! Enjoy your sneak peek!
