Such sweet little girls - I have said it before and I will say it again (and probably over and over again...) but I love to see the bond between new sisters. Even when they are close in age you can see the love and concern that a big sister has for her new baby sister.
I have been overwhelmed with newborn babies the last week (in a good way!!) - they were all due within a 4 week span and they all arrived within a week and half of each other!! Not only have I been incredibly lucky in the baby department, but also in weather department - babies love to be outside and in the warm air - and it has been warm.
This little girl was a complete angel and loved being outside. Her big sister who is also absolutely gorgeous, was a lot of fun as well. Melissa - thank you so much for asking me to come and capture the newness of your beautiful Maeve and her big sister Remy. They are both incredibly adorable and so lucky to have you and your husband. Enjoy them - take it from me, two girls are so much fun! I hope you enjoy your sneak peek!!
So I am finding that in winter - especially a freezing cold, windy, icy, snowy winter like the one we have had around here - is hard when you are a natural light photographer and you want a change of scenery from the indoors. But today was a different story.
I was on a mission - two of my favorite clients Libby and Spencer are lawyers in DC and when they got in touch with me about wanting 6 month pictures of their daughter Elsie (who you can also see here and here) in February we needed an indoor location. They suggested Libby's work...where does she work...well in an office building. So I began to have nightmares of nasty green low pile carpet, scuffed walls and stick-on base molding. Luckily, what I found when I arrived there this morning, was an office with a view of the White House, windows everywhere, a conference room with a built in couch, a HUGE table with an awesome reflection, wood covered walls and a little bit of low pile carpet...well it couldn't be too perfect! :)
So my mission was a little easier...but take a look for yourself - do you think we were in an office building in DC??
I am thinking about writing a behind the scenes post about this session - so you can see what we did to make the photos look so not-in-a-lawyers-office-in-DC-esque. I just don't know if you all would be interested in seeing something like that??
Anyways...Libby and Spencer - thank you so much for an amazing time! I had so much fun, Elsie is so freaking adorable it was difficult to choose which pics to show here!! I can't wait until she is 9 months and we can do it all over again...well outside ;) Enjoy your sneak peek!!
It was a cold, cold day in downtown Alexandria where winter hats and pea coats made for great family photo outfits! The Mom of this family is an old friend of mine who I haven't seen in a few years, she has since moved across the country and back, married a great guy, had an adorable baby girl and lets not forget Dewey the puggle! They were troopers through the cold windy morning and were even sticking around for a parade afterward! Not me, I ran for the heat and indoors. Kimberley and Joe I hope you enjoy your sneak peek!
