Our Vacation Buddies - Outer Banks Family & Child Photographer

This year we decided to take a full week at the beach with friends. It was amazing. Usually we do a weekend here and a weekend there at the beaches in Delaware - but a full week of being able to relax, slow down and hang out was just what we all needed.

This year we headed to the slower pace of the Outer Banks - where we could have a house right by the beach and didn't have to pack up all of the kids stuff every day and trek to and from the beach at nap time etc. It was heaven. We were delayed by about 2 1/2 days because of the hurricane and the road to our place being impassable - but once we made it there, we had a great time!

Our good friends Michele and Aaron and their 2 kiddos made the vacation even sweeter. Our kids got along famously - and I can't miss saying how awesome Sara was with my 2 girls - she was such an amazing help! Fun was had by all and we even squeezed in this photo session one evening around sunset on the beach.

Michele, Aaron, Sara and Adam - thanks for vacationing with us - we had a blast. Hopefully we can do it again next year and make it a tradition :) I hope you enjoy your sneak peek!

Farthest Traveled - Washington DC Toddler Photographer

Viene, Eric and Jeremy earn the award for my clients who had traveled the farthest for a photo session - they flew for approximately 18+ hours to come to their session!! Ok so maybe they didn't just come to see me - but either way they planned time into their trip back to the US for a fun photo session in Georgetown by the waterfront. And I am so glad they did.

Last year I had the pleasure of photographing a little Jeremy who was just on the verge of learning to sit up and this year he was running around, climbing stairs and jumping off of benches. It is amazing the difference a year makes!!

Viene had been in touch with me since January to let me know when they would be in town so we could set up a session - and it all worked out perfectly. In between my two trips out of state, a hurricane and a bout without power we were able to get together and snap some adorable photos.

Viene and Eric - thanks so much for working things out and planning a little part of your trip so I could capture some memories of Jeremy for you. I hope you had an amazing trip while you were here and safe travels home. Enjoy your sneak peek!
