A Christmas Surprise a Little Early - Harford County Child & Family Photographer

So these beautiful children are our new neighbors - and we are SO LUCKY to have moved in next to this fabulous family!

The results of this photo session were supposed to be a Christmas surprise...Here is a little story about how this all went down. The oldest of the three is a freshman at my alma mater (Go GULLS!) and so we planned out getting their Mom and Dad some photos for the holidays. We worked together to figure out a time and a place and it all went off without a hitch. Alyssa said she could get the kids to keep a secret - so we were set.

So I'm expecting a phone call come Christmas Day about the photos. Then a few days ago my phone rings...it is their Mom and she is SO EXCITED about the photos! I guess Christmas came a little early this year ;)

Galloway Family - thanks for being such awesome neighbors! Here's a little preview of the photos that will be soon hanging on your walls!








The Melpass Family - Alexandria Child & Family Photographer

You might remember these adorable faces from before...now Maeve is 6 months old and her big sister is still cuter then ever. I had such a great time following this family of four around Alexandria then back to their home to get a few cute pics inside too.

Have you ever seen a more adorable, happy, roly poly baby?! Maeve has so many creases and rolls it I just can't believe it...then big beautiful eyes and curly brown hair...to die for.

Melissa - thanks so much for having me back...it was a blast! Have an amazing holiday in warm sunny Florida! Enjoy your sneak peek!

p.s. Thanks for the coffee!

Sisters - Alexandria Child & Family Photographer

When one of my long time clients emailed me and asked if I could fit her in for a session because her sister was going to be in town of course I said yes. Courtney was pretty much the only member of Sarah's family I haven't met yet - so how could I say no!

Sarah is the Mommy to Charlie - whom you've seen a lot of his adorable face around here the past year and a half. (here, here and here). We changed things up a bit and ventured to Old Town Alexandria for some fun shots and we couldn't have asked for a more beautiful day.

Courtney & Ryan - it was so great to finally meet you both! Sarah and Tyler thanks so much for asking me to come and photograph your family memories once again. Enjoy your sneak peek! xoxo - Gina :)
