{Newborn} Welcome Baby Boy

I couldn't wait to meet this precious, little guy. His big brother is adored by both my little ones and so J's arrival and photo shoot were extra extra special. Getting to photograph this sweet itty bitty was such a privilege and a joy. I couldn't stop smiling!

{Cake Smash} Happy First Birthday!

To celebrate O's first birthday, his mama baked him a cake and let him have at it and I was the lucky one to get to photograph it all. He wasn't quite sure what to think at first, but quickly got the hang of smearing frosting and getting his sugary fingers into his mouth. I've seriously never laughed so hard while taking pictures - he made the cutest expressions but the best was when he picked up the entire cake...

{Family} M&J and Bailey, too

I had the pleasure of spending an evening with this gorgeous couple and their adorable puppy, Bailey in their Capital Hill neighborhood. They're about to celebrate their first wedding anniversary and their labradoodle's first birthday and it was a joy to photograph the three of them. And seriously, could Bailey be any cuter?

{Family} Baby Boy & Adoring Sisters

After they'd had a few weeks to adjust to being a family of five, I had the pleasure of taking a few more photos at their home. Baby R is clearly adored by his sisters (and parents, too!).

{Baby Girl} Six Months Old

I'm happy any time I get to take pictures of a little one, and getting a chance to celebrate this sweet girl's first half birthday was a total joy. Her mama wanted to include big brother as a surprise Father's Day gift, and we had success (with only a little bribery...).
