{Family} Claude Moore Park

What a joy to spend the morning with this delightful family! We had to reschedule because the weather wasn't quite cooperating, but man, was it worth the wait! We had a gorgeous morning and Miss M was all smiles as she told me about her favorite princesses, shared what she was going to be for Halloween, and showed off her best dance moves.

{Newborn} Sweet Baby Boy

I can't think of anything better than spending a morning with a mama who is completely in love with her precious children. This little guy was so sweet, and even sweeter was the way his big brother would console him when he cried. Baby H was content just to be near his mama, even in the pram that was hers as a little girl. Meeting this little one was such a joy!

{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?
