I don’t know why I neglect my blog like I do… I just… have no excuse
I especially have no excuse for this family, because I had SO MUCH FUN photographing them! And the kids were just delightful and so amazing to hang out with! When they all arrived at the park, the kids hopped out of the car, said hi, gathered themselves on the grass and POSED THEMSELVES! All on their own! Like pro-models. See for yourselves:

Seriously. Couldn’t make my job any easier! Also, the day was gorgeous, so that didn’t hurt either.

Jumping is fun!

SQUISH!

Family cuddle time

I’m normally not a huge fan of matchy-matchy, but this family totally pulled it off and made me want to do the same with my family. I mean seriously, look at all those smiley faces!

Thanks Kayo and Cary! Your family is amazing and I can’t wait to hang out with you again soon

Remember about 10 months ago when I posted about that cute little 4 week old baby? Well in less than a month, she will be ONE YEAR OLD! Sweet Moses! In an effort to hold on to her tininess (although, she’s not so tiny in these pictures), we did a mini-shoot at the Reston Town Center. Mina has SO MUCH personality! She is such a little firecracker
She definitely lets you know what is on her mind in any way that she can. And as cranky as she can be, she is 10 times happier. She loves, loves to laugh and smile. And she watches everything, taking it all in. She started army crawling at 8 months, crawling full time at 8.5 months, and now at 11 months is getting ready to walk.
Enough talk, here’s the cute kid:

She loves playing with my camera strap:

Toesies!


You can’t tell in this picture, but she has 5 teeth and seems to be working on 18 more…….. I hate teething.

Little baby, big world.

Awww…

Seriously. Even though she is up at all times of the night, this smile during the day makes me forget how exhausted I am!

Ok, those eyes make me forget too.


I love you with all my heart, Mina Star. I cannot imagine life without you, you are such a shining joy in our lives

I. Love. This. Session.
Kyle and Sarah were one of my favorite sessions of the year so far
I have known Sarah since she was in junior high, so WOW is it ever weird that she’s engaged and getting married! I met up with them at Meadowlark Gardens in Vienna (which, if you haven’t been there, you should totally go), and we braved the heat (and gnats, ew) and got some awesome pictures. I’m pretty sure I had them kiss about 1,803 times (which they totally hated, obviously). They were just so cute together, I kept asking Kyle to give Sarah a kiss and he obliged so nicely. For pictures of course. I think that if you took a drink every time you saw them kissing or being cute in this post, you would be more than happy by the end!
Drink number one! Go!

Pretty, pretty little ring


They’re about to kiss here, so you might as well take a drink



DIP! (They had to practice this a time or two, shh…)

One of my favorites…



Shhhh… It was a secret. Of something.

Ok, just kiss already!


YAY! We’re getting married!!


Kyle and Sarah, you are SUCH lovely people! I had the best time with you, thank you for going along with my ideas and for the arduous task of kissing one another. It’s hard being such beautiful people, I’m sure. I wish you all the best on your marriage, and I can’t wait to follow you and your future!
