The Chamberlains (Northern Virginia Family Photographer)
Friday, June 18th, 2010
Last summer I had the opportunity to photograph some pretty cute kids! This year I was able to get their whole family, whole family as in brothers, grandparents, parents and cousins as well 
We went back to Morven Park in Leesburg (I love that place) and battled the gnats, but we had a great time!
I took a similar picture of Claire last year, I love how stoic she looks, quite the little model
These are the grandparents, I *loved* how affectionate they were with each other, too cute
Here’s the cousins!
And the whole family:
I asked Joshua to give Claire a little kiss, she was fine with it until she realized what he was actually doing 
What a lovely family you all are! I had so much fun with you guys and I can’t wait for next year!

The Twins :)
Friday, November 20th, 2009
This might be a quick post because I have a very important (and delicious) coconut tart that is waiting to be made. Also, the kid is asleep but I think I hear her waking up (ENTIRELY TOO EARLY, CHILD) so this will now be even quicker. Weee!
Aaron and Brandon are three year old twins who really did not care about their picture being taken I think they are wonderful and fun boys, they just didn’t really want to do what we wanted them to do. Which really, they are three years old. You don’t get a lot of cooperative ones that age But still, there are some cute pictures of them anyway..
This is one of my favorites:
I think this may also be one of the few times that they are both looking at the camera at the same time!
I won’t lie…I can’t tell them apart unless they are in their jackets (Brandon in Brown and Aaron in Blue). But this next one is in black and white, so it’s not helping me out
What a beautiful setting we had! We went to Morven Park in Leesburg. We had to stay on the other side of the property because there was a wedding going on. No matter though, I think we got the better end of the deal!
Brandon!
Searching for sticks and places to dig. This went on for most of the session
I have no idea what kind of fruit/thing these are, but they were SO COOL, to me at least. The boys were a little weary of them.
The leaf throwing was supposed to be a fun idea. But only Aaron really got into it
Awww… too bad my shadow is totally on their jeans, it’s still pretty cute
Mama liked this one, me too
Um, can we go play?
We started to play a game of Red Light, Green Light and that totally got them to stand still for 2 seconds! Gotta put that trick in my pocket for next time!
Thanks boys for a fun shoot! Hope to see you all in the spring or summer when it’s a bit warmer and we can see your cute shirts!

Quick Post!
Saturday, October 10th, 2009
I photographed a 10 year old boys Karate birthday party last Saturday (I’m sure that there should have been coma’s or dashes in that sentence, but since this is a quick post, I don’t care!). I had no idea what to expect, but I had a ton of fun watching these boys run around and get exhausted! The boys really had such a fun time taking orders from the Masters and they even got to get in a few kicks at them.
Here’s a picture of the birthday boy with the two Master’s:
Happy Birthday, Alex! Hope you had a good one!

Joshua & Claire
Friday, June 5th, 2009
My friend Amy has two of the cutest kids you’ll ever meet, Joshua and Claire. Joshua just turned four and Claire will soon be turning two. Amy usually has pictures of them taken in between their birthdays every year, so she asked me to do it this year! We went to Morven Park which is right by their house in Leesburg. I have never heard of this place, apparently it is somewhat of a secret. I am SO IN LOVE with this park, seriously.. I can’t wait to go back and take some more pictures! (My font just turned bold, I’m not sure why and I can’t fix it… oh well).
Why is it so hard to get kids to hold hands? This picture is a miracle (sweet – no more bold…)
(I loved this pool/fountain area, so Secret Garden-ish)
JUMP!
This pictures shows nothing about the pretty landscape, but just look at that beautiful child!
What a GREAT BENCH!
They also have this great iron gate (I know, it’s hard to tell from this picture)
This cobblestone wall is also… *sigh*. I have a thing for cobblestone. Except, yes, I realize that is brick. Whatever
More of the awesome, old wall.
I told you I have a thing for this wall…
I asked them to show me how wide they could open their mouths. I think Joshua wins
Yay for kids and beautiful parks!
