Jaden’s Here! (Northern Virginia Baby and Family Photographer)
Friday, June 24th, 2011
I knew it would happen when we left for vacation… Jaden arrived! And obviously he was perfect, all 6lbs and 15oz of him
There’s a lot of pictures for this one, so I’ll try to stick to less words.
Well, you know me and baby feet.. so here you go!

GO CAPS!


Love the hair patterns on newborns





More squishy toes!




Caught him in a smirk, what a sweetheart!


That lovely family, now plus one

Can’t forget big sister, Hailey! This is the face she gave me when I asked her to smile


Three feet pictures in one post. That may be a record.

Keri, Jeremy, Hailey and Jaden! I could not be more excited about your awesome family of four! You are all such wonderful people and you deserve the absolute best that life could bring you. Love you all dearly!

Back in early May, before we left for Portland, my very best friend was expecting her second kiddo, a little boy (insert squeals of excitement!). So we got together to show off that perfect, baby boy belly of hers
I love Keri’s laugh, so contagious!



She also has a pretty cool husband and awesome daughter

Seriously, how cute are these two!

Ahh, willow trees.. I knew you were my favorite tree for some reason

My daughter and Keri’s daughter are BFF’s. Well, most times anyway

Miss Hailey telling Jaden that it’s time to COME OUT!

Lovely family,

Next up, Part Two! Jaden comes! YAY!

What better way to start off a post than with some cute baby feet?

Seriously, ok… now that’s out of my system! Here we have Emilee and Eric, two cuties from a wonderful lady that I knew from church. I had such fun with these two, Emilee is about the same age as my oldest and Eric is just about the same age as my youngest! It’s always fun seeing kids of the same age as my kids.

I can’t get over his face here… He was upset about still being on the floor and not being picked up, but come on! He is too cute!

And how precious is this smile?



Time for bubbles! Yay!





*squiiiiish!*

Ashlee, thanks so much for allowing me to capture your kiddos! They are too cute! I hope to see you all again sometime soon

Family Portraits (Northern Virginia Photographer)
Monday, April 25th, 2011
I have known Cathy since my senior year in college. She was my adviser for my internship in Social Work. The place I interned at was the Adoption Center of Washington, families could adopt children from Vietnam, China, and Russia (while I was there, things have since changed in some countries). Cathy took such good care of me, and always made sure I was learning. It was a great experience being able to work with her.
She contacted me a while ago about doing some pictures of her and her son, Sean. So we were finally able to meet up at Frying Pan Farm, but sadly the area I wanted to take pictures in was closed… But we found a cool fence, some cows and pigs, and made do ![]()
Cathy’s son, Sean, I hadn’t seen since he was probably 10, and now he’s like 28 and 15 feet tall. He is such a wonderful young man! He was so nice, went with the flow, and seemed to really enjoy himself! I realized going into this session that I have never taken pictures of teen boys. I take pictures of little kids all the time and know tricks on how to get them to laugh or look at the camera, but had no idea what to do with a teenage boy! But Sean was great, I need to take him along with me on photo sessions, he was so much fun!
Sean wanted a picture with the cows, here ya go buddy

Seriously, he could not be any sweeter,





We did run into some GIANORMOUS pigs along the way! I never knew how loud pigs were…

Man, I love me some red barns!

And jumping shots are a must, obviously:



And of course, we had to include the sweet dog

Cathy and Sean it was so fun to see you again! I can’t believe it’s been this long, hope to see you again sometime soon
