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

Erin contacted me a while ago for some engagement pictures for her and her fiance, Marcus. When we were finally able to settle on a date, I was so looking forward to shooting in Old Town Alexandria with that yummy, golden light, and THEN… it was cloudy and misty. Good times. Thankfully, it stopped misting and raining, Erin claimed the night to have turned out “kind of nice”, so on we went! And she was right, there is something nice about cloudy days, it casts a nice, soft white box and makes things look a little more even.
I loved hanging out with Marcus and Erin, they are so adorably cute together and were such agreeable, kind, good-looking people! Of course, they didn’t mind kissing it up in front of the camera, so that didn’t hurt either
Funny story about this bench. We were walking along the sidewalk and I thought it would be a nice place to take pictures, but the owner was out front taking out the trash. So I whispered that I was going to wait till she was gone so we could take a picture on the bench. Marcus said, “Do you want me to ask her?” Uhh… sure? I hadn’t even thought of asking, ha! He was one of the kindest people, and asked if she needed help with her trash before he asked about taking pictures. Of course she obliged to the picture taking, and we got a nice picture on the bench Seriously, Marcus, people just aren’t as nice as you are in this area! Please spread that kindness around!
This is one of my favorites, I had no problem getting them to kiss one another
People walking by on the sidewalk were like, “what are they doing? Why is she taking their picture?”
Another favorite, they are so at ease with each other, it’s cute when he makes her laugh,
We ducked inside this kitschy little shop for some pictures. We asked one of the ladies working there if it was alright to take pictures, she said it was. Then we went upstairs to take a few more and were told by some guy to not take pictures. Anyway.. We got a few good ones before then!
Erin and Marcus, it was SUCH a pleasure to meet the two of you! Thanks for letting me be a part of your lives for a short time, I hope to run into you all again sometime soon!
