Welcome Talea Grace - DC/ Alexandria/ NoVa, Family/ Child/ Newborn Photographer

This little cutie patootie is Talea. She is just over a week old and was so tiny in my hands. I had forgotten how small newborns can be. Not only is she adorable, but she was the perfect baby. Her mama is very lucky. I was a little sad when the shoot ended b/c she was such a joy to photograph. Thanks Talea!!

Caroline + Andy + Po

This is Caroline. She is a dear friend of mine venturing out with a business of her own. I took head shots for her upcoming website, and then we spent a few moments photographing her husband, Andy, and their adorable dog, Po. She is probably one of the most well behaved dogs I've met. She was so much easier to photograph than some of the kids I've done. I'm convinced she was modeling for me. Not only is their dog amazing, but they are the sweetest couple ever, and I'm so glad to have gotten to know them in this past year.

Ethan +Family

This is Ethan...in all his cuteness!! I think I got a glimpse of what it's like to be paparazzi as I was chasing this little guy all over the park, keeping my fingers crossed that somewhere in the set, hopefully there would be a good shot of him. But I guess when you're taking pictures of someone this cute, you can't really have a bad shot. We managed to squeeze in some family shots as the parents jumped in behind him the moment he was still. It was quite an adventure!
I should also mention that his parents are really good friends of ours so it was even more fun just spending the afternoon taking photos and catching up in between shots. They are a beautiful family with big hearts and we are so blessed to have them apart of our lives.

Hunter's Dohl Party

Thank you to all the wonderful friends who not only came to Hunter's party to celebrate his First Birthday, but to all those friends and family who have helped us in the past year to keep our sanity while learning how to raise a child. It's sad that I went through all this work to organize this party, and Hunter will not remember a single detail of it when he gets older. Thank God for photos!! haha B/c this will probably never happen again!! I have maxed out my creative juices on this one. Now I have to take down all these decorations and bring it with me to NJ this weekend for his 2nd party. yikes!

Hunter's Cake Smash

It was a cake smash...without the smash.
On 10.11.10 (yes I know so close to being a 10/10/10 baby!!), our son, Hunter, turned 1!!! I can't believe it's been 365 days since he was born. Time really flies these days. I still can't believe it. It seems like just yesterday, I was crying b/c he wouldn't stop crying. hahaha And still everyday is a continual struggle of how to be a good mom to him. I just hope I don't do any permanent damage. ;) Here he is, our little sunshine!!!
