Newborn Photography

Meet Yadon! You first got a glimpse of him if you scroll down a bit...mom and his lovely big sister, Chi had a maternity photography session with me not too long ago.
Look at this handsome little guy!
He also got his first modeling gig at just a few days old lol! I featured him in a display at a new local boutique right down the street from my studio...but more on that in an upcoming post!

How sweet is he?!!





Thanks for looking...Also..i added a 'gadget' over on the right hand side for those of you who normally 'stalk' the blog =) There is also another 'gadget' that makes subscribing to the blog a little easier. Whenever i make a new post, blogger will notify you.
Have a great weekend everyone!

Sibling Photography =)

Look at these two Little Lovelies!! Miss Anna is nearly a year old. I first photographed her as a newborn...i couldn't believe how much she's changed. i thought it would be fun to show a 'then and now' along with a couple more from our recent session!

Here is Anna as a newborn:



Here she is now:



Here's Anna with her big sister Nina:




Here's Nina giving me a "Bippity, Boppitty, Boo" =)



Till next time!!

Road Trip!

My photography sessions normally take place in or around my studio in Occoquan, Va, but today i made a road trip to a neighboring state to capture this 'big guy'. This was my 3rd time photographing him and i was so excited to see how much he's changed! He is SO cute i could just eat him!!
For your viewing pleasure..the adorable Grayson!! Remember him from waaay back?! Look at those cheeks!

One in color:



One with a bit of a 'chocolate wash' just for mom =) :



Be back soon! Have a wicked cool LONG weekend!!!

The Beautiful "Miss B"

Miss B was a true delight for this lucky Northern Virginia Photographer! She had the biggest brown eyes and THE longest lashes. She loved to sing and play with her 'lovies'.
She was very sweet and petite..and just 16 months old =)

Feeding a snack to her friends =)




Enjoying a quite moment in the sand =)



Thanks for looking! Be back soon!

Savannah at 6 months old!

As a children's photographer in Prince William County, VA, i am blessed to photograph a vast array of wonderful children...and Miss Savannah is no exception. You may remember her awhile back as a newborn. Isn't she a doll?!
Thanks for looking and all your continued support!

She's wearing an outfit that belonged to her mom...so cute!:



A Little Treasure:

5 Days New!!

Hiding head in shame..i have been REALLY bad about updating my blog...i will blame that on *trying* to balance work with having my daughter home for the Summer. It's been tricky but we've been doing great! So my apologies to my usual 'blog stalkers' for the delays lol!
Hopefully this adorable baby boy will make you smile, and forget about what a bad blogger i have been lately...but i will be posting more soon =)
Without further adieu, meet 5 day old Chase (psst....he belongs to the lovely mommy below with the henna belly!)
Thanks for looking and for your wonderful comments..they are always appreciated *smooch* =)

2 BEAUTIFUL 'baby bumps' =)

I had the privilege of photographing two expectant Moms recently...they were both GLOWING and absolutely stunning.
The first Mama was photographed during a 'blessingway' which is similar to a baby shower but it's ALL about the Mom where some heavy pampering takes place. WOOHOO!
The design on Mama's belly was painted with henna by her friends, which made for an extra neato 'belly shot'!

Here is the beautiful Jess, due any day now =)



Here is the lovely Rachelle with big-sister-to-be, Chi =)


I told you they're stunning!
Thanks for looking..till next time!

I Miss Her Already....Stephanie, Age 2 1/ 2

It's taken me a few days to be able to compose this post, mainly because i get a little 'drippy' every time i try to sit and type. Steph's Daddy has been transferred out to Colorado, so Thursday we set up a 'final session' before they head out.
I first photographed Stephanie just after she started sitting up on her own. She was such a beautiful baby, and even back then her personality was infectious. She's lovely, charming, personable and of course extremely photogenic ;-). I can't even believe how much she's changed and grown with each session. The uber chubby feet and thighs have made way for a tall, demure little girl who stands proud and smiles sweetly at me. She's full of giggles and raspberries and i am going to miss her terribly.
Here is one of the portraits from her first session:



and here she is now...isn't she amazing?





Here she is with her sweet dog, Sadie =)



Mom and Dad's lungs got quite the workout from blowing all those bubbles lol!


Ginger and Chris, thank you so much for sharing your little doll baby with me...till we meet again =)

Fairytale Fusions =)

There is a part of me that is still very much a believer in fairytales and all things magical.
That's the inspiration behind my "Fairytale Fusions". These Limited Edition pieces fuse fine art photographs with whimsical graphic elements. No two pieces are exactly alike and i will work with you to design the perfect wall portrait and family heirloom. Each portrait is digitally signed and numbered for authenticity.
If your little girl would like to be transported to a world of fairies and butterflies, similar to these screen captures below, i invite you to contact me through my website to reserve your session.
Costumes and styling provided on request =).

Midsummer Butterfly Princess



Hard to see but this little Faerie, near and dear to me requested POINTED ears lol!!


Till next time!

Kaylah...and Nathan too!

I told you i would be back today with another post =)

The lovely and talented Kaylah is one of the very gifted yoga instructors at My Body Yoga Spa located on Mill Street in Occoqua, VA...just across the street and to the left a bit of my studio.

We did a few fun yoga poses and then let Nathan jump in for a couple minutes...or should i say Nathan let Kaylah jump in =)







Nathan was a very good sport =)
Aren't they a gorgeous pair?!!!



Back to work i go..have a good week everyone!!

Meet Cedar =)

I am still here! Been a bad blogger lately as i try and keep up with the Summer rush!

I am in love with Cedar's blond curls and blue eyes..he looks like a baby Paul Newman to me!!
(and with that remark i am showing my age!!!)

Cedar and his Dad Leaf and Mom Tracy were kind enough to make the trip to my favorite shooting area. Cedar was SO good considering this was a very late afternoon session and rather STICKY outside. Here are a few quickies i grabbed for you so you won't have to stay up too late to get your sneak peek.
Thanks so much again...i enjoyed the company and the workout ;-) ox

By the way...babywearing rawks =)







I will hopefully be back with more tomorrow!
Thanks for looking!!

Contentment

that's all i have to say =)

Jonah's ONE!

Hi!

I thought i would jump on real quick and update you on one of THE cutest baby boys. I first photographed Jonah when he was all of 3 days old! Technically i photographed him before that when mom was still carrying him ;-)
His big sister Sarah is also a fave subject of mine too!

On June 5th, Jonah turned one. I can't believe how big he is and how fast he is on his feet!
Check out those amazing blue eyes!

3 days old
