Last but Absolutely Not Least

My boys!  I am grateful that they didn’t have to freeze this year because of the milder weather we’ve been having.  That meant not too much whining and no constant demands that I was only allowed to “take just one more”.  I love these boys to pieces and was stuck in the moment while editing.  I get to stare at them without them telling me to stop and I can just hear the laughter of their session.

It was bitter sweet this time around.  I’m not sure why.  They are growing into life filled little individuals and I’m proud but at the same time I got teary eyed because they aren’t babies anymore.  J didn’t flash too many silly faces this time and cooperated extremely well.   E hammed it up with no direction from me.  I was shocked!  Usually it’s me telling them to please not stick their tongue out, please look at me, please act like you like your brother.  Not this time, the requests were minimal.  I just sat back and shot away!

Believe me I was over the moon when I had a chance to sit down and go through their session.   They make my heart so full and their handsome little faces make me sigh.

Happy Holidays!

Happy Holidays

Happy Holidays!  I went through all of my 2011 sessions and picked out some of my favorites.  Thank you to all my clients, family and friends for allowing me to capture your families, children and precious life events.  I love reflecting back at each session I shoot every year.  It was quite a busy year.

I’m blessed to have a wonderful husband and two sweet, handsome boys.  Year after year they continue to support my passion and have a huge amount of patience during my busy season.

I hope each of you has had an amazing holiday and I hope to capture you all again in 2012!

Holiday 2011

Rainy Day Fix

How about two handsome little guys to brighten your rainy day?

How Can it Be

I can’t believe the time that has passed.  “M” just celebrated her 5th birthday and “G” his 7th!  Then there’s “E”…she was our flower girl and wasn’t quite 3 yet.  A little over 10 years ago.  I think she’s amazed me the most by how much of beautiful young little lady she’s turning into.  I still think of their mama as the little girl that ran all the way home because we gave her a nickname on her cup at a birthday party.  Then the whole party ran after her.  I wonder how crazy we must have looked.  It wasn’t just down the road- it was probably a good mile. We still laugh about that….I guess she’s not upset about it anymore.

 

 

Little Negotiator~Ashburn, Va Family Photographer

Little “A” is already a little negotiator.  She was done with our session pretty much when we started but we made a deal near the very end.  She could keep my headband if she would show me her princess smile a few more times.  Deal!  Her little brother was a charmer and only needed to hear his name to be all smiles.
