Child Photography Session: Hot Air Balloon - Leesburg, VA

What a wonderful day it was for a hot air balloon ride! Well, Chase's "hot" air balloon didn't really make it off the ground, but he still had fun!  He was such a trooper, keeping his aviator cap on the whole time and showing off his giggly smile.  Surprisingly, he pretty much left the balloon alone and I was able to get some great shots of him.

Easter Newborn Session: Grayson - Berryville, VA

Baby Grayson was ready for his Easter photoshoot with his adorable chick onesie.  He arrived just in time to celebrate this holiday!

Newborn Session: Daniel - Leesburg, VA

What a sweet little guy!  Daniel was 2 weeks old at the time of the photo shoot and luckily he was still a very sleepy baby.  I was able to do multiple sets with him and even got a few shots of Daniel with his big brother.  There were a few breaks in between for a little fussiness and feedings, but as soon as he cuddled up with the blanket, he was asleep once again.

Bubble Bath Portrait Session: Chase - Leesburg, VA

This photo shoot was so much fun!  I laughed the whole time just watching Chase's expressions and excitement as he splashed that bubbly water everywhere.  Bubbles were flying through the air, suds were plastering to his face and duckies held on for dear life!  Chase didn't want the fun to end...but I needed to rescue the hardwood floors.

Child Portrait Session: Ari - Ashburn, VA

It's been so much fun to see Ari grow these past 9 months and I'm thrilled every time I get to capture his next stage in life.  For past portrait sessions, Ari has been the perfect subject with his cute smile and little giggles.  This time around he wasn't full of grins so both mom and I had to work pretty hard to get this little guy to crack a smile.  I loved all of his outfit changes and even his cute little "attitude" so he now goes by the nickname Mr. Model.  I can't get enough of his cuteness!

Stunning. Elegant. Southern California Wedding.

When my dear friend, Christine, asked me to be the photographer for her wedding, I was excited and honored that she had asked me.  I had so much fun shooting her wedding in a gorgeous southern California setting and I also learned a lot about what it takes to be a wedding photographer.  The bride looks absolutely beautiful against the blue and green backdrop and I love the elegance that is portrayed in these pictures.
