Downtown maternity {Northern Virginia Maternity Photographer}

So I wrapped up my 2008 client calendar doing a maternity session for one of my BFFs in downtown Fredericksburg. She's over 37 weeks now and we had to wait this long for her to be round enough! We had a great time exploring and they are the perfect couple to venture out with; totally in love and alot of fun (i.e. crazy) LOL! Needless to say, there were no serious "kiss the belly" poses- just a lot of laughs! It's been ages since I did a session with friends, and it was the perfect way to end my last official work weekend (I still have her newborn session in Dec)! I can't wait to meet you Delilah!!







This one is for fun, who can tell me what's significant about this picture??! Post your answer in the comments section!

1 year old cutie

Little A was such a good sport, loved being outside despite the cold, and just happy to play! I love lifestyle sessions, while there is a place for posing and backdrops, I just love capturing kids in their environment, being themselves! Thanks for having me over R family, enjoy your peek!



love love love the squat

6 months of love

This little guy, sooo cute I just wanted to squeeze him! He's almost 6 months and is teething so I was very impressed with how long he put up with our shenanigans. Thanks for having me over M family, enjoy your sneak peek!

I was looking at my calendar today and thinking about how last year at this time I had a new baby, feeling somewhat nostalgic! So I've decided to run a special for expecting parents! Anyone who books a newborn session by the end of 2008 (session can be in 2009, just must be booked this year) will receive 50% off of the session fee! So give me a call or drop me an email and we'll get you on the calendar!

And of course a newborn image! :o)

Family of 5

These 3 cute kids were such good sports as we tried to carry out a beachy vision today, braving the 50 degree winds! I didn't hear one complaint and I swear my kids would've whined me to death! What a fun, laid-back family! Hope you guys enjoy your sneak peek and we'll chat soon!





Serious here but oh so adorable

This little girl had a rough start in the hospital, but is home now, happy and healthy! She wanted to stay awake and party with us, but eventually was all partied out and let us do our thing. Her parents are such a great couple and now wonderful parents to his sweet baby girl. Congratulations E & D, hope you enjoy your sneak peek!

This is my third time photographing baby A, well actually the first time was from the outside of her mama's belly! She's grown so much since her newborn session and is so easy-going and happy! Enjoy your sneak peek, it was great to see you guys again!



Yes I made *another* hat with this yarn, I just love it!

This is my second session with this family and their fabulous neighborhood was full of stunning colors of Fall this time. They always dress very fashionable, a photographer's dream! Hope you enjoy the sneak peek C family!





Gorgeous couple!

Brag

I have to brag about my brother again!! He's featured on the Pocket Wizard blog this week, check it out!! http://pocketwizard.wordpress.com/ (The November 6th entry: "Lessee, toothbrush, shampoo, comb, PocketWizards"). As a side note I can't WAIT to see his work from Vegas!!!

Thank you, thank you, thank you

to all of my clients for being so patient! After my computer (operating system) crashed and my computer spent 3 days with the Geek Squad, I've been struggling to catch up ever since. Trust me when I tell you I'm staying up late (1-2am eek!) every night to get everything completed! Not every gallery/order is late, but for those of you who have patiently waited a few extra days, I'll be including a small "thank you" gift with your order! I'm a very timely person- running behind schedule is stressful for me so I appreciate that my clients are so understanding!! :o)
