Late but worth it [Northern Virginia newborn photographer]

This little guy came late and kept bumping his photography session, didn't he realize how important his first modeling gig was?? He was so sweet and seemed to look for the shutter click! Congrats C & J, he was worth the wait!

My one year old

Wow, it feels weird to type that. Yep, she's one now, and although I haven't edited any of the pictures I took from her bday or party, I have this one from today! This is a new "prop" I bought- I'm not really into props, but I loved this little ottoman. Also, the hat was knitted by the one and only... *me* lol, it's made with a super soft alpaca/wool yarn (I'm afraid I've developed a serious yarn addiction!). If anyone wants me to bring either of these (or any other hats/accessories you've seen in my images) to your session, just let me know! (I have quite a collection of newborn sized hats) :o)

Who says

Who says you can't get "newborn" looking poses from a 2 month old? Well ok, it's pretty hard, but thanks to a patient and skilled new mama and a cooperative little guy, we pulled it off! Baby "B" did not fuss one single time the entire session. Thanks for having me in your home S family, I hope you enjoy your sneak peek, there are many more to come!

First time doing this pose (baby's idea, thanks baby! lol), looove it!

Baby S [northern virginia baby photographer]

This pretty little girl is the daughter of one of my dear friends (and former roommate, pre-marriage days). She's almost the same age as my Felicity so they have similar mannerisms and are so cute together!

My brother's new website is live!!

I'm very proud to announce that my brother, Aaron Dressin, has finally launched a website so that he can display his amazing work. He's a seriously TALENTED photographer, has a totally different/exciting style, and amazing ideas. He often has a vision of a cool setup and finds a way to execute it, whether it includes a washing machine or a leather jacket! I'm very proud of him, extremely admiring of him, as well as thankful to him, as he gave me the push to explore my own passion for photography years ago. Congrats little brother, YOU ROCK!!!

Real laughs [northern virginia baby photographer]

My 2 1/2 year old, Kennedy has bad case of PCS (photographer's child syndrome) and either runs from me and my camera or gives me the fake plastic smiles! I'd been wanting to spend some time working for real smiles all summer and finally did today. I got her to laugh by saying silly things so these smiles are genuine silliness and happiness! She's such an amazing little girl, I just adore her!

3 month cutie [northern virginia baby photographer]

This family was so fun and relaxed, I enjoyed hanging out with them and taking pictures of their 3 month old baby girl. What I love about this age is that they are still little babies, but are so interested in everything and have more chub than the newborns! She has 2 adorable big brothers to watch out for her! She was very sweet & agreeable and then needed a nap! Thanks M family!

3 weeks early [norther virginia newborn photographer]

This adorable little guy arrived early and is doing wonderful. He's 9 days old and is happy as a clam, just feed him and he's content dozing off or staring around. He loved the sound of the shutter which gave me some great chances to get him staring at me! Congrats "L" family, he's just so stinkin' cute and sweet!

Love the hair!
