The last time you saw this family on my blog was when Stephanie was pregnant with Wyatt! Now the sweet little red-head is running around and loving every minute. It was a brisk fall day when we did the Andrews family session at Oregon Ridge; hence the adorable bear hat! Owen didn't seem to mind and loved throwing leaves at everyone in the family.
You may have seen these two before on my blog from their downtown Alexandria engagement session or from their beautiful DIY wedding at The Athenaeum. These two are expecting their first baby in early 2018 and they couldn't be more excited! They also have two adorable American Brittany rescue dogs that couldn't wait to be a part of the shoot.
It is always a treat to have the opportunity to photograph a Ravens family! Eric Weddle has his hands full with his beautiful family; four kids and a gorgeous wife! These kids are so sweet and loved running around during the photo session. The session also included the kids throwing leaves, running through the cornfield and jumping high to touch the sky.
It was a gorgeous fall afternoon on the day that I did the Robinson-Siemen family session. We walked around on the top of Federal Hill and the kids had an amazing time. They especially loved throwing the leaves! Beatrix and Julian are so cute together. Photographing the relationship between siblings is my favorite!
I love this family! The first session I did for them was back in 2015 for Sadie's newborn session. Now she is 2 1/2 and her baby brother Calvin is one! We went to Oregon Ridge for their family session and the leaves were just starting to change color. It was beautiful! I took pictures of Calvin in an adorable little rocking chair with balloons tied to the back, the same as when Sadie turned one!
2014, 2015, 2016, and now 2017! So far this was the best family session yet! Maddie was a little doll in front of the camera. She is full of joy and is such a sweet girl! We walked around the Maryland AG Park and even found a few sunflowers that were still in bloom from September. Throwing leaves, running to mom and dad, and climbing in trees.
This little girl is destined to be a ballerina one day! Her mom danced for years growing up and decorated the cutest ballerina theme nursery for her baby girl. Baby Breleigh is the newest addition to the Manvilla family and she is a doll! Her adorable brother Sawyer was amazing during the newborn shoot. He was kind and gentle while holding her and gave his baby sister lots of kisses!
This past January when I was 36 weeks pregnant with Payton I did a milk bath shoot with my talented friend Hannah. After the shoot, I had hopes to do one for a client someday. Jenn happened to be the beautiful pregnant mom who wanted to do a milk bath shoot and I was so excited!
Oh the cake smash. A popular and adorable way to celebrate a child's 1st birthday! Little Anthony was no exception. We did a mini family session at Goucher before heading back to the Monteiro's home for the cake smash. At first Anthony was confused, but then he dug into the cake; spreading it on his legs and eating all the sugary goodness!
