This little gal was the center of attention in a recent portrait session and she’s so cute I just had to give her a post all to herself!

I have just had such a wonderful time watching Vivian grow up over the last 15 months!  This darling little girl was only 3 months old when we first met and I’ve gotten to see her grow bigger, learn to crawl and walk and begin to talk – and she even knows some sign language now!  We had a great time during this session on the beautiful grounds of St. Francis Hall and I can’t wait to see Viv again!

Last weekend, amidst all the heat and humidity, I got to spend the morning at the National Arboretum with little Helene, who has the happiest, sunniest smile of all the little girls in the world!  I hadn’t seen Helene and her parents since Helene’s six month pictures, which was well over a year ago.  I can’t even believe how big she is now and still just as full of smiles.  Helene is a busy girl and wanted to explore everything and quickly.  She is especially a fan of steps and loves to go up and down and up and down.  We had so much fun!  This first shot was taken towards the end, but I love it so much, I had to start with it!

It was a warm Sunday morning this past weekend when I met Daisy & Hazel and their parents at the National Cathedral in Washington, DC for their portrait session.  Their family won my session at a charitable auction for Amazing Life Games, a school in DC, and I was delighted to photograph such a sweet and wonderful family!  Daisy & Hazel are just the silliest, goofiest little girls and we had a great time exploring the grounds with their dolls and their parents and enjoying the sunshine.

Sharee is a fellow Hill resident who recently wrote about Studio Juno on The Hill is Home, which is a fantastic blog about everything Hill related – check it out!  So recently, I had the opportunity to get to know Sharee & her husband, Tom, during a photography session on their 10th wedding anniversary.  I say what better way to spend such an important anniversary than cracking open a bottle of champagne from France and heading out for an anniversary photography session!  Sharee & Tom were so much fun and I enjoyed every minute.  We spent some time at Upper Senate Park and then headed over to one of my favorite locations, the Franciscan Monastery in NE DC.
