One of the things I love most about portrait photography is getting to watch little babies turn into little kids. It’s so much fun to see how they change every few months between their sessions. And each time I see them, they’re so much the same and so very different than the time before! Lucas had his third portrait session recently. I met Lucas when he was just 5 months old and then got to spend some more time with him when he was about one year and just taking his first steps. Well, now Lucas is running around everywhere and not looking back! This little guy is so much fun – it’s a blast to spend the morning watching him explore everything, stick whatever he can find in his mouth and try to open and close every door in the world. We had some beautiful weather for his session and enjoyed every minute!
Love the Frager’s t-shirt – Capitol Hill represent!!
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.
Vivian turned one year old in December and I was the lucky photographer who got to be there for it! I can’t believe how much this little girl has grown up from her 3-month and 8-month shoots! Vivan is just full of giggles and laughs and she entertains me endlessly! I can’t help but giggle from behind the camera – she is so adorable!
I had to start with this last shot, since it’s my favorite!
When Vivian changed into this outfit, she was so silly – she started doing this funny little scooting dance along the floor – she was clearly very amused!
During snack time, Viv had a very tart apple – look at her cute face!!
There’s nothing like a mom to make things better…
WALKING!!
Vivian – it’s been such a joy to get to watch you grow up! I can’t wait for our next session!
