What better way to spend a drizzly afternoon than in a cozy living room with a bunch of fun and goofy kids?!  I had so much fun with this family recently – these kids had me laughing hysterically the whole time with all their crazy antics.  After some great family portraits in some chilly overcast weather, we headed inside to relax.  Grace promptly changed into her best princess costume, which is something I think we should all do more often.  Aidan turned on some great Irish tunes and showed me his amazing dancing.  And after Ian & Kellan, the twin boys, had their dinner, they cast off their shirts, as babies love to do, and turned on the charm!  And seriously, just try to resist those adorable chubby smiles icon smile Family Portraits | Virginia Portrait Photography

These two little guys look soooo alike – I don’t know how their parents tell them apart – I sure can’t!

This post is all about babies – and not only that, but a couple of the cutest babies Capitol Hill has to offer!  In preparation for an upcoming exhibit of photos of ‘kids on the hill,’ I recently photographed these two adorable girls.  Lindsey is about 6 months and came to my studio bright and early one more for a little giggling and hat-wearing.  The hat with the little ears was made by SugarB Baby – check it out!

And sweet little Ava was only 6 days old in these photos!  She was so precious I could hardly stand it!!  Newborns are so fascinating.  They do so little and yet you can’t help but just stand and watch and ooh and ahh at every little movement and expression.

Little Evan has grown so big!  I had such a nice time with him and his parents last year, when Evan was just 8 months.  And this year, I got to meet his extended family too! Evan is so full of energy and curiosity and excitement – we were all so entertained by him all morning!

I’m editing like mad right now trying to keep up with all the holiday orders, but I found a bit of time on Sunday to visit my friends Regan & Bill and their beautiful boy, Patrick. I photographed Patrick when he was just a wee wrinkly little guy and it was so fun to see him again, twice as big, with a big smile and ruddy cheeks! So amidst all the hustle, let me take a moment to wish everyone a wonderful holiday season!

Elf+P%24 Happy Holidays!!

As I edit these pictures, I see all the snow falling outside the window and press my toes to the radiator to keep them warm. And it’s really strange to think that my session with Caris & Evan and their parents was only about a week ago! It was a gorgeous sunny fall day such a short time ago and now the snow is coming down!
Caris & Evan are such cuties – Caris is about three and half and Evan is just seventeen months. Caris was full of smiles and wanted to show me everything – her ballet moves, her best stuffed monkey, how high she could swing and her favorite books. Evan was not sure that my camera and I were really a welcome sight. He definitely eyed me very suspiciously, but we got a few smiles here and there – after all, it’s hard to pay attention to the weird camera when there are so many other great things to capture your attention!

Sometimes the really sad faces are just as precious as the happy ones!
