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.

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!

When I first met Lucas, at his five month session, he was just getting his first cold. Lucas was the grumpiest little guy that day and we were lucky to get one little dimple the whole day!
But last week, I got to see the real Lucas! This little guy is almost one year old now and he is so full of giggles and smiles!
