These two super cuties were so much fun to spend the morning with yesterday at the National Cathedral in Washington, DC!  The weather was absolutely perfect and in addition to enjoying some sunshine, I learned all about the joys of pine cones, bubbles, heavy gates, maracas, and how very tasty rabbit-shaped snacks can be!

I love how she sticks her tongue out the corner of her mouth in concentration as she leads her family down the steps – too cute!

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.

Another beautiful day at the grounds of the National Cathedral! This is quickly becoming one of my favorite places for sunshiney outdoor sessions!
The Davies looked so great in all their yellow and blue and perfectly matched the mood of the weather!

Tess is almost 3 and she was a bit camera shy at first, but once I started asking her about her favorite foods (pizza and macaroni & cheese, by the way – very good choices), she couldn’t help but give me a few giggles.

Last Saturday was the first time I’ve shot a portrait session at the National Cathedral grounds.  It’s fabulously gorgeous there!  After getting rained out twice and having to reschedule, we finally got a sunny morning and the Messners turned out in style icon smile Family Ties   Washington DC Family Portrait Photography

Every family has a unique dynamic, but this family – they all just seem to get along wonderfully.  We just sort of walked around and hung out and they all just joked and laughed and played and had a great time together – it was really fantastic!

Isabel was a total hoot!  She’s only 5, but she is so fantastically entertaining.  Perhaps the many faces of Isabel will help explain (please note that this display was entirely unprovoked!):
