Avery {Newborn}

I love being asked back! Not only is it the biggest compliment I could receive; but it's so much fun to see clients again and to get the chance to watch these cute little kids grow. So I was as happy as could be when I was asked to come to Charlie's house to photograph his new little sister. Baby Avery was a gentle, sweet baby with some wonderful strawberry blond hair, and it was like my own Christmas present to get a chance to snuggle her!

Avery's mom & dad will get a free 5x7 if this post has 25 different comments in 5 days. So leave them some blog love!!

Judah {Growing}

The fabulous Jewel & Jason have an equally model-worthy son. Blue eyes, wispy curls, and a gentle personality- you can't help but melt! I only got a few minutes with him before I went to work photographing his parents, but was glad to get some face time with his sweet, deep stares.

Enjoy!

Kerri- Maternity

When Kerri contacted me awhile ago, her husband was stationed in Iraq; and she was determined to hold off on her maternity portraits until he arrived home. Sure enough, Kerri made it to our photo shoot just two weeks before she was due to deliver her baby and just one week after her husband Thaddeus had made it safely back into her arms.

Being able to use my lens to capture the images of a soldier freshly back from serving his country, his beautiful wife blossoming with their first baby, and a perfect sunset over the bay on the edge of Fort Belvoir- priceless. I love my job!

If 25 people comment on this post within 5 days, Kerri & Thaddeus will be able to receive a free 5x7.

Mason- One Year

I was back again at Mason's house for his first year pictures. And to my delight, I found curls adorning his adorable little head! He was as bright and cheery as usual, and you should have seen how thrilled he was to devour a chocolate cupcake in honor of his birthday!

Even though Mason and his parents had moved into a new home, they still had the great Noah's Ark picture in the nursery. And we couldn't resist finishing our progressive photos:

As always, if there are 25 different comments on this post within five days, Mason's mom and dad will receive a free 5x7 of their choice.

Olivia- Newborn

Remember the adorable Zack?

Well he's now a big brother! And I was thrilled to be invited back to take newborn photos of his little sister (who looks just like him). She was an absolute doll baby!! At three weeks old, she was the strongest newborn I've ever seen, showing it off by holding her head up for long periods of time. Along with her strength, her sweet little nature was already shining through. So get ready for an overdose of cuteness...

Want to give Olivia's and Zack's parents a free 5x7? Then just leave a comment. If they get 25 comments in 5 days, that's what they'll receive!
