Miss Mikayla is ONE! – Northern Virginia Photographer
It’s hard to believe it’s been a year since I took Mikayla’s newborn pictures! She is now walking, does not like my camera, loves Mickey and can’t wait for Santa to come. It’s fun and exciting to see the changes and watch the little ones grow up.

It was great to see you Ashley and your family!!!
Look at those beautiful blue eyes! It was so fun to follow him around and see life through his eyes for the afternoon!

It’s a secret and we are all dying to know if it’s a boy or girl. Lauren, Tom and Rylee decided they wanted to be surprised (Rylee’s wants a baby sister). For now Lauren has a cute belly bump and she looks great. We took many different pictures, inside and out; exploring new locations even in the cold. I’m personally looking forward to taking pictures when the little one arrives!!
Hartley Family Portraits
Anya won a family portrait shoot I donated at an Open House, I met with them at their home for the portrait session.

You can see the love of a father and son, the love of a mother and daughter, the love of a wonderful family!
Hi Nancy!
We viewed our photo session CD this morning, and we are very impressed and happy!
You did such a great job! I personally especially liked the pictures where you played with colors and light! They are so unique!
And you were so right about pictures where my mom is laughing – they came "real" and "natural".
So thank you very much once again for this wonderful photo session experience!

Yesterday, on my way home from visiting family in State College, Pennsylvania, I popped over to see a dear friend (I can’t call her an old friend because she is young enough to be my daughter); it was so nice to catch up on what’s been going on in our lives and I got a chance to meet her adorable son Caden.
Of course I brought my camera (don’t leave home without it).
Look at those blue eyes and cute smile. So sweet!!
Fall Family Portraits
Fun, Fall, Family Photos with my Favorite Family!! That’s a tongue twister. I met up with my best friend and her family for some long overdue family photos.

A little fun with some props! Such good sports they are
Carolyn and her girls!
Dad and his beautiful daughters; hold tight Jim, they’re growing up fast.
Great Old Barn
There is a small rural corner in Woodbridge that has a big meadow and several old barns. I’ve noticed lately that the construction equipment is coming in and I know that means it will soon be gone as I have known it for over 25 years. I’ve gone there a few times in the past couple weeks to get some pictures at what I think is a great location. Anyone up for a quick pic at this soon to be gone rural location?

The Anderson Family!
Yesterday evening I met with the Anderson family for a photo shoot we have tried to schedule many times. Since they let me pick the location I chose a place that is so close we were able to walk there. It is one of the last corners not yet touched by the suburban sprawl. I know it will be gone soon and I have driven by it for so many years now wanting to explore and take pictures; such a great location. With the 4th of July just days away and a red, white and blue shed I thought it was a great spot for some July pictures. Family pictures are so fun; I had a great time with them!!
Ken and Jen will be celebrating their 20th anniversary this year!! Congratulations
Pictures for Mom with Pat and Amanda
One evening last week I met with Amanda and her brother Pat to take a few pictures for their Mom. Pat was not thrilled with the idea of a photo shoot, but loves his Mom enough and knows it will make her so happy to have some new pictures of her “babies”! He soon warmed up and by the end was willing to do a cute kid picture just for Mom.
