I am loving the spring-like weather we have had the past couple of weeks, even the rain! I have the first signs of spring showing in the garden, with the crocuses in full bloom, and a few early daffodils as well. Just had to share one of my beautiful crocuses. They are so short-lived, but always a welcome sight after a long winter.

I got to meet this little guy last August for his newborn session, and today he was back with mom and dad and big brother. It was so nice to have a sitter in the studio after a string of busy one-year-olds, and this little guy was in that perfect [for photos] stage where he can sit unassisted and not yet crawling or walking.

We have had a streak of lovely weather here, so the girls and I were able to get some modeling sessions done and enjoy being outside. These adorable sister sets are by Kathryn Rose Designs. You can find her store on Etsy.

This sweet little girl was as curious as she was adorable, and kept me on my feet. We were playing with blocks, helping her climb on benches, and playing hide and seek much of the session. And like most of the little girls I know, she didn’t let her fancy dresses get in the way of a little fun!

I’m so happy this wonderful mom and her sweet daughter found me through Celebrating Adoption and I got to do a session for them this morning. I know my CA clients go through a lot to bring home their children, and I am so happy when I get the chance to capture their new family in portraits. This little cutie was only 3 months old, and as adorable as a little doll. It’s not hard to see the joy she has brought to her mommy, and the special bond they share.

I’m excited to share the newest cover of Fairfax Woman Magazine March/April Edition, featuring my image. You can grab a free copy at Metro stations and grocery stores around the Fairfax County area. These ballerinas were just a joy to work with. I also got to do some individual images of their poses and headshots, which will be part of their feature article.
