I recruited this little doll to help me try out some new props, and what a sweet little thing she is! Two months old, but only tipping the scales at 8lbs. The gorgeous cocoon is from Tricky Knits, and the little bear hat is from Beachwalkphoto.
My parents were visiting for Easter, so we took this opportunity to take some family portraits of our own. Here are a couple of the girls and one with their Pop Pop. We also got some of me in front of the camera instead of behind!
We received these beautiful mermaid dresses from Painted Butterfly Studio with matching bows from Bow a’la Mode and I just knew they had to be modeled at the beach. Of course, we don’t live terribly close to the beach, so it was a little excursion for us. The location is Chesapeake Beach, on the Maryland’s western shore of the Chesapeake Bay. It’s only about an hour drive from Vienna. It was much too cold for the water, but the girls had fun running barefoot on the beach and playing in the sand.
I was super excited to meet this little girl this morning– she is the 6-day-old daughter of some wonderful friends. It’s great to get them in the studio so young because they’re so easy to work with. She was just a doll, and I enjoyed spending the morning with her mommy, daddy, and grandmother.
These little girls were the tiniest babies I have photographed yet–together just over 10 lbs. We worked hard for these precious moments, but it was totally worth it to see how adorable they looked all snuggled together.
The strange weather today proved perfect for a visit to the cherry blossoms on the tidal basin in Washington, DC. The day started out with thunder and downpour, but by the time we made it to Jefferson Memorial, the sun was peeking out and the wet blossoms were falling like snow.
