Maryland Toddler Portrait Session

I had the best time photographing 14 month old J at an outdoor session in Silver Spring, MD. She just started walking but she's already super speedy. I got a good workout chasing her around and hope she slept as well as I did that night!

DC Newborn Lifestyle Session

Remember the adorable parents-to-be from a few posts back? Their baby arrived in August and I shot their newborn photos in their apartment last weekend. Baby L is gorgeous and inherited her mama's beautiful strawberry blonde hair. As you can see in the photos, both parents were absolutely smitten and I was so happy to spend my morning with these three. Congratulations MK & R! 

 

 

Fun with Macro

I love renting gear from my nearby camera store before I buy anything new. It's often surprising to me what I end up liking or disliking when I try new lenses. Today I rented a macro lens for a weekend job and I am loving it so far. Here are a few photos from my backyard.

Bear Lake, Utah

I just got back from a short trip to Utah for a family reunion. We stayed in Bear Lake, sometimes called the "Caribbean of the Rockies." We had fun splashing in the lake with lots of cousins and enjoyed a few of the town's famous raspberry shakes.

VA Summer Family Session

This past weekend the Murphy Family gathered to celebrate a milestone birthday. Here are a few favorite shots of the family in their beautiful backyard in Great Falls, Virginia.

Ithaca

I just returned from a quick vacation in Ithaca, NY. If you haven't been, it's a beautiful place to visit. My sister-in-law used to live there, so my family has been a few times. We spent a few days exploring the town and hiking at Buttermilk Falls and Watkins Glen.
