Arlington VA Child Portrait Photographer – Gabriel

When Gabriel’s mom warned me that he was “active for his age”, I expected the worst, but thankfully it turns out he’s a little ham and loved the camera! – Just as long as his parent’s didn’t try to get into the picture and steal the spotlight, of course. I don’t think any one or two year old takes well to being constrained. So, patience, time, and realistic expectations are the key ingredients for a successful toddler portrait shoot.
Gabriel is a beautiful boy and it was so much fun to catch up with his parents, as I was their wedding photographer a few years ago for their Washington DC wedding. You can find some of their wedding pictures here. I just love their old DC church, St. Dominic’s, it’s gorgeous!
And now, here’s their blue-eyed boy! Isn’t he a cutie with those curls!? His mom did a great job dressing him too, I love those fall colors in his sweater. And I think the red did bring out his lips and cheeks, good job Susan!
