Darian and Milan’s mom arranged for a photo shoot of the brothers, to create a surprise gift for their grandmother. I’m sure pictures of her two grandsons will bring a smile to her face!

Baby Katie is growing fast! It seems like just a few weeks ago that I was taking her newborn pictures. Big brown eyes and baby chub – it doesn’t get any sweeter! And isn’t her first outfit absolutely perfect for pictures in a garden? Love it!
We finally had perfect weather, but our little model, who apparently was so excited about the shoot that she tried to skip her afternoon nap, was a little sleepy!
She’s trying very hard to be a good girl and not pick the flowers or eat the mulch.
There’s a smile, but boy did Daddy have to work hard for it!
Love these interactive shots! She adores her Daddy!
The District Weddings blog had a little post last Friday that featured Melissa’s beautiful wedding shoes from her cherry blossom wedding last spring at Belmont Country Club in Ashburn, VA. When my assistant and I arrived at the Lansdowne Resort to photograph Melissa getting ready, we immediately loved her shoes too! There are so many fun ways to personalize a wedding and make the day truly reflect your personality. Shoes are a perfect place to put in a splash of color and style!
Kelly and Andy dreamed of getting married under the legendary Osage Orange tree at River Farm in Alexandria Virginia. But a rainy forecast resulted in setting up an extra tent for the garden ceremony, just in case. It was such a nice surprise to wake up to sunshine on their wedding day! The one rain shower during dinner resulted in a little rainbow over the Potomac River. I am so glad the day exceeded Kelly and Andy’s expectations all the way around! The decor was lush and vibrant with lots of fuchsia, orange and spring green. Enough color to match Kelly and Andy’s excitement for and enjoyment of their wedding day. Congratulations you two!
