Birthday Boy !!!!

I love doing 1st birthday sessions!! Lil' "E"'s was sooo much fun!! I'm not too sure who had more fun, baby "E" or his mom . :) She was sooooo excited, and probably one of the most genuine and sweetest ladies that I have met. I couldn't have asked for such a wonderful client.

In some of these pics. you will see Baby "E" carrying around what looks to be a stuffed cake......it was soooo cute, I would love to get one of these for a prop. Mama "A" had everyone at his party sign this keepsake, and she was very stern that she wanted his picture taken with it.......it did not matter how, what or why, it just needed to be in the picture to show that it was his 1st birthday!!!

Too many more birthdays!!! Enjoy!

Baby Girl.."M"

Beautiful, funny, lots of energy...."M' was a wonderful lil' poser. She had all the right moves! She even tilted her head in one of the photos I posted. Without me saying a word....!! How lucky was i!

We took these down by the water.......it was a beautiful sunny day with soo much natural light to work with.

These were a few of my favorites from the session....I had too many, really I did! :)

The D Family Fun...

What a pleasure it was for me to meet this amazing family. K, was such delight and so excited about this family session, and absolutely beautiful. I would love to do a glam session with her, tall and these big beautiful eyes, but not too long after this shoot she told me she was pregnant, sooo maybe some maternity pictures are in the future!!

Her husband D is a new Officer to our Marine Corp "Semper Fi", stationed here on Quantico Marine Base, Va. He too was a lot of fun, great smile, out going personality, and was just going with the flow......gotta love those husbands that are just rollin' with ! :)

They have two sweet spirited children with lots of fun energy, who I think enjoyed being at the beautiful park "Leesylvania" to do this amazing photo session. They were so occupied with the park and running around that I was able to do a little mini-session with D and K, it turned out beautiful!!

I look forward to many more sessions with the D family at least before they are sent off to their next duty station . Maybe we will even see a maternity/newborn session in the near future!
