Julia’s Blogfest

This is a session where I just appreciate the warm, summer evenings all that much more.  Great light, great temps, and it certainly helped to have a happy, sitting up baby!  Funny enough, this family found me thru the internet but lives in my old community!

Such fun to have all these newborn sessions this past winter and spring.  Baby Silvie is actually 4 months old which isn’t the norm for me in terms of shooting.  She was an extremely happy and easy-going wee one so we had a great session.  What I forgot about this age is that they LOVE to jam their fists into their mouths…so aside from her glowing personality, we had to work around this hilarious aspect of being 4 months!

I completely forgot to blog about a belly session last month and since then these new parents have come in for their newborn session.  I am so honored to have been selected to be their photographer.  Little Miss “C’s daddy owns and is one of the instructors for my boys thrice-weekly TaeKwonDo classes at Capitol Martial Arts Academy.  I have fallen in love with this place as have they since last August when we started.   Unfortuantely, we’ll have to move on later this summer once we get into a routine in our new community which isn’t as close to the school as we are now.  But at least we got a year in!

Congrats on baby “C”!!

It’s shameful how long it’s been since I blogged but I have a great excuse.  I have been getting my house ready for the market since January for one but we not only bought a house in late February, but we listed ours and sold it in 10 days following that!  WHOOOSH!  That’s how fast it’s all be going.  I am scaling back work for the next couple of months but will be fulfilling bookings that were made prior to this major life change.  Thankfully, we are moving locally to Fairfax Station, VA.  So if you are one of my spring portrait or wedding clients, please bear with me as my schedule and workflow will be much slower.

Anyway, a couple weeks ago I had a wonderful newborn session with a past client.  Miss “A” made her modeling debut here in-studio –she was only 6 days old.  And she slept 2 1/2 hours of her 3 hour session.  That made for some easy and great shots.

This was a great session.  The Roebuck family was given this newborn session as a baby shower gift from mom’s childhood friend.  How generous is that?  Little Master Roebuck was just over 2 weeks old in this session.  He was born during our massive December 22″ snowstorm!  Talk about a monumental entrance!
