Great Falls, Virginia Photography Session | Sneak Peek

Here is a sneak peek from yesterday's session. This family was so much fun. Their little girl reminded me so much of oldest daughter at age one, so full of energy and spunk. We met at Great Falls Park in Virginia. I hadn't been in years and it was great to be back at the park. I had forgotten just how gorgeous it is and I can't believe how long I've been away. I'm already planning a trip to take my family there. Thanks for a great morning....definitely more to come! Enjoy, Sally

Family Session in Washington, D.C.

I'm still catching up from last month's sessions. This one was a very fun session with a very active 13-month old. He was just starting to walk on his own and was very much into exploring the world around him. We met up at the family home and then headed over to a park in Georgetown. It was a great morning--perfect weather and a smiley toddler. A photographer's dream! Thanks for such a fun morning! Enjoy, Sally


I was totally smitten when I saw his gorgeous brown eyes.


You can get a glimpse of their yard. Gardening is a shared passion of Mom and Dad and we spent a great deal of time in the backyard with all the lovely plants and the fish pond. It was so relaxing.




Love the little wet toes.
When I arrived he was just finishing up a little morning snack. He was so incredibly charming with his cute smiles I had to get out my camera and start the shoot right away.

Tennessee Friends

Late last winter some dear friends of ours moved to Knoxville, TN. Last month during our road trip we were able to spend some time with them at their new home. I have to be honest, I had a little house envy. :) Their home is lovely and we are so happy for them, but we sure do miss them. Hopefully they'll be up for a visit soon. (Hint, hint!) Miss you! Sally

Baby Boy

I'm back from my time-off and will have some images to share from my trip soon, but in the meantime I've been doing some catching up on my editing. Here are a few favorites from a quick session from Tennessee. We stopped by to visit one of my husband's friends from college. He and his wife just had their first child and I had to take a few pictures of the new addition. Their little baby was so cute and slept pretty much the entire time we were there. He was a perfect trooper for his first photo shoot. Enjoy! --Sally

The Beach House session

In July (I can't believe it is already August!!!) I met this family of six at their beach house in Maryland. We had a fantastic evening session with great light. The kids did so well. I had a great time with them and got some really fun images. Thanks for a fun evening by the beach! Enjoy, Sally

Beach House Sneak Peek

Here's a little sneak peek from my family session Saturday evening. I was excited when I took this image and couldn't wait to get home and see it on my big screen. :) Everything just worked well: soft light, gorgeous hardwood floors, and a quiet moment with mom and daughter. The light in the master bedroom of this beach house was so soft and lovely. We spent much of the session there. Can't wait to share more! Enjoy, Sally

An afternoon at the park

Earlier this month I spent a fun afternoon at a park near Centreville, VA with Monica and her family. Monica is a fellow photographer from Houston, TX that was up visiting family here in Northern Virginia. Since all the family was (finally!) going to be in one area she wanted to get some pictures taken. I was so happy to hang out with this family and get some images of them spending time with each other. Thanks for a fun afternoon! --Sally


This guy had an obsession with Spider-man! :)



Smoooooch!

I just love this shot. I love the emotions running through it.

Three Generations

Last Friday afternoon I had a special family session. The siblings (and their spouses and children) had all gathered at their parents home and wanted to have a big family photo taken. It was so fun to spend time with this warm and friendly family. I took some posed shots, but my favorites are the ones that happened "in-between", those real-life moments. Enjoy! --Sally



The whole family....



Love those sweet baby legs!



I love the little guy holding on to him mom's dress.
