A Sunny Day in January

I took pictures before the holidays for a local Alexandria family and they shared the photos with a neighbor. The neighbor called me in the new year to schedule pictures for her son's family. They wanted to capture a bit of the city without being too touristy since they've spent a good portion of their lives as locals. We lucked out and had the most gorgeous day with unusually warm weather. It was really windy by the water, but they were good sports and adjusted. We wandered around and tried to capture various scenes. These boys were by far the most well-behaved and cooperative teenagers/preteens I've ever been introduced to. They were an absolute joy to work with. Here are my favorites:

Christmas Pictures in Chevy Chase

I am so far behind in blogging about my photo sessions! But in my efforts to get back up to speed, here's a look at a session I did for a wonderful family in Chevy Chase, MD. I took pictures for the wife's brother's family a few weeks earlier, and they liked the shots and hired me! Thank goodness for word of mouth:)

Here are some of my favorites:

After our indoor shots with the Christmas decor and their fancy clothes, they all changed into "play" attire and we walked to a nearby park to take a few more pictures:

It's dark, but I absolutely love this shot.

Who could resist this sweet doggie?!
