Who says 15 month olds are hard to photograph? Alexandria Children’s Photographer, Virginia Family Photographer

15 month old toddlers, while challenging to photograph as they want to go, go, go are still so delightful to work with as perfectly exemplified here. There will and always will be unexpected melt downs - (that can be at any age really) normal in between. I had the wonderful opportunity to work with this awesome family, totally hip mom (loved her style) at the gardens in Vienna, Virginia.  I am also sharing here the very first shot taken from the session and believe it or not the very last one.

Isn’t she beautiful? Happy 1st Birthday this week. Bethesda Baby Photographer, Maryland Baby Photographer

ador-ing
According to Merriam-Webster:
adoring
Derived from: adore
Pronunciation: \ə-ˈdȯr\
Function: transitive verb
1 : to worship or honor as a deity or as divine  2 : to regard with loving admiration and devotion <adored his wife>  3 : to be very fond of <adores her precious smiles> 

I had the privilege of photographing this adoring sweet 12 month olds sister, 3 years ago. It was like deja vu, she is a true spitting image of her older sister. I wanted to extend my happiest birthday wishes for this upcoming Thursday as she turns the big “1″. It was a true pleasure to not only have a returning client but a very warm and receptive visit as well. Next time, I hope to see them both together ;)  As always, I tend to lean towards blogging more black and white portraits as they convey the raw emotion at that given moment, timeless. (Plus I know mom favors them as well) …

Live.. all the way from New York City - Washington DC baby photographer

I’d say I feel truly honored my client traveled here from New York City (to see family) and book a session with me. She said, “I love your black and whites ..” {thank you}

The little lady also was sporting some beautiful silver Dolce and Gabanna silver slippers at the end of the session but by then she was tuckered. I would love to know mom, what did her bracelet say in Arabic?

Keeping this brief as I have not been feeling well all week and trying to stay afloat.
