Olivia, Ava & Leighton’s Family Sneak Peek – Northern Virginia Family Photographer

ryanzook — Tue, 08 Nov 2011 00:13:00 +0000

I met with Jason, Ashley, and their three beautiful girls for a newborn/family photo shoot. Leighton was only 5 days old, but had a full head of hair. We had a great time together trying new and interesting poses. Here’s one of my favs.

A few more of Leighton looking cute.

A couple black and whites. The stroller buggy was not the most comfortable place to sleep, but good for a quick shot!

Olivia and Ava are going to be great older sisters!

A few family pictures. Congrats on the latest addition to your family!

Corey, Tim, Kyle & Tanner’s Family Shoot – Northern Virginia Family Photographer

I met with Corey and her fun-loving family for a photo shoot in Ashburn. Here’s a sneak peek of a few of my favorites, including this one of Kyle!

A couple more of Kyle…

Kyle and Tanner all smiles!

Tanner playing with mommy. So cute.

Kyle with daddy and mommy. I love the “I’m not going to smile” smile in the 2nd picture!

Some family pictures… I think the first one could be great for this year’s holiday card!

Corey & Tim, it was great meeting you and your family. Next time, we’ll have to plan a session with just the two of you so the boys can’t hop into the picture!

Laney & Co. Newborn Sneak Peek – Northern Virginia Newborn/Family Photographer

ryanzook — Mon, 14 Feb 2011 18:15:00 +0000

Laney, short for Dulaney, was 9 days old when we got together for our newborn/family photo shoot. Mommy had a pretty basket which worked perfect for several shots. This is one of my all-time favorites. In addition to the photo below, I included a sample of “actioned” pictures that show additional options for post-processing. For newborn photo shoots, I generally stick with a standard post-processing style…

Sleeping beauty.

I was amazed at how blonde her hair was.

Laney in her tutu… you’d never know she was crying in this photo.

A picture of the boys…

Ethan and Ben are going to be great older brothers!

These two pictures cracked me up.

The rare “holiday card” family photo.

This was too funny to not post! IMO, this is the perfect family picture

Mav’s Family – Northern Virginia Family Photographer

I took newborn pictures of Mav almost five months ago. He was such a happy baby during our holiday photo shoot as you can tell from the picture below. I look forward to our next session together where I’m sure he’ll be running all over!

Here are pictures of newborn Mav and five month old Mav. He’s grown up so quickly, but still has his big blue eyes.

Tummy and bumpo time!

Mommy and Mav together. One of my favorites!

Some family pictures by the beautiful garland in their house.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

The K Family “Mini Session” – Northern Virginia Family Photographer

ryanzook — Sun, 05 Dec 2010 13:07:00 +0000

I met with the “K” family for a few photos. It was cold outside, but we were able to take a quick outdoor shot before heading inside. It was fun hanging out with Aidan and meeting baby Ryan… ahem, great name!

Aidan goofing off by the tree!

Happy Holidays!

Kevin, Andria, and Aubree – Northern Virginia Family Photographer

Last year I met with Kevin & Andria for a “themed” maternity photo shoot at the Willard Hotel in Washington, D.C. A year later, the adorable Aubree is 10 months old and almost walking! We braved the cold weather for a 20 minute “mini” session in Leesburg, VA. Here are a few of my favorites.

An “artsy” one of them on the bench.

A picture from Kevin & Andria’s maternity shoot. This is one of my all-time favorites!

Booking Portrait Sessions & Weddings…

ryanzook — Thu, 18 Nov 2010 16:00:00 +0000

Are you considering booking a portrait session in 2011? If so, contact me for availability and to lock in my 2010 pricing. The session fee includes all of the digital files & personal use rights to all photos! Portrait sessions include engagement, senior/graduates, maternity, newborn, family, trash the dress, bridal, boudoir, or just because. To lock in 2010 pricing, portrait sessions must be paid for by the end of January 2011, but can be redeemed anytime.

Group sessions are great for high school senior or “just because” portraits. By booking with a couple friends, you can have a great time together while receiving a discount! Ask me about portrait party and multiple session discounts.

Based on demand, my 2010 wedding pricing is good for weddings booked (contract and deposit received) by the end of January 2011, too.

Julie, Bret, Ava, & Jenna Sneak Peek – Northern Virginia Family Photographer

ryanzook — Thu, 28 Oct 2010 16:52:00 +0000

I met a super nice family with two adorable little girls, Ava and Jenna, at Meadowlark Gardens for a photo session. For a late October afternoon, we couldn’t have asked for better weather. I hope you enjoy your sneak peek and I look forward to possibly shooting your 5-year anniversary photos. For blog followers, enjoy the larger pictures!

Some really, really cute pictures of Ava…

Pictures with mommy and daddy…

Ava with her little sister, Jenna. This is one of my favorites!

The Itsy-Bitsy Spider and the ABC songs are Jenna’s favorites and helped to bring out smiles.

Jenna and mommy.

A few more cute pictures of Ava posing and hugging Jenna.

A few pictures of Julie and Bret, who just finished celebrating their 5-year anniversary. Congrats!

Terri’s Family – Northern Virginia Family Photographer

ryanzook — Tue, 21 Sep 2010 13:10:00 +0000

I met with Terri’s family at Occoquan Regional Park for some pictures with her family. Terri’s son was interested in the wildlife and the history of women’s prison (seen in a few pictures below). Terri’s daughter, like most almost two year olds, had her own agenda! The whole family had fun chasing her around the park, while I enjoyed capturing a few moments of their time together. Terri, I hope you enjoy the sneak peek of the pictures and I look forward to our next session.

A few black and white pictures…

Christmas with the Zooks

ryanzook — Mon, 28 Dec 2009 04:55:00 +0000

Here are some family pictures of our first Christmas holidays with Brayden! I didn’t take a lot of pictures on Christmas morning because we were busy opening presents and playing with his new toys, but I did take a few leading up to the day! Below is a photo of Brayden fascinated by the lights on the tree…

A few holiday shots…

A winter wonderland in Lansdowne…

Baking cookies for Santa Claus… (as you can tell, they’re not from scratch)!

Christmas morning pajamas…

Trucks, tricycles, slides, castles, books, a new pair of skis, and of course…

…Tickle Me Elmo!
