Graham’s Sneak Peek – Northern Virginia Newborn Photographer

I met with Jonathan and Hailey again to shoot newborn photos of their cute baby boy, Graham.  Here are a few of my favorites!  (BTW, it is great when the clients have interesting crates, boxes, suitcases, and more for props.  * HINT HINT *)

Here is luggage that has been in the family for over a century.  I love the yawn in the 2nd picture.

Hailey’s Maternity Session – Northern Virginia Maternity Photographer

I met with Hailey and Jon for some maternity pictures in Ashburn on a perfect rainy day.  Despite the wet weather, it was great conditions for shooting.  Here is a sneak peek of a couple of my favorites!

We had to find some cover… the first one is one of my favorites with the water dripping down.

Adrienne’s Newborn Sneak Peek – Northern Virginia Newborn Photographer

I met with with Branden and Sandy to take pictures of their new little girl, Adrienne.  She was as adorable as it gets.  While she only liked to be on her side, she was a good sleeping baby allowing us to try different outfits and headbands.  Here are a few of my favorites.

Myrtle Beach, SC

We were in Myrtle Beach for family vacation and had a chance to snap a few pictures on the beach.  Brayden is 2 1/2 years old and Landon is 8 months.  Enjoy!

Rio de Janiero, Brazil

I had the opportunity to travel to Brazil on a business trip last month.  After the conference was over, I spent a day of sightseeing in Rio before returning home.  Here’s a short video of my time visiting Christ the Redeemer statue at the top of Corcovado mountain, the gondolas of Sugarloaf mountain, walking the streets of downtown Rio, and strolling the beaches of Copacabana and Ipanema.  The song I picked for the video is “The Girl from Ipanema” which is the beach our hotel overlooked.  Enjoy!  (After clicking the arrow to “play,” you may want to pause it and wait for the video to load).

While I spent most of the time shooting video, here are a few snapshots with fun effects!  The fallen cross (in Salvador)…

Addison’s Newborn Sneak Peek – Northern Virginia Newborn Photographer

At only 6 days old, Addison was a perfect newborn baby model.  She slept, didn’t cry, only pooped on my blankets twice, and most importantly, looked as cute as can be.  I haven’t decided if Addison looks like Wes or Kristie (see their maternity pictures here), but I do know she looks adorable in this tutu.

Baby girls are so much easier to accessorize!  Here are some cute headbands.
