It's not every day that I have the opportunity to photograph a beautiful woman and her dog, so today was a lot of fun!

We took a morning walk through the historic streets of Occoquan, Virginia.  It was an adventure for Hope and me - I've never visited there before and Hope found plenty of new things to explore.

Amelia was born early, but thankfully, is thriving at home now.  

It was a challenge photographing her with sweet brother-dog, Baxter.  I caught several sweet moments though, so I am thrilled.

I even managed to capture some smooches between mom & dad, images like that just make me happy!

What a beautiful winery!  I visited here as the second half of a photography class organized by REI and it was amazing.  Our small group enjoyed a tasting of their signature wines and then were shown the aging room, where barrels were shelved four high and many times that deep! 

It was a gorgeous day and I'm thrilled to share these with you.

Just one word...

Beautiful...

Thank you for taking and sharing this awesome photograph, Anurag Singh, and best of luck with your photography, I think you're off to a great start!

She preferred snuggling with her momma but I was able to capture some lovely images for this sweet family.

Happy 1st Birthday Armaan!

In late March, I was approached by the director of a local Montessori school about photographing her staff in a "not-so-posed-school-picture" kind of way.  We ended up having dreary and drizzly weather that day, but these ladies smiled through all of it.  I had the opportunity to spend a few minutes with each, learn a little about who they are, and why they love their jobs.  I admire their great care in preparing our children to be strong and independent as they step into a very unpredictable world.

Here are just a few from that morning!  It was an honor to record a moment with each of these very outstanding women.

I met his mom a few weeks ago when she came to my home for her maternity portraits.  As we chatted during the session, I learned just how special this little guy would be once he arrived.  And when I photographed him at six days old, I could see how much both parents absolutely loved him.  Not just a little prince, but a precious gift!  Welcome Mason, you are so very loved.

It was a great morning with this family, they were gracious and kind, and I'm so happy they shared their new daughter with me.  I even captured a few giggles between mom & dad - I can't tell you how magical it is when I catch those moments... Such a beautiful family!

These are from our first session this season with the P Family, you'd never guess it was 80+ degrees out that day!  Mom and Dad were incredibly friendly and their sweet daughters made it easy to capture some great moments!  Thank you again P Family, it was so nice to meet you!

His big sisters were nervous but excited to hold him, I'm sure they love helping mom and dad out!

I love being able to capture these once in a lifetime moments so they can be treasured forever.

(This dress was special to their mom, she'd worn it at the same age!)

The heat and humidity that morning had us all sweating by the end, but we still managed some great shots!

Big sister was more than happy to sneak in for a few great shots!

(even his yawns were adorable!)

I photographed one of mom's baby showers and then after Oliver arrived mom and dad also joined in for some portraits.

The black & white one with dad's hands cradling his little head is my absolute FAVORITE!

I'm so thankful her mom allowed me to capture these images of Sofia only days after bringing her home from the hospital.

His grandma was there too, and I was thrilled to include her in the session, there's just something about capturing the different generations that makes me smile!

Don't you love her big blue eyes?
