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.

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!

And when I photographed him at six days old, I could see how much both parents absolutely loved him...

Today I photographed this beautiful 7 day old sweetie, Sophia. 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!
