What a gorgeous time of year…. precisely why everyone wants to do their annual family pictures in the FALL! With peak color falling (ha!) around the second week of November, we were deeply buried in moving preparations and posting fall family sessions fell through the cracks! Here is a quick recap of some of my favorite images for fall 2011:

the Virgin Family – last year they were new neighbor/friends… this year they are some of our dearest neighbor/friends… our kids absolutely love each other. the family simply cannot take a bad picture if they tried. holy cow. we caught some amazing light at Brookside Gardens and had a lovely time together!! 

and the Perieck family…. our original session, down on the beautiful DC tidal basin was a bust because it was soooooooo cold. Poor little Max couldn’t even dream of smiling. So we met up in my neighborhood and enjoyed some late season color AND Max’s beautiful smile.  

and then there are the Knowltons… dear friends and neighbors who are especially cool to me because they have chickens. oh yeah, and not just any chickens, chickens with attitude and personality. and their son, Jeremiah, is one of our favorite little friends in the ‘hood. I took Adelaide with me on this shoot, as my assistant, and she sang and sang to Jeremiah to get those classic Jeremiah smiles and laughs! My cheeks were hurting after this session, from all the smiling and laughing I was doing behind the camera! 

and finally, the Fortunato family…. I had the honor of meeting them and working with them this past summer, and we were able to squeeze in a Fall session before it was all said and done. Ollie is a DOLL…. his smile and big blue eyes are just to die for. I so enjoy working with clients through the year(s)… it gives me much joy to help document and see the growth and milestones of these kiddos!

And my last mini-session to post…..

E & S are two of my girls’ best friends on the block. They play, they fight, they giggle, and they get REALLY excited when they see each other. It has been so fun and enjoyable to get to know this family and again, to have such wonderful, wonderful neighbors in our new hometown!

The B & P families are neighbors and good friends. And they are in my neighborhood, too! And man, these kiddos are waaaaay too cute for words. So I will let the images speak for me. Get ready to “oooh” and “ahhh” at the cuteness! It was great meeting you all and I hope we connect again in the ‘hood! Blessings to you all this fun fall/holiday season!!

First up, the B family:

And the P family….

Whew – what a day! What a GORGEOUS day with gorgeous families and kids and couples. It couldn’t have gone better. I will be adding a few single and combined posts as I process the images…

Meet the V family. A D O R A B L E. And we are neighbors. As in we can stare into each other’s houses. Two year old E and my Sydney are pals. Such a sweet family and I am so blessed to have friends like these guys living in the neighborhood!

Ah, what can I say…. I love my job. I get to meet fabulous people, adorable kiddos and capture precious memories and moments for families. And we get to do it all while playing at a park. Yup, I do love my “job.”

The “L” family had the most adorable daughters… who reminded me of the dark haired-dark eyed versions of my two girlies. The girls (and parents) were fabulous subjects.. and incredibly easy and fun to work with. It was so nice to meet you all…. hope we run into each other again at the park sometime! I think our daughters would have a blast playing together!

Mr. E is an adorable 21 month old with expressions and personality galore. My favorite moment is when he started mimicking his mom saying “come on honey!” It was precious! The light was simply delicious towards the end of the session. Mr. E was a blast to chase around and capture on camera!
