I am guilty of buying my kids every kind of toy you can think of. The “purely-fun” toy, the “educational” toy, the “old-fashioned-wooden” toy, the “plastic-make-a-ton-of-noise” toy, the “I-know-we-already-have-this-somewhere” toy, the “let’s-just-get-through-the-store-without-any-crying-and-I’ll-buy-you-this” toy, and the “yes, I-got-you-a-book-for-your-birthday. Deal With It!” toy. For nine years I’ve actually thought to myself, this is the toy they are […]
Mother’s day is wonderful time to celebrate motherhood, both new and seasoned. I love to see new mamas celebrating their first mother’s day as a mommy. It’s the perfect time to reflect on the fact that your life has changed in a very special way. But as the years go by it can become easy […]
April showers bring May flowers… but what do we do until then? When there are little ones involved, staying cooped up in house isn’t always an option. Not unless you want to see this mom lose it. Unfortunately for me, getting the kids outfitted for a day in the rain (or more like 30 minutes) […]
My little gal pal, Charlie-bear, made her fairy debut in this fine art maternity session with beautiful new mama Jen and new big sister Cat. Thanks ladies for such a gorgeous session and showing Charlie some fairy love. Congrats on the newest member of your family!
Kids change so much throughout the school year! Spring portraits are a wonderful way to document how they’ve grown.. I’m thrilled to be photographing the infant, toddler and pre-school classes at Kids on the Move this Spring season. Portions of all the orders will help with the cost of the installation of their beautiful new […]
Are Christmas cares a yearly tradition in your family?. For me, they are a time to reach out and reconnect with people that I haven’t seen or talked to in a long time. I want them to know they are still on my mind and in my heart. Not everyone is on social media theses […]
Are you looking for something to do with the kiddos during Christmas break? There are no shortages of events and activies in NoVA. NoVA Parks puts on its Bull Run Festival of Lights every year and it’s a great event for all ages. My kids had a blast as you will see in the gallery […]
Midnight on October 31st is like the Cinderella story of Halloween. But instead of carriages turning into pumpkins, pumpkins turn into, well, Christmas trees. Halloween morning there are pumpkin patches on every corner, and then November first – POOF, they are were gone. Here is to the last of the pumpkin patch kids, before we […]
It’s officially fall and I haven’t even shared my family summer memories yet. Can you tell I’m not ready for summer to be over. I love summer. I think it’s an amazing time of year where the kids really get to just be kids all day long. Every summer we take a family trip with […]
School may be in full swing by now in your neck of the woods, as it is in mine. Hopefully all the kiddos got off to a great start with the right school supplies, a fun back pack, a new pair of kicks, and a great Back To School Portrait to capture the memory of […]
