Four Generations

Four generations photo opportunities just don’t come by very often. Here is a family session from spring. Grandma drove from Texas to pickup great grandma from Nebraska before uniting with the younger generations inÂ VirginiaÂ for this very special occasion.

Newborn: Ali G

JG and his wife gave me an opportunity to photograph their newborn Ali G. Personally me is a big fan of the other Ali G. Anyway, Ali was maybe 4 weeks old and she was already a bit too big for newborn pictures. So if you are interested in some newborn photos, please contact me before prior delivery. The earlier the better.

Again, thanks for a great time. Ali is super cute and her bigger sister surely adores her.

Ella’s 2nd Birthday

Earlier this year, I took John and Niki’s family photos. We had a lot of fun. So this month when they were having a party for Ella’s 2nd birthday, they invited me as a guest. Friends and family gathered for a nice meal and fun. Niki’s dad baked cupcakes and her friend, Daphne, made lovely pink icing. John rolled up his sleeves, throw steaks on the grill and showed off his famous Gambas al Ajillo dish. At one point, Ella and her little friends literally used cupcakes as sponges and painted their faces with icing. I was glad I captured those moments for them.

I also did a family portrait session for them while Niki’s parents were in town. Will post them soon. Thanks for tuning in.

Shirley + Husband + Kids

I did this photo shoot of Shirley and her family earlier this year. Shirley, who used to work with my wife, always wanted to have family portrait photos taken. The first time we tried to arrange the shoot one of her kids got sick the day before so we had to call it off. A month later we ended up at Fairfax Lake Park in Reston, VA on a beautiful Saturday afternoon. Shirley chose the outfit for the entire gang. White shirts and blue jeans. At the beginning, the kids were really shy. One of the boys even covered the face with his hands. Anyway after a while, they became relaxed and that was when the fun began. They would make funny faces, noises and laugh at each other. And since we were at a park, it was hard for them not run around like â€” you know â€” kids. I even ran with them to take some of the shots. Fun times.

John + Niki + Ella

John and Niki has a super cute daughter, Ella. Ella is hyper, always smiles, laughs, and loves shoes. We did a shoot during the Cherry Blossom period in April around their neighborhood. We were out for two hours and Ella wouldn’t stop running and climbing. It was a blast!
