I am the mother of a lovely little girly girl but I'll tell you what, I have a special place in my heart for the sons in this world.
This evening I got to spend time with a very old friend and meet her two handsome little men, Rhys and Luca. We met up at a wonderfully delightful rose garden park tucked in amongst the neighborhoods of Arlington, Virginia. It's fair to say that after this session I am even more delighted by the joy of sons and brotherly love.

Chris + Brandy :: Northern Virginia Maternity Photography
Perhaps it's not fair for me to say this but I'm one of those types who is never afraid to "shake things up" a little so I'm just gonna - I wanna take pictures of Chris and Brandy ALL. THE. TIME! I'm absolutely serious.
I met Chris and Brandy by way of electronic networking. I put some feelers out looking for a photographer to take pictures of me with my daughter - a sort of "mommy & me" session - and Chris and Brandy of Gronde Photography reached out to me to help make it happen. As it so happened they were looking for a photographer as well because they are (as you will see) expecting their first little blessing and joy.
I just love Chris and Brandy for so many reasons. For one? They are photographers/visual artists like me! They "speak" the language I most love to speak. They also are the type of people who are absolutely what and who they say they are without reservations and they love each other unabashedly. I wish I had actually met them sooner than just weeks ago because I would have loved to have been able to have a stab at their engagement and/or wedding photography! I mean just look at the images below. Their adoration for each other is so visceral and palpable and it only makes photographing them that much more incredible for me as an photographic artist.
But enough of my blathering on, right? Here's just a smattering of the portraits we collaborated and turned out together during one of the most beautiful golden hour sessions EVER...
Thank you, Chris and Brandy, for giving me the honor to capture you at this incredibly momentous time of your life together. You have my number for when the baby arrives and you need someone else to hold the camera (again) since I'm sure you will have your hands plenty full with your sweet bundle of love.

Baby N :: DC Baby Portrait Photographer
There is little that brings me greater joy than doing baby portraits. I love marveling (through my camera viewfinder) at how big their eyes get with curiosity. Their squeals and squeaks of finding their voices is one of the most pleasant soundtracks to work to and you just can't beat the sweet smell that all babies seem to have.
Little Miss N is the daughter of a childhood best friend of mine who I have known for over 20 years now. Her mama came in town to go to a college reunion. As it turns out, sweet baby N had portraits done a week after she was born but they've still not been delivered. Well, to me, that kind of thing is completely unacceptable and since this IS my best friend in the whole wide world, I just had to take care of the issue in my own way.
So here are the fruits of the hard work done by both myself and gorgeous baby N. I know I've got some decent skills, but seriously? N is such a precious beauty, I know that she's the one making ME look good.
Oh, sweet little baby N! Come back and visit me any ol' time you like. Can't wait for our next visit together.

The Reams :: Richmond family portrait photographer
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!!
I am celebrating the day by giving thanks for the beautiful family I have been so blessed to be a part of. Want proof of just how beautiful they are? See below...

My eldest niece
My middle niece (and goddaughter)
My youngest niece
The whole gang of nieces together
My older brother, sis-in-law, and their gang (of my nieces)
I love taking pictures of my family but I don't get to do it often enough because they live so far away from me in Maryland. The beauty part is there are major holidays throughout the year that draw us together so that we have great excuses to spend time with one another. Who needs an excuse to see your family? Sadly... I do because I'm such a workaholic like that. *shamed* I'm grateful for them loving me despite my own ridiculous nature to work even during the holidays - like how I finagled to do now on Thanksgiving! Well, at least they got some gorgeous portraits out of it, right? There's always something to be thankful for. *wink*
