Check out this little man…isn’t he just gorgeous? I loved his serious personality because it allowed me the chance to capture his amazing and huge soulful eyes. Those eyes just speak to you, don’t they? I knew Timothy’s daddy in high school and it was such fun to catch up. Congratulations, Ryan, on having such a beautiful family. It was touching to see how proud you were of them and how very much you love your wife and son. And why wouldn’t you? They are wonderful!
It never ceases to amaze me how quickly time passes by. I have so enjoyed getting to know Chace and his wonderful parents over this past year. Chace is one of our fabulous Little Gifts Newborn Club babies. Things I love about Chace: his smile, the quiet way he takes in the world, the way he makes me work to get what I want! He is such a cute little guy. I can hardly believe he has gone from this…
To this handsome fellow in just a few short months time. Thanks, Chace, for letting me share your first year. You are one handsome guy! You make me smile!
And this one just melts my heart for some reason. Can’t really pinpoint why…I just know it speaks to my heart! 🙂
I cannot believe this little man is already four years old. I have been photographing his gorgeous self since he was just a few months old. Look at these gorgeous eyes from his Six Month Session. Even then he was stealing my heart!
Now Kade is four years old and such a charmer. He is such a little people pleaser! I love that we have known one another for as long as he can remember. I love that his momma is now someone I am proud to call a friend. Without 1:17 Photography we might not have ever met, and she is such a great lady! We always have such a fun time working together and creating some wonderful pictures. Kade, you have grown up so quickly! I adore you, little guy! Keep on being adorable you! 🙂
Sweet boys! Such busy little creatures but, oh my, how they can steal your heart. I know this from personal experience! Jack Garrett and Thomas are 15 month old twins and cute as they can be. They loved seeing all the new things at the Botanic Gardens last week and we had a great time exploring together. We found ducks and geese, flowers, water, and even a fun old hollowed out tree trunk that was the perfect “container” to keep two little boys from running in opposite directions. Thanks for sharing your boys with me. They are just adorable!
Will already knows how to handle life with two big sisters…just stay calm and relax through it! Little Will was a champ at his Newborn Session last week and let us photograph him over and over! This little “surprise” in the lives of this sweet family is already a clear gift from the Lord. He already brings such joy into their lives. I loved my time spent photographing Will on his own as well as the interactions with his big sisters. Welcome to the world, sweet baby! I bet you will never miss a day without a hug from these beautiful girls in your life!
Sweet sisters. I’ve said before how much I love photographing sisters. Caroline is such a sweet and patient big sister to little Gracie. I am pretty sure I wasn’t ever that sweet to my little sister at that age! 😉 Little Gracie wasn’t feeling so hot that day and Caroline had such patience with her. I love these two and their fantastic parents. They are adorable and I just wanted to eat them up! Such fun! Thanks for sharing your girls with me. They are a gift!
Sweet Emily. Poor baby girl fell asleep in her car right before the session. She’s in the midst of changing nap times and her schedule was a little off. I felt so bad having to wake her up for the shoot; however, she woke up and had such a fabulous session for us! She was calm and laid-back and full of beauty. She didn’t last terribly long before she was tired again, but that didn’t really matter. When you’ve got it, you’ve got it! Here’s just a little taste! Emily, you are adorable!
I love this! You’ll recognize beautiful Nora. She is the lovely little one at the top of my blog header in the white dress with lavender flowers that were taken last spring. It’s hard to believe how much she has grown in a year. Having photographed Miss Nora several times before, I have learned that she isn’t necessarily a huge “smiler” (is that even a word?!). But, I have learned, if we keep at it we can end up with some gorgeous images for her awesome Mom and Dad. If you are a fan of ours on Facebook, then you might’ve seen this story on my page there. Nora’s mom wrote to me, “When we got in the car yesterday after the session, Nora said: ‘Miss Julie has patient with me’.” I love it! But, that isn’t hard to do knowing that I’ll eventually end up with images like this! Thanks, Nora, for letting me play with you and for the big smile you bring to my face! 🙂
Remember these beautiful ladies from the Mini Sessions?
Well, they’ve just become big sisters! Little Adam Stephen was welcomed into the world about a week after this photo was taken. It was such fun to visit their home and have them share with me and show off their new little brother. Sweet Adam Stephen was such a GREAT baby to photograph. That’s why I call him a Rock-star. Just let me play and pose to my heart’s content. Plus, check out this hair! How could he not be a Rock-star with those locks?
He’s just beautiful! Congratulations to Adam, Julie, Isabel and Iris on the new addition to the family!
This last one is the exact same shot. I just simply couldn’t decide color or b/w…so, I shared both! 🙂
I have been photographing this adorable little girl since she was a few days old. Now, Norah Grace is growing up so quick into such a fun and outgoing little thing. We had such a great time last week running around the Arlington Town Square and it was a joy to capture her personality in these 2 year old portraits. She even stayed happy through a few outfit changes which made it even more fun. Mom always dresses Norah Grace so cute. Thinking I need to hire her Mom and Grandma to shop for me. 🙂
Check out Miss Personality! Loving these! So fun…
Near the end, the poor baby was getting tired. But, I am adoring these shots of her and mom just loving on each other!
