The Toombs Family!

November 2, 2010

I love this family!! They are so funny and their love and affection for one another is obvious to anyone who spends more than a few minutes with them! I met up with the Toombs family last week for some portraits at Arlington Town Square and we had a great time just hanging out and laughing together! The main purpose behind this session was a group shot of everyone so we spent the majority of our time on that! Take a look…aren’t they just awesome? πŸ™‚

And, look how sweet! This man loves his wife…no doubt about it! πŸ™‚

There was one other purpose to our session. My sweet friend, Katie, is an AMAZING artist and she needed some new head-shots for her business. Of course, I was happy to help! TakeΒ a look how beautiful she is…

Also, on occasion my customers and I arrange a trade of services. This was such an occasion and I have to share with you my “payment” for this session. I commissioned Katie to do a piece for me for my hearth room over my sofa. Katie delivered my painting yesterday and I am in LOVE!! It is so beautiful and my photograph doesn’t do it justice! If you would love some beautiful artwork for your home, I encourage to contact Katie and have her create something for you! She is amazingly talented, but more than that she’s just an amazing person! Take a look at her work, www.katietoombs.com! You’ll love what you see! Here’s my painting…Haven! πŸ™‚

Welcome, Colleen!

Remember this beautiful maternity session? Well, the expectation has ended and Miss Colleen has finally arrived home! She wins the prize, I do believe, as the newborn that has smiled at me the most during her session. It was really quite humorous how each time I spoke to her she just smiled away as if she knew exactly the purpose for which I was there! It was a beautiful and quite warm fall day, so we took advantage of it and took some portraits inside as well as out! Colleen was a little star and was such a good girl for her session and let us play with all sorts of hats, outfits, and poses….such a girl…already enjoying dress-up! πŸ™‚ Michelle and Darren, I am so happy for you both. Colleen is a blessed little girl to have you in her life! Congratulations!

Happy 1st Birthday, Emily!

If you love babies and those beyond-cute baby smiles, then look no further! Emily and I met up last week the day after her very first birthday for some portraits to mark the occasion! Mom and I both were a bit worried that nap-time might interfere with the session; but, we shouldn’t have worried. Emily was a little angel and smiled, laughed, and giggled her way through it! I adore her wide-mouthed grin…isn’t it the best?! Love it! Emily, you are a beautiful and precious little girl. Happy first birthday, little one! πŸ™‚

Adam and Meredith…

November 2, 2010

Last week was the “perfect” fall week for outdoor photographs. The weather was fantastic and the landscapes are finally starting to look like fall. Colorful leaves abound and, yet, there are still some pretty flowers in bloom in certain places like the Botanic Gardens. Add in a couple of adorable siblings and you’ve got the perfect combination. Adam is four and is all boy! He loved making jokes and saying silly things just to get me to laugh. His smile is awesome! And, sweet Meredith, the typical cutie-pie little sister. A little bit shy and alot of beauty. Loved working with them and their great mom! It makes a session so much more enjoyable for everyone when the parents come into the session relaxed and just try to enjoy the process! Thanks so much Leslie, Adam, and Meredith for a fun session. Hope you love your sneak peek! Enjoy! πŸ™‚
