two babies | peek

Today, I FINALLY got to meet Ada and Preston!   I have been anticipating their arrival for a LONG time now… they are babies #5 and #6 in their family… and Preston is the FIRST boy!   He is going to be the BEST boyfriend ever when he grows up!

 

They are also my VERY first twin newborns…. and they were amazing!   Here’s a little peek into their session!  Ada got all the hair!!! 

Baby noggins + our custom newborn blankets = awesome!

As I was getting everything packed up and Preston was having a little snack, Ada enjoyed a little sister time with Mae and Gwynn.  I told Mel that these were pretty much snapshots… but then I took this… and, while I really did nothing to my settings, etc… I REALLY don’t care… because LOOK!

More to come!

Mary Hudson - They are just beautiful! Would love to be able to hold them and give them some sugar.
Preston is out-numbered but he will love that.May 17, 2012 – 1:49 pm

double the weddings

WOW!

 

What a weekend!

 

In the best way possible (besides the fact that I had the flu… but I pushed though.. I’m hard core!   HAHAHAHA)!

 

This weekend, Joanna and Pat got married!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   Their wedding was full of amazing detail, set in a barn in the foothills of the mountains… it was gorgeous.  And, most importantly, they SO love each other!  (I saw a similar image and I WISH I could remember who it was so I could give them credit…. but THANK YOU for inspiring this shot!)

 

On Sunday, I headed to Richmond to shoot Trish and Eytan’s wedding.  I pretty much teared up the entire day.  The love they share, their families, their traditions… the way they look at each other… there are NO words to describe it!

 

Stay tuned for more!

Friday Randomness

Welcome back, Me!:)

You know how when there are big projects to get done, it’s so much easier to do the smaller ones first.  Then, the smaller ones end up taking over, and the kids get the flu… and you end up not getting the big one done and then it weighs on your shoulders… and … and … and…

I have NO IDEA how that feels.

HAHAHAHAHA!  Totally kidding, clearly!

Today, I am feeling like there is a big weight off my shoulders because, for the MOST part, my “new” blog is done!  WAHOO!  I’d LOVE to hear your thoughts…. The newly redesigned comment section is just waiting patiently to be used:)

I’m also feeling flu-ish!:)

OTHER exiting things?

1.   I FINALLY used my new camera!  I was actually SUPER nervous about it.  It seemed like the changes were pretty big.  And I so love my regular camera (Canon 5D Mark II) I kinda didn’t want to replace it!  And, to be honest, I’m not SURE it will.  But I feel VERY lucky and happy that I have TWO great cameras… so if something happens to one, I will be OK!:)

Brady was my very cooperative volunteer to practice. HOW cute is he?

2.  This weekend I am shooting TWO weddings!  I have TWO weddings booked for 2012 and they are BOTH this weekend.  It should be SO fun and SO exhausting.  Weddings are so fun and special… and because of my kiddos I only do a few each year!  So they are EXTRA special.

3.  The kids ran the Great Train Race and Caboose Run in Fredericksburg last weekend.  We were SO happy they were all able as the girls battled the flu BEFORE… and the boys came down with it after!  I ran with the girls … and my camera!:)  I can’t wait to showcase this event on here.  Oh my gosh, I LOVE it. 

4.  I have a zillion cuties to post on the blog coming up!  So many babies too… which leads to me…

BABY MILESTONE PLAN IS BACK!

I used to do one back in the day, but moved away from it over time.  I can’t even remember why!  But I love being able to watch the newborns grow up through my lens.  Get to know them!  And, at the end of the year, give them an incredible album!

5.  ONE more thing… There is a fantastic offer out there for you!   If you and a friend book your session at the same time, you only pay ONE session fee!  The COOL part is, you EACH get your own full session on your own specific date.  So find a friend and get your summer/fall sessions scheduled!  You can book yours for ANYTIME in 2012!

Alrighty, that’s enough randomness right now!  THANK YOU for checking out the new blog!  You can even subscribe to get emails when I update the blog… which is a good thing.  Because summer is coming up, and I’ll be posting some fun activities to do with your kiddos EACH WEEK!

shaili and levin | peek | occoquan va

Wow.. busy busy few days!

Here’s a peek into my little session tonight!  My niece and nephew recently celebrated their birthdays… Shaili is 3 and Levin turned 1!  After a day of just relaxing together, we walked through Occoquan to do their birthday portraits!  Here’s a little glimpse!

Of COURSE, since my kids were there, they WANTED to be in a picture too!  Funny!  And so, I can’t NOT post one!:)  My boys… totally spontaneous.  Made me SO glad to have my camera all set and ready when this happened!

Sibling love!  Nothing better!
