super cute

my niece, delaney, is almost 10 months old and she started walking last week (i know, right?). when her mom asked if i’d take some photos of her, i wasn’t sure i’d be able to keep up with her. turns out if you sit her down in a bunch of grass she will sit quietly and try to pick it. who knew? turned out to be one of the easiest sessions i’ve had in quite a while. i guess it helps that she is totally adorable:

i have to admit i was a little apprehensive about this session; glen and melissa live in my neighborhood but i don’t really know them. we have mutual friends and that friend gave them one of my gift certificates as a baby shower present (didn’t know i have gift certificates? email us to get one in any amount for any occasion). i showed up at the session not sure what to expect and frankly, i was totally surprised. they were warm and funny and open and we had a great time during the session. glen told me the story behind how they met (not for me to tell, but hoo boy do i wish i could) and melissa wasn’t shy about nursing in front of me. i’m not sure what i was expecting but given that they are both really attractive people i figured i’d feel like a dorky shlub next to them. not at all the case. i mean, i’m still a dorky shlub but they welcomed me warmly.

so here is their beautiful baby girl, brooke. i kid you not that she didn’t make a peep until the very end of the session when she started getting hungry. i would have had five more kids if i could have figured out how to get one like that!

scott, micah and eli :: virginia photo session

this session was great fun for me because i already knew scott and micah: scott is my husband’s business partner. they had their baby boy, eli, back in july. eli is doing fantastic now, but his arrival was nothing short of scary. a couple of weeks before his due date, the surrogate carrying him was involved in a major car accident and they delivered eli that night. he spent a couple of weeks in the nicu at children’s hospital in DC (which is a fantastic hospital, btw) and is now safe at home and being doted on by his dads:
