A professional photographer sharing sessions and life in Northern Virginia
I love seeing my clients grow and this gorgeous family is no different. Looking back at their family session last September blows me away. The girls are SO young (and they weren’t too mobile at the time either!). Anna and Margaret have changed even since June when we did their two year session. Thanks again Katie & Joey for letting me crash at your home!
At 5 1/2 weeks, Lucas was an angel for me. It could be that he was up all night and just plain worn out by the time I arrived, but no matter what, we got some awesome photos of this miracle baby (they used Traditional Chinese Medicine (acupuncture/herbs/diet changes) to overcome the infertility from PCOS and it worked!!). His beautiful momma is quite the crafty woman, knitting the hat and cocoon in the following photos. You can see some of her nursery items for sale in her etsy store.
Matt and Jenny, I hope the reflux goes away quickly! I hope you enjoyed your sneak peek!
So precious, I just love that 2nd one. Wonderful work.
Kim – these are fantastic! I LOVE the texture in the 2nd and 3rd shots. Can’t wait to check out his mom’s etsy store.
awwww we love them!
So very sweet. Precious shots, Kim! Love them!
These are so awesome! He is perfect! You guys have a beautiful family.
Awww – i remember the knitting lessons she had with my mom at my house! 🙂
Megs!!! I have wondered about you – yes, I remember that too! I totally forgot how to do it all and then picked up against last summer 🙂 How are you?
Adorable! Love the little cocoon!
Thank you Kim! I love them all! You really captured our family. Amazing job.
I love that first series of shots, so fun! Great captures.
what a beautiful fam!

Beautiful girls, looks like you all had such a great time!
so fun! and so sad I had to miss it!
This past weekend I drove down to the Outer Banks to chill on the beach and hang out with photographers across the country (Shey, Andrea, Amber, Laura, Kerri, Kelly, Kristina, Amy, Jami and Becky). Here are a few photos I took around the house and beach.
We couldn’t have asked for better weather the entire time we were down there. It was in the high 70’s/low 80’s with the sun out the entire time.
There will be at least 3 more posts in regards to this weekend, so come back this week to see them all.
I want to be back right now!
Great shots!!!! It looks fabulous! I’m glad you had a good time!!!
I love these pictures!! The first two should be hung on a wall. I’m ready to go back too.
Such beautiful shots Kim! Just making me even more jealous.
Gorgeous shots, I want to go back too!! Right now!!
I’d frame that shot of the beach chairs!
Beautiful, glad you all had a great time!
Love the sun shot. 😀
Kim LOVE these! Sounds like such a great time!
Last Monday August 31st, Anthony and I went to Six Flags Great Adventure in Jackson, NJ. It was the perfect day to go, beautiful weather, not too busy, and it was Buy One Get One Free w/a Coca Cola can. We were able to ride all the rides (minus the wooden ones which I’m never a fan of) and stood in line no more than 45 minutes for any one ride (even if it said the wait was 120 minutes). We love roller coasters and to know Six Flags is less than 30 minutes away is going to be dangerous next summer!
Superman: Ultimate Flight
The in summer of 2006, the Schmidt family went to Cedar Point in Ohio to ride coasters. There we experienced the first tallest & fastest roller coaster, the Time Speed Dragster. Now here in NJ, they have the world’s fastest & tallest roller coaster, the Kingda Ka. It goes from 0 to 128 mph in 3.5 seconds and you go up 45 stories tall, your life flashing before you. Its the most thrilling experience ever. First photo is the coaster while in line and the second was right after we got off (after fixing my hair of course!)
We will definitely be going back, even if they gauge us on drinks, parking, and other items.
First of all, take me with you next time you go to Six Flags! Lucas isn’t a fan of amusement parks but I am. 🙂 Secondly, oh my gosh, that coaster would be too much for me! I don’t know if I could do it. 🙂 Glad you had fun!
You’re brave!! Coasters scare me. LOL! I went on our “big” one here and lost and earring and my hair tie and decided never again. Haha!! We’re not too far from Cedar Point and my brothers used to go all the time. I’m too much of a wimp!!
You are SO brave! I’ll do roller coasters – but not something like the Kingda Ka. The Texas Cyclone is as dangerous as I get!
I haven’t been on a ride in SO LONG. I need to go! FUN shots!!
Love the Superman ones, very cool!
What pretty little girls, great shots!
Gorgeous family and great captures!
Such little cuties! Anna & Margaret are my top two FAVORITE girls names!
Super cute! Great shots!
