Nelson’s Getting a New Brother

The last maternity / pet session I photographed was WAAAY less cute than this adorable family of three.  Three being mom, dad, and dog… for now at least.  Unlike the last “pet maternity session” there were no hairless rats to be found last night!  (That doesn’t mean there aren’t any… it’s Rome after all…  it […]

Four Gorgeous Girls!

Tonight Sarah bought her daughter, K., and 2 huskies.  With a family this attractive, how can one NOT take a good portrait?  Anyway, just in love with this group.  The whole family (including K’s grandma and auntie!) came to watch the session – so it was just us girls!  (Yes, I’m referring to Calypso and […]

Newborn session with Susan

So, the other day I got to help out a fellow photographer buddy.  Susan of Susan Braswell Photography (www.susanbraswellphotography.com) was in a lurch for a newborn session and posted on Facebook that she needed a photographer in Alexandria right away.  We actually never met in person (or “fer realzies” as I call it) but we’ve […]

Happy Father’s Day!

In honor of Father’s Day, and since I forget to post stuff when I actually TAKE the photograph (in this case… May of 2008) I figured I’d post one here of MY parents.  Better late than never, hunh? And then of course there’s THIS little guy, Baby C. – born to a friend of Dave’s.  […]

Photographing a Food Chain…

Note to self:  Do not let bird out of cage with dogs in same room again.  Results not good… Tonight’s session was quite the crowd!  Mom, Dad, 2 kids, 2 giant schnauzers, a poodle, and a very terrified parrot.  I love working with showdogs and “dog people” though.  As far as pet sessions go – […]

Mary & her Boykin Spaniels

Ok, so I’m just getting to post this now…  This is Mary and her three gorgeous (and oh-so-sweet!) Boykin Spaniels:  Buster, Moe, and Gilbert.  What’s so cute is they all have very distinct personalities even though they look so similar.  I was afraid I wouldn’t be able to tell the three dogs apart when I […]

Kirsten & Abbie

These are just a few from tonight’s session with Kirsten & her blue-merle sheltie Abbie.  First, I have to say I was so relieved to see another sheltie as tiny as Hailey.  Our neighbors have possibly the world’s biggest shetland sheepdog, and I was starting to worry ours might be abnormally small.  Oh, and the […]
