Lerin Bridals {Photography by Danelle Empey}

Another fun bridal at Meadowlark Botanical Gardens.  This time I could go anywhere on the grounds (last time we were confined to a specific space because there was another wedding.)  So we discovered a lot of fun things places.  Lerin was a good sport and went along with all the crazy places I made us go.

I look forward to photographing her wedding this Saturday.

Baby Dominic {Photographs by Danelle Empey}

This was a fun session, not only was this little boy super sweet (as was his older sister, Stella) but their home was amazing!  I love it when I find a unique spot to photograph.  Something unique to just the family to show a bit of their style.  It's part of why I love being an on-location photographer - you never know what you will find!

Here is a preview of our session.

Baird Baby - Naomi {Photographs by Danelle Empey}

First I want to say thank you to all my clients.  Thank you for letting me come into your homes and rearrange furniture, dig through blankets and fabric, and invade random spaces all in an effort to capture a tiny moment in your lives.  I love it and really appreciate all the trust that is placed on me.

With that said, this is Naomi.  She is such a sweetie.  And we did rearrange the home to try to get some pictures of her!  She was very serious during the session but that didn't stop us from capturing her beautiful blue eyes.

Here are a few of my favorites.

Jordan and Quinn - Sussman Family {Photographs by Danelle Empey}

These little girls are so beautiful.  I think they have a classic, timeless beauty.  Jordan's eyes are stunning and Quinn has the most perfect lips of any baby!  They were a fun family to photograph.  And they were good sports in the humidity!  We were all dripping wet by the end...gotta love Virginia in August.

 

Sorenson Girls

I got to photograph these two cute little girls the other day.  Sisters are something special and it was fun to see big sister helping out so much.  Baby wasn't so sure about it all, but she put up with it enough to get a few images!

Here is a preview.

Cutler Family - in Delaware {Photographs by Danelle Empey}

The Cutler Family has been one of my favorite families to photograph for a long time.  So when they moved to Delaware I was a bit sad, but that didn't stop them from coming back now and then to DC to get family pictures.  But when baby boy number two came along, they asked if I could come to them...I said "YES!" 

We had a great session and it was great to see their family again.  And I took advantage of being so close to the beach with my own family and had a lot of fun in the sand!

Here is a preview of the Cutler Family and their newest addition.

Alex Turns One - Old Town, VA {Photographs by Danelle Empey}

Baby Alex is about to turn one.  I photographed her last year when she was brand new.  She has gotten so big and active.  It was pretty hard to keep up with this one, but we managed to capture some beautiful moments...and a lot of pictures with her tongue out.  Alex really likes to stick her tongue out!  (In fact, you can see a preview of that from her baby pictures when she was just a few weeks old.) What a cutie.
