Little Dax is 2! (Northern Virginia Child Photographer, Northern Virginia Photographer)

I can't belive my little baby is 2 years old now.  It has been so much fun to watch him grow. 
He was such a character during the pictures, huh what I am I talking about, he is ALWAYS a character!  His pictures took 2 different tries.  The first try it was far too cold.  We tried a couple of pictures but neither one of us could handle the cold wind.  The second try it was a very rainy day.  It was his actual birthday.  He wanted nothing to do with his cute little hat or his sock monkey but he wanted to play and play in the puddles from the rain that day. 
Here they are......

This is what happens when you take your hat off.  Gives a whole new meaning to hat hair.

Oh boy, here are those puddles I was talking about.

ZEKE, love that boy!!! (Northern Virginia Photographer, Northern Virginia Child Photographer)

I just love photography but I love my family even more!  Isn't it wonderful when your two loves collide?  What a thrill and blessing to be a mother.  This is my beautiful son.  What a joy he is in my life.  He is a great big brother, wonderful son, & he is growing into his own self.  I could gush for days about him.

HERE HE IS.......

Look who has met a milestone!  Little Miss Camilla has grown before my eyes.  She does it so stylishly too.

Here is another fun day in Manassas.  I think the Old Town has so much character but maybe not as much as these two little characters and their parents.  :)  It was so cold that morning but you would've never guessed it by the way we were all laughing and singing.  That's right, you heard me, singing.  Me and the two little ones were caroling down one of the streets, I can say I haven't done that one yet, singing Christmas Carols during a photo shoot.  I look forward to doing it again.

Just love this family.  Their kids are a hoot!  I think they keep me laughing more than I keep them laughing. 

We ran into a little snaffoozle though.  We went to go photograph at one of my fave locations and wouldn't you know it, it was closed.  So rude.  :)  Anyway, my dear friend Cris told me about this other place she had been eyeballing and here is what we came up with........





After we took the pictures, I raced home and edited and prepared a disc so Cris could meet a deadline.   I hope she got the order in because wouldn't you know it Comcast internet service went down across the east coast.  I hope that wasn't a snaffoozle for her.  :)

What a great photo shoot!  There are 2 places that I have been eyeballing for quite some time now.  I have just been dying to photograph here.  I have been waiting for the right photo session and BAM! here it is.  Austin you rock!  

I am sure he thought I was weird at times but I love how all the pictures turned out.  Here are juat a few of the super cool photo shoot.

Fun and full of energy!  LOL!  I was fortunate to squeeze this session in before a cheerleading performance.  I got to practice some cheerleading myself.  READY!  OK!

Here are the pictures.
