Oh my goodness this little man is sure a charmer!  He is just so happy, sweet, adorable and I just cant get over his amazing eyes!  He can say a lot with those sweet little things.  Just look at them.....



Getting Ready for Holiday Cards (Northern Virginia Family Photographer, Northern Virginia Photographer)

It is that time of year where everyone is getting ready for the holidays.  Whew!  And I have been busy!  I love it! 

Here are one of the pictures from a recent family photo session.  I think it turned out so nice. 



It's Always a Good Time! (Northern Virginia Family Photographer, Northern Virginia Children Photographer, Warrenton Family Photographer, Leilani Mitchell Photography)

It always a good time when I see this family.  I almost feel like their my family now.  I have photographed their first child, their second child, and all of their family pictures too. 

I just love it! 

Here is what we got this year. 

 



Taco Bell and Senior Pictures????(Freedom High School Senior Photographer, Northern Virginia High School Photographer, Northern Virginia High School Photographer)

You wonder about the title of the posting what could High School Senior Pictures and Taco Bell have in common?  You see, my lovely high school senior didn't get a chance to eat breakfast that morning and by the time we met up that afternoon she was getting hungry!  Throughout the session in-between my direction for the pictures there was talk of only Taco Bell.  Fortunately, after our fun photo session, my young friend here got that delicious Taco Bell.  I had such a great time but now whenever I see these images or think of the photo session, I want Taco Bell!  Now every time I think of this session I have a hankering for Taco Bell. 

 



On The Beach (Northern Virginia Child Photographer, Northern Virginia Photographer, Leilani Mitchell, Leilani Photography)

Not very often do I get to take beach pictures and it's only because the beach is a little drive for us and we don't go as often as I like. 

Well, I had a wonderful opportunity to take some beach pictures of my little buddy here.  He was such a ham!  He kept me on my toes for sure. 



My Cousin's Wedding (Idaho Wedding Photographer, Utah Wedding Photographer, Northern Virginia Wedding Photographer, Leilani Photography, Leilani Mitchell Photography)

I got the opportunity to visit my parents in my home state Idaho.  I was there to help my mom out and it just so happened that my visit was the same time period as my cousin's (well actually my cousin's son's) wedding.  I was so delighted that I was able to take their pictures.  I love photography and I love my family, so I am so happy that I got to intertwine both of them. 

 



A Growing Family (Northern Virginia Family Photographer, Northern Virginia Photographer, Northern Virginia Baby Photographer, Northern Virginia Child Photographer, Winery at LaGrange)

A couple of years ago I photographed this family.  The pictures turned out great!

So, when their family grew just a little more, it was time for some more great pictures. 

Just check out these pictures. 



Beautiful Wedding at the Winery at LaGrange (Northern VA wedding photographer, Northern Virginia Photographer, LaGrange Winery,

I had such a wonderful experience photographing this couple.  They are just so great!  They were so cute together, it made photographing them so easy.  I had a great time because we share the same sense of humor. 

The location is one of my favorite places to photograph!  I have photographed many family, children, and even a High School senior session there.  The staff at the Winery at LaGrange is always so fantastic to work with.  The location has so many options also. 

I hope you enjoy the pictures as much as I do....

  

No Horsing Around (Northern Virginia Family Photographer, Northern Virginia Photographer, Northern Virginia Child Photographer, Leilani Mitchell Photographer)

When I met this family I got super excited when we were discussing their family pictures because they didn't want to horse around but they did want their horse in the pictures.  (Hee hee, do you get my play on words?)  I loved the idea!  I loved the location as well! 

Not only did we get some great pictures of the family with the horse but we did actually have some fun horsing around. 

 



The Next Milestone (6 Month Baby Pictures, Northern Virginia Baby Photographer, Northern Virginia Family Photographer, Northern Virginia Photographer)

With a blink of an eye they grow!  They meet their next milestone before you can even take in the first milestone.  It is sure fun to watch them grow though.  I do love that I can capture their growth with images that will be cherished for generations. 

This little guy is so genuinely happy and I know exactly where he got it from.  His parents are so happy too.  It is always fun to be with them. 

Here is the latest in this little charmers growth. 



Made Me Smile (Northern Virginia Newborn Photographer, Northern Virginia Baby Photographer, Northern Virginia Photographer, Newborn Pictures)

I couldn't help myself.  I was smiling the entire photo session.  He was all smiles even when he was sleeping.  I have never photographed a happier newborn.  Oh my goodness he was just divine!  He was just a precious baby.  I was so sad to see him leave.  Luckily, I will get to see this cutie pie again.  I fortunately know the parents.  :)

Here are the pictures from the session.
