Baby Benjamin

This past weekend I met a very cute 9 week old little boy.

When I arrived for the photo shoot, the baby was eager to take his morning nap.

After a few shots of sleeping peacefully, mommy woke him up for some more expressive photos.

I was even lucky enough to see a little smile as mommy and daddy showered him with baby talk and belly rubs; however, his mood changed suddenly once he was zipped up in his teddy bear suit.

Ah the life of a baby.

Here's a video I created for the proud parents.

Jennifer & Matt - It's Outside and all Shine!

Jenn and Matt had an amazing outdoor wedding. It had been a torrential downpour all day until 3pm. The rains just stopped, the sky remained moody and the sunshine was peaking through the clouds. They decided to move the wedding outside, and it was by far the best decision of the day. It was a magical setting and the sun was dropping behind them as they tied the knot. The Shenandoah Museum was absolutely gorgeous, there were so many fantastic nooks to take photos, I was overwhelmed with options...and I loved it.

Their reception took place at the Piccadilly Brew Pub in old town Winchester. I was having such a great time with this couple and their guests I stayed way later than planned. I even had a chance to put down the camera for a couple songs and dance. For those of you who don't know, I take every opportunity to dance.

Thank you Jenn and Matt! I hope you have fun on your honeymoon in Switzerland!

Natalie & Carlos - The Outdoor Indoor Ceremony!

Natalie and Carlos tied the knot at the Kentlands Mansion. The weather was toying with all of us, it would drizzle for a few, then clear up and the sun would shine. The couple proceeded to have an outdoor ceremony in the garden. Midway into the ceremony the storm broke; Natalie and Carlos quickly rushed inside and the guests all followed suit. Everyone fell into their places without missing a beat and ceremony continued like nothing had happened. So they had an outdoor/indoor ceremony, the best of both worlds! It stormed relentlessly the rest of day and into the night.

Alejo knew this couple could weather any storm after their August engagement session.
