Archive for 'The Whole Hive'

First birthdays are always special occasions.  I obviously know this because I just went through it…

I was so excited to hear from this sweet family when they contacted me about first year photos for their daughter Maya. Their love of photos was apparent and made me super excited to work with them.  They knew that their extended family would be in the city and wanted some casual family portraits around the tidal basin.

So many people and a tiny little one always makes for an interesting session, but I loved the classic DC setting and everyone joined in together to make it super fun.  This family is no stranger to DC.  Many of you will recognize the wonderfully talented Amber Karson of Amber Karson Events.

I am super excited to do Maya’s official one year session this weekend and see this wonderful family again.

Happy weekend everyone!!

This is one happy family.
A large part of that is because the dad is involved, responsible and committed. These are the three things National Fatherhood Initiative believes every child deserves from their father. When I am not photographing fun families like these, I am working to help the 24 million children in the US who are growing up without a dad like this. This dad is actually my boss:) If you don’t know about the National Fatherhood Initiative then you must check it out. It will help you to be a better dad, your husband to be a better dad and make a difference in the lives of the children growing up without a father in their lives.
Thanks for such a fun session DiCaro Family:)










Ashley, like my previous post, was another one of my QueenBees. This was baby number two for her so needless to say, she was a pro! In June, her family welcomed little Jackson!! At 8lbs 13oz, Jackson wasn’t so little, but definitely sweet. Ashley wanted both newborn shots and a whole hive family session. We headed to a local part and enjoyed the day. Thank you for sharing your family with me Ashley!











Kristen was one of my QueenBees. She was so great for her QueenBee session that I shouldn’t have been surprised that she would be amazing for little Tyler’s ItsyBee session. At two weeks old, Tyler was beginning to get out of the sleepy baby phase and didn’t want to sit still for his pictures. Both Kristen, and her husband were so patient waiting for the perfect shot. It was quite an entertaining morning. I loved both the way Tyler’s ItsyBee photos came out as well as the Whole Hive photos of the family.

Kristen, thanks for sharing your beautiful family!
