Happiness is having beautiful sisters for your last session before maternity leave. Mom had booked this session probably over a year ago, before I found out I was pregnant. Being that it was booked so far in advance, we had to reschedule due to my due date, then we had to reschedule due to weather. Today I woke up with my fingers crossed that we’d have a beautiful morning and was not disappointed.
We went to a few different locations in Arlington that I had never been to before which normally would scare me but Mom had scoped both of them out in advance AND sent me photos of each location. Have I said how much I love my clients??
I was so excited to see how much the girls had grown since our last session a year and a half ago! They were so well behaved last year and were even better this year, I swear these girls are just a joy to photograph. I got a LOT of awesome shots but here are a few of my favorites…
Miss E is almost 3 years old and the sweetest thing ever.

And big sis N is now 5 and has the most amazing golden hair!

Mom REALLY wanted to get the perfect family shot for Christmas cards and we definitely got it but I’m not going to share it in case she wants to keep it a secret until the holidays. While this is not your traditional family portrait, I adore it even more knowing that Mom & Dad are celebrating their 10 year Wedding Anniversary soon.

I adore the deep purple sweater with purples, yellows & greens in the background here.

There is nothing better than finishing up your session with a big lollipop, especially when attention spans are fading.

Today’s weather was amazing, we started off the morning with some cooler fall weather in which we took the more fall-like photos and then as the sun came out more it really warmed up nicely which was perfect timing to change into the girls favorite dresses.
I adore this shot, makes me all happy inside.

N family, it was awesome seeing you all again! Thanks for making my last session so fun.
