And just like that…

he’s a big boy.

We took the front rail off of his crib tonight and turned it into a toddler bed. It’s been a long time coming I guess, here we are two weeks from Carter’s 2nd Birthday and he has fully figured out how to climb out of the crib. We decided that instead of worrying about him injuring himself we’d torture ourselves and turn his bed into a big boy bed. Right now he’s up there standing at his door crying but I’m hoping he’ll eventually warm up to the idea. It will probably take a few trips soothing him and laying in the bed with him until he’s comfortable with it. We’ll see!

Here are a few photos from this weekend at the splash pad at Lansdowne Town Center. My little dude LOVES the water!

His Mimi cut his bangs a little crooked but he looks cute regardless.

After all that fun we both needed a little Starbucks. ;-)

I’m going to attempt to do a 2 year photo session with him this weekend, I will share them here of course.

Someone pass the tissues, he’s SO not a baby anymore. :(

Delightful | Northern Virginia Baby Photographer

Today I met this 13 month old beauty out at her awesome Grandparent’s house. We had a beautiful late afternoon session and little Miss C was just a little ham for the camera. We pushed her mood towards the end but the last shot we got ended up being one of my favorites from the whole day.

Here are a few favs!

Mr. Eyelashes | Maryland Child Photographer

Today I met D who is 2 and has the most amazing dark brown eyes and maybe the longest eye lashes I’ve ever seen. He was just like my 2 year old little boy, all over the place! We had fun though running around, playing football and him impressing me with all of his animal noises. I think I also impressed him with the fact that both Mickey Mouse and Spiderman live IN MY camera. Amazing, huh?

Here are a few favorites, my tiger Pez dispenser was an instant favorite of his.

Happy First Birthday!!! | Maryland First Year Photographer

One of my favorite clients turned one recently! I have had SO much fun capturing his first year, I feel so honored to be a part of all of the big milestones throughout the first year.

Today we had our One Year Session and I could not believe how fast this little guy is. Not only is he walking but also RUNNING! He kept me on my toes but that sweet little smile and those gorgeous blue eyes made it all worth it.

Some favorites!

Day 7 | Northern Virginia Newborn Photographer

Another one of my favorite maternity clients gave birth! Remember her? She gave birth to the most adorable baby girl a week ago. Oh how sweet little Miss S was for me today she was the perfect model which I’m convinced she gets from her Mom. ;-)

Here are some favorites!

This might be one of my favorite newborn/daddy images of all time. If they don’t order it on canvas, I am. ;-)
