I have a 3 year old (yesterday! Happy birthday, Baby!) and a 2 1/2 month old, so silence is not something I’m familiar with as of late; but, my days are filled with moments of peace. I am exclusively nursing our baby, and those times, no matter where we are or what is going on...
Our challenge this week was shadows. Please excuse the awful iPhone photo – but I was up late last night with my 2 month old, and saw this just sitting there as I was soothing her back to sleep. For anyone wondering, it says: “A daughter is a part of all that’s cherished in the...
I was so excited to photograph a Literacy Party held by our local Macaroni Kid and KinderCare, held at Martial Arts World of Ashburn (Virginia). I haven’t done much – ok, any – real event photography so I was thrilled at the chance. I had both of my own girls in tow and a great...
I was so excited to be able to offer a friend a newborn session for her 12-days-new son as a belated shower gift. I loved how we were able to start with a few posed shots and then enjoy his beautiful eyes. Check out how alert he is! If you enjoy these, I hope you’ll...
Our challenge this week was backlighting – one of my very favorite ways to photograph portraits…and pretty much everything else 🙂 I just love the softness it creates and the opportunities for some unique sun flares.

michelepixels.comI completely understand what you mean about the peacefulness of breastfeeding. My three each nursed for 2.5-4 years. I did take quite a few pictures of us too, but back then I only had a point & shoot. Your pictures are beautifully done.
The Gaggle PhotographyAww it so sweet. I don’t have many of these either but I do love them. Very peaceful.
Megan Graves PhotographyI nursed each of my boys for a year, and I never once got a photo of it… I wish I had. Beautiful moment!
ValerieI tried getting shots with my last…. and they were just too inappropriate. These that you’ve taken are great though! I know how you feel, but like you said, it’ a nice memory and for a good movement.
