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. Side note: I’ve been avoiding shooting my Canon 50mm f/1.4 wide open but have recently fallen back in love...

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.
