Today I got to see a little guy that I met when he was 11 days old! What a difference 6 months makes! He still looked like his adorable self that I met here . He's still adorable, and pretty easy to smile!

My second session today was with this little cutie! I got to take baby A's picture when he was just under 3 months old! Those are HERE. It was so much fun to get to see how much that little man has changed in the past few months! He looked the same, but so different as well!

It was great seeing you guys again today P family and I hope you enjoy your preview!

and if I'm picking favorites of baby A from today, it's this one...of him standing! He just looked SO proud of himself for it, and I love the big smile!

Today it finally felt like Spring, and I had the chance to photograph two precious little boys. F was the first boy and he was too cute! It was a little chilly today, but he did a great job!

S family, it was great to meet you today and I hope you love your preview!

If I have to pick a favorite from today, it's definitely the last one! Love that little smile!

T Family...almost Christmas....

2010-12-08T22:59:00.000-05:00

Earlier this week I had a session scheduled at a cute family's house, and we were going to try to do some outside pictures...enter 30 degree weather and crazy wind..and we quickly scrapped that plan and moved everything inside! Lucky for me, the kids were adorable and NOT freezing!

I hope you guys enjoy your preview! Little Miss L was just a character!

Happy Thanksgiving Session...

2010-11-25T22:54:00.000-05:00

I happened to be in TN for Thanksgiving, and a family friend I've known since Kindergarten had emailed a while back and asked if I'd be in town, and if I could take pictures of their family...so...after a lot of checking weather.com and hoping for the best, we got it!!!

I hope you enjoy your preview C family, and your Thanksgiving Dinner!

M Family....

2010-11-14T14:27:00.000-05:00

I got the chance to meet this adorable family this morning for their family session! Mrs. M found me through a previous client, who had a CUTE 1 year old that I photographed at the farm! Love those referrals, and thanks for that Mrs. C!

Anyway...I had a great time photographing your cute family this morning and I hope you love your pictures!

My Best Friends Kids....

2010-11-01T20:47:00.000-04:00

before I get into trouble for saying that..I'll say my VA best friends kids! This little girl, and all her cuteness, was born the day before my oldest boy was born..they are about 6 hours apart, and her Mama and I have been friends since shortly before we both found out we were pregnant...so needless to say...my boy, and her girl have known each other since before birth! I was more than thrilled to be able to take some pictures of Miss R and her precious little brother C! Hope you love your pics V family!

Smiley baby boy...

2010-10-30T22:02:00.000-04:00

I had a wonderful morning meeting this little cutie and his parents today. He was so smiley and content! I was super impressed with how well he held his head up! He's only 2 months old! Hope you enjoy your preview P family! It was great to meet you today!

Love that smile...

2010-10-24T19:54:00.000-04:00

I did a quick shoot for a neighbor friend tonight..and their 9 year old girl is a total cutie!

Eleven Days...

2010-10-09T20:27:00.001-04:00

Is all that this little cutie has been in the world...and he is PERFECT! This little guy LOVED his paci, but luckily, between his parents and myself, we were able to get some paci free shots...there's quite a hidden technique to yanking a pacifier out of the mouth of a snoozing, sucking baby! Who knew!

T family it was great to meet you today, and your new baby is a delight! He hardly made a peep!

sweet baby boy..

2010-09-19T22:28:00.000-04:00

I had the opportunity to meet this little guy and his family today..and he was so sweet! He was content, and made cute faces, but I don't think I actually heard him cry the entire time I was there!

Congratulations D Family, your new addition is beautiful!

Cuteness

2010-09-13T15:25:00.000-04:00

This little guy is in my little guys preschool class, and from the moment I met him and his blue eyed sister, I knew I'd LOVE to photograph them! Well guess what...today I did..and they did great!

Boys...

2010-09-12T15:44:00.000-04:00

Ok, I'll admit..these are my boys..so of course I think they're perfectly cute, even when some of them are trying to run away from the photographer to the sanbox in the background!

making his big break for it....

1,2,3...big smiles!

2010-09-07T15:56:00.001-04:00

Oh if only they were all this easy...I got to my friends house to do some pics of her cute little girl, and their family, and she said.."show Miss Lindsley what we've been practicing....1, 2, 3..big smiles" and there it was...the biggest, cutest smile! If only I could train my boys on that!

Here are Miss C's big smiles!

Look at her trying to flirt up my youngest on that bench! Future prom dates???

Perfection...

2010-08-21T22:33:00.001-04:00

This little baby was beautiful...and she slept! I love when I can get a few pictures of babies with their eyes open, and a few of them asleep..best of both worlds! It was great meeting your new addition W family! And Mr. B seems like a great big brother already!

It was great seeing you today K and your kids are BEAUTIFUL! Those eyes! I hope you love your pictures!

Sweet Baby Girl

2010-07-28T20:59:00.001-04:00

Maternity Shoot-Leesburg, Sterling Photographer

2010-07-10T21:56:00.001-04:00

I've had this shoot set up with this cute mama for quite some time..but it almost didn't happen because last night she called to tell me she thought she was in LABOR! Luckly, for me, the baby decided to wait her big debut at least a few more hours...and we were able to get the shoot done this morning...contractions and everything! Their precious son is a few months older than my oldest...and was a real ham! Loved getting to meet you guys today!

Here is your preview...and I can't wait to meet your sweet baby girl very soon!

Sweet sweet 1 month old

Maternity Photos

2010-06-27T21:40:00.001-04:00

I did these photos for a friend one day last week...they are actually due next week...so we had to hurry up and get the shoot in before this baby comes! They aren't finding out the sex...which I just can't imagine me being able to do myself, but think it's super cool when other people can do it! Can't wait to see what you have!

Birthday Girl and her Big Sister!

2010-06-27T20:20:00.001-04:00

These 2 little peanuts are a friend of a friend's daughters. They are the same ages as each of my boys and we had a lot of fun doing their shoot!

Birthday at the Farm...

2010-06-25T21:36:00.001-04:00

Cute Maternity Shoot

2010-06-07T08:49:00.001-04:00

This was the 2nd maternity session I did over the weekend, for a friend who is also a photographer. Her little girl is so cute, and a little shy, so there was a lot of tickling going on to get this little one to smile! They too, will be having a baby girl in a few short weeks!

2010-06-01T22:52:00.001-04:00

I don't often just post about my kids, but this one was such a cute capture, I just couldn't resist. We took my oldest son, who is almost 2 1/2, fishing at a local catch and release pond over the weekend and it was too cute!

Sweet Toddler Girl..

2010-05-24T14:30:00.000-04:00

After getting to shoot not 1, but 2 really cute little girls this weekend, I definitely have dresses on the brain! I shot this little girl last October, and this was her 1 year shoot, a few months late! She's just as cute as she was the first time I met her!

Happy 1 year old!

2010-05-23T22:25:00.000-04:00

I shot this little cutie over the weekend...and kept reminding her parents that I have 2 sons that will make perfect prom dates in a few years!

3 boys!

2010-05-17T14:18:00.001-04:00

These 3 kiddos were too cute and fun!

Maternity Photo shoot

2010-03-19T17:42:00.000-04:00

I took these pictures today for a very cute pregnant friend...I only wish I looked this good when I was just a few short weeks away from giving birth!

Spring has Sprung!!!!

2010-03-12T12:11:00.001-05:00

Here are a few more Spring pictures from my shoots this past week!

Charity Photo Shoot--

2010-03-07T14:08:00.000-05:00

I went to TN for the weekend, and got together with some friends to do a photo shoot for my friends grant that is for her son...I dontated half of the proceeds from the shoot to my friends grant....I got 3 different families to do the shoot...the weather was PERFECT...

Shoot 1...girls girls girls...

Shoot 2...I used to babysit these guys...when the little boy was about 10 months old, and until he was 4..and his sister was 2..that's when I moved away. They have gotten so big, and were so easy to shoot...especially considering how nice it was outside and that they would have rather stayed home and played with their friends! Great job guys!

And my last shoot of the day was this little cutie...he's been walking for about a month now...and that's really all he wanted to do...was just walk! I definitely got my exercise in for the day chasing after him...and he thought it was really fun to turn around and head the other direction from wherever I had my camera pointed...but I still managed to sneak in a few good shots!

Snow days....

2010-02-11T11:00:00.000-05:00

I'm not usually a photographer of scenery....not that I don't love it...and honestly, that's how I got interested in photography..but these days, since I've got kids, and my friends have kids, I usually just spend my time photographing kids! That being said..when God throws close to 3 feet of snow your way....you tend to want to take some pictures of it!

7 month pictures...

2010-02-07T13:24:00.000-05:00

Ok Baby.....Be hungry.....
Be surprised....
Be happy....

Be serious....

Birthday Parties...

2010-02-01T13:14:00.000-05:00

Yes, these pics are from my son's birthday party...BUT...I'm totally open to taking pictures for your child's birthday party! Just think...you can interact with your child, enjoy your guests, and not worry about taking pictures because I'll do it for you......Let me know if you're interested!
Of course, normally I would do pictures of the cake and parents...but I'd rather not slap his name all over the internet!!

Contact me if you're interested in having me photograph your child's birthday or any other special occasion!

Hats...

2010-01-18T16:18:00.001-05:00

I love hats...they are super cute for babies and always make for fun pictures! This is that same little 5 month old cutie I shot last weekend...sporting some precious hats...and a really sweet bib!

My boys...

2010-01-13T10:05:00.000-05:00

Happy New Year!!!

Eyes...

2009-11-23T23:02:00.001-05:00

I did this photo shoot last week before leaving town. These 2 kids have the BEST eyes ever..the little boy has the biggest brown eyes, and the little girl has the prettiest blue eyes! See for yourself!

These kids were fun and very busy...which is a good peek for me into my future since they are about the same distance apart in age as my boys!

Friends...

2009-11-23T00:09:00.000-05:00

This is a friend of mine in TN's kids..and they were cute and definitely knew how to ham it up for the camera! I just loved their older daughter's beautiful red curly hair and the baby's smile!

Poor baby..it was so cold, we had to bundle her up and try to warm her up in between shots.

Sweet Family...

2009-11-18T21:35:00.000-05:00

This is another one of the shoots I did over the weekend...this is a very sweet and cute family! Here are a few of my favorites from their session!

More Fall Fun shoots....

2009-11-17T18:13:00.000-05:00

I did 6, yes 6 photo shoots this past weekend and it was a lot of fun!

This is one of the families I did a shoot for....all 3 of the kids were very easy to work with...it was my first shoot working with teenagers, so I was thrilled to have not 1 but 2 teenagers that were willing participants! Here are a few of my favorite shots!

Big Kids...

2009-11-14T21:05:00.000-05:00

It's not all that often that I get to shoot kids that aren't wearing diapers..but I have 6 photo shoots this weekend, and 2 of them were for older kids!

Here's the first family....both kids did great and were very photogenic...and seemed to have fun at the shoot as well!

Baby Girl Photoshoot

2009-10-25T23:22:00.000-04:00

Today I had the pleasure of meeting and photographing this cute little girl and her parents. We did the majority of the shoot outside at a local museum, and then came back to my home studio to do a few more pictures. I took TONS and here are my favorites!

New baby...

2009-10-22T22:02:00.001-04:00

This baby that I shot today is almost 3 weeks old..but came a month early. He's beautiful, and so is his big sister! Really, the entire family is quite cute!
I love it when my friends have babies...because I usually get dibs on photo stalking their children!

Shenandoah Valley Photoshoot

2009-10-11T21:38:00.000-04:00

I took my own family to the Shenandoah Valley Museum for a photo shoot this weekend..the weather was fabulous and the grounds were amazing!
To be completely honest, my 20 month old took a spill 2 minutes after we got there to do this shoot yesterday....and hit his head on a rock...he was perfectly fine, but has some scrapes and bruises to show for it...I photo shopped it out in some of the pictures but not others....because he's a toddler...and things happen!

October updates....
