Beautiful Year, Beautiful Colors

I met this little guy last year when he was only 7 weeks old. One of my most vivid memories from that photo shoot was his ability to maintain eye contact with me throughout the session. He hasn't changed a bit! Though he was fascinated with the dandelions and other flowers at the Washington Arboretum on this particular morning, he still looked my way several times, allowing his beautiful blue eyes to catch the sunlight...and for me to catch his looking. : )

This is absolutely one of my most colorful sessions of the year. Not only was the grass beautiful shades of bright greens while the flowers gave various pinks, whites and yellows to the backgrounds, but the clothing colors chosen by the parents couldn't have been better! Their blue and red-orange shirts...and jeans... complemented each other so well and contrasted perfectly against the spring greens. Two thumbs up to this family for clothing choices!

I have so enjoyed all three sessions with this family. From seeing tiny baby E resting quietly over his dad's shoulder last spring, to sitting up in the sand in the fall, to walking and running around in the grass this spring...the changes have been amazing to say the least. Thank you to M & A for a Beautiful Year. I hope you enjoy your session preview!

Whenever we look at your website or blog (which is often) Ricky and I say how we wish you could come visit us in Hawaii. We would love to have someone with such a loving eye take photographs of our little guy. Beautiful work!
