Washington DC and Virginia Child Photography - Child Portrait Photographer Ruth David

Fabulous Session. Period.

I had been looking forward to this session since the first time we discussed booking it - for one thing, I had been in the home and knew the light was fabulous. For another thing, mom is a joy to work with. For yet another thing, the kids are an age I just love working with.
And the session did not disappoint. Beautiful light, beautiful kids, beautiful mom, and even two doggies who cooperated like champs.
Here is a sneak peek, with gallery to come soon. Enjoy!

 


  And I got ahead of myself and just couldn't resist trying an antique treatment on this one -

Little Boys...

Great session today - my second-to-last before a small detour for knee surgery next week. The "big boy" in this series was one of my babies that was featured in the Big Book of Babies, so it was extra fun to come back and see how he has grown. It's amazing how time flies. Now he is a big brother, and we tried to get a nice combo of the "new" baby, big brother, and mom/dad/grandparents.
All-in-all, a really great session that should be a lot of fun to proof. Here is the sneak preview:

And I couldn't resist one of him with a photo from his baby session:

 

Thanks for a fun morning, more to come soon!

I See You in Every Drop of Rain

Sometime last year I became fixated on macro photographs that showed reflections of flowers in the dewdrops. They were so impressive. Impressive enough that I spent hours experimenting with flowers and tape, trying to get the reflections just right. At some point it occurred to me that if you could reflect a flower, you could also reflect other things, including images, if you went about it the right way. After much experimentation, I came up with a process that gave me these images:

For some reason, I never continued down this line of experimentation, but I am thinking I may start back on it this week. It's sort of been calling me lately...

Simply Precious

There's not much more to say. This was the most adorable baby boy, and he just smiled all over himself. I loved this session and couldn't wait to grab a few and proof a preview!
