First Communion Photographs | Fairfax Family Photographer

Burke-NOVA-children.jpg

I can't wait for Spring but I am more excited for sessions to begin.  I start early, before the big day so you can rest easy and not stress!  Theres's a lot going on the day of the ceremony especially if you get the 8:30 AM mass and it's hard to grab all of the photographs you may want.  It's so nice to be able to relax and enjoy this special day in your little one's life knowing you have captured your memories!                                       Invitations or Thank-you Cards!I have celebrated 3 times with my own kids and it was so nice to have images ready for my Thank you cards. I can help with print products such as enlargements and albums too because as I always say, printing your images and getting them off our devices is everything!

Mini Sessions | Northern VA Photographer

Because you asked...You probably know I'm a full session fan, documenting all the things and all the connections, but I get it...Fall can be busy and the next thing you know it's Thanksgiving and you never got that great photograph you wanted to use for your cards.

All Around the Town

Growing up in New York, I took for granted the delicious pizza shop on every corner,  the view of the bridges connecting the boroughs, the bagels and the energy that's just undeniable.  Now that I live 500 miles away, I miss the city and this visit was long over due... NYC blog collage2Z9A55522Z9A55622Z9A55782Z9A5563-22Z9A55562Z9A56022Z9A56102Z9A5735nyc collage 32Z9A57292Z9A56892Z9A5726nyc collage 42Z9A57512Z9A57582Z9A57522Z9A57542Z9A57732Z9A57392Z9A57632Z9A57682Z9A56222Z9A57762Z9A57802Z9A58192Z9A5653As you can see, we ran the kids around the city.  So much to take in right?!  We hit Uptown, Downtown, witnessed peaceful protest and ate our faces off.  My love affair with NYC will never end and seeing it through the eyes of my children was really pretty cool.
