Geesh it was a long fun weekend, last but not least, the sneak peek of the Hebble family, more to come soon.

Too cute, no really, what a lucky mama, more to come soon!

Boys will be boys, and this boy is awesome. Check back later for more of this sweet boy.

Saturday evening I found myself sitting outside my favorite coffee shop in Fredericksburg, sipping on a tall skinny latte… wondering if the rain that had been threatening all day was going to throw a wrench into my shoot with Miss Tessa. After several glances at the sky, I decided she was right, rain or shine, today we would shoot… deep breath, smile, I love my job. Tessa breazed into my life with a shy smile, and a stunning demeanor, right on time (a girl after my own heart). I was so happy we got to shoot together before I left for the west coast. She could not have been more of a joy to work with.

In the few months I’ve been here in Northern Virginia, Nicole of Nicole Benitez Photography has become a close and well loved friend and talk-shop buddy.

I must admit at first glance, I was a little intimidated, Nicole is nothing short of stunning, with her dark brown hair, bright intelligent eyes and tall model like frame. What can I say? Sometimes pretty people can be intimidating! With a huge smile and the quick admission “I’m a hugger”, (followed by a gianormous hug… of course), I got over my slight awkwardness… we became fast friends, bonding over coffee, and a constant stream of information, ideas and inspiration.

Sadly (for me), Nicole is relocating to Southern California shortly, her original home. After 20+ years of service for the Marine Corp, her wonderful hubby Eric is retiring. Luckily, I had the opportunity to shoot some family photos this past weekend around Woodbridge/Stafford. Talk about a family that is full of life! Yes, count again, that is five kiddos this family has been blessed with :)
