Oh My Goodness. WHERE has the last month GONE!!?

Oh, that's right, it went from Okinawa to Tokyo, Oahu, LA, DC, Alabama, NC, and Va... That's riiiiiight!

Life's been super crazy and it is finally settling in. I'm taking a hiatus from the business for a while longer... at least until things settle into a normal routine... and I'm homeschooling one of the little ones... so that might not be for a while!!

If you have any questions for me, or just HAVE to have me for your family photographer and you live in the Northern VA area, please feel free to contact me at OrganiquePhoto@yahoo.com and We'll see if I can squeeze you in!

Hope you are all having a fun and safe new year!

We are Booked!

After seeing these photos from a few weeks ago, everyone wants their little girls photographed by the sea wall! I have to admit, I want my little girl photographed by the seawall, too! ;)

So we headed to Sunabe and prayed for the rain to allow us enough time today to snap off a few shots. And it did! Cloud cover was awesome, and it stopped raining just long enough to get this

And this...

And then mom went home and D and I went on a little walk. We saw all kinds of people and cars, and she liked looking out for all the dog poo. (Oh to be a four-year-old again...)

I don't normally do sepia toned images, but I think this one was perfect and the sepia really sets the mood.

Thanks for the walk, D. It was fun running in the rain with you. xoxo

You sure can't complain about a day like this... can you see him in there!?

This morning we headed out for my last mini session of G-man. (*sniffle*) You can see him growing from maternity to newborn, and here, and here.

I wish I could have recorded G laughing when Mom threw him up in the air. Let me tell you, this is no small boy to be tossin' up!

He's such a sweet little chunky monkey.

I'm really gonna miss you guys...

This is RA and her hubby J. RA and I have written so many emails that I feel like she's a close friend of mine. And I sure wish that we'd met earlier, cause she was as sweet as pie. She's about 7 months pregnant with their first baby, and I wish I could take her maternity photos and newborn photos, cause this baby's gonna be gorgeous with a capital G!

Good luck to both of you guys. Can't wait to see those tummy shots and the new babe online in a few months!!!

Ahh, tis the season for Christmas Card photos! You may remember these cutie pies from last year. Little L was not walking yet, and big brother R, well, he did not want to stop playing with that Ninja Turtle!

Man, these kids have sure grown in the last year, haven't they?

R is oh so smart. He can count in English, Spanish, Japanese, and Korean!

L could not keep still.

Not. For. One. Second. (Although, I did manage to get this!! Awesome, huh, mom?)

I love these series... R was being so silly. And he is just looking like a BIG BOY! I can't get over it!

Thanks, mom and dad for spending a little time with me this evening. Always a pleasure to spend time with you guys. Enjoy your sneak!!

This was little Miss E's last mini session of her Seed to Sprout Package (which we'll start doing again once we get settled). You can see the family's other sessions here, here, and here. She's now 9 months. Wow, how this year has flown by! And she just keeps on getting prettier and prettier. Thanks, C for having me over today! It's always fun to hang out with you and the girls. xoxo

This morning I had the pleasure of hanging out with these two beauties and their hot momma. What was supposed to be a half an hour, turned into over an hour and a half of us talking and walking around (thanks to us not being able to find our cars after the session)!!

How's this for cute?!

And this?? Oh man, I love it when mom has good taste in clothes and accessories!

And how about these toe-headed girls? I just love me some blonde hair.

And the little ballerina modeling her tutu.

Thanks J for bringing the girls out this morning. I hope they had a good day at school!! See you soon!

H and I have rescheduled baby S's session a few times. Luckily the sun is out shining today! It is gorgeous outside! Which means perfect weather for an indoor session, too!

Baby S was as perfect as could be! He was very serious through the session, but I did manage to catch just a few smiles.

Check out those adorable curly lashes!

Thanks momma for bringing S over! I know I'll be seeing you guys again real soon! Enjoy!

Ok, on to my session today. Bryan's mom and I have rescheduled his session no less than five times due to these typhoons and clouds. We stuck to it today, though.

This morning baby J came back over to try a few posed shots again... he's just too darn fiesty! Did NOT want to cooperate with me. But I got this cute one anyway. I'll only share this one, momma. You can check out the rest in your gallery in a few days! I couldn't decide if I liked it better in color or in black and white. I do love my new fabric though!!

When mom and baby M arrived to the park, mister M was sleeping. But he woke up, and after a little fit, he was all smiles. This kid's a character if I ever saw one.

Baby M had me laughing (like rolling on the ground laughing) the entire session.

He loved playing in the sand... Eating the sand... Choking on the sand.

When mom and I tried to get him to look back over his shoulder, he sat there, looking straight ahead, smiling his mischievous smile and raising his little expressive eye brows... that little stinker.

Always a pleasure, M and M. See you two again soon I hope!

I finally have a second to sit down and get some words into this post! If you're a usual blog-stalker, you'll recognize baby P the III from last week's on location session... the session that threw my camera shutter into overload! Well, I got a new camera, and we rescheduled the other half of their session for today! Here's the ever-so-handsome mister P the III in all his drooling glory.

And showing off his skills... raising his head and cooing...

Sitting up in my newest prop... the wash basin...

Slobbering on daddy's nice collared shirt...

And swooning the girls with those deep dark chocolate brown eyes. Really... who can resist chocolate!?!?

Thanks L family for another fun time with you guys. Can't wait to see you again soon for some Christmas Photos! If you're also interested in getting some customized Holiday cards made, please shoot me an email and read here for the details!

These beautiful new parents met me at the park today for a mini outdoor session. They brought along their 3 month son, Mister P the III. They were a picture of pure happiness.

Mom and Dad both have really nice teeth!

Tomorrow I'll be seeing them again for an indoor studio session. I can't wait to get some hats on this cute little boy!

See you guys tomorrow! Enjoy!
