I first picked up a camera about 14 or 15 years ago. It was around the same time that I also joined a community of hobbyist photographers in Washington DC. We had so much fun as a group, roaming all over the nation’s capital, taking photos of the city, its people, and sharing our work on the (now obsolete) ‘Flickr’. 

Although time has passed and I don’t get to see everyone from that group nearly as much as I’d like, I was thrilled when this new dad reached out to see if I could take some photos of his beautiful wife and baby girl last fall. 

We woke up bright and early to meet at the Virginia side of Great Falls, and we were greeted by a beautiful sunrise and mist over the water. 

While I’ve grown accustomed to clients bringing their dogs along to their family session, I was pleasantly shocked when this family showed up with their adorable rag doll cat! He was such a champ posing for photos and taking in the scenery. I learned that he is quite the traveler and loves to accompany his owners wherever they go! 

I hope to be able to photograph this beautiful family again, especially as their precious little one grows and changes!
