Lucas is One

Yesterday, I had the pleasure of photographing Lucas, a small soft person living in Northwest DC. You see, my web 2.0 savvy and very well connected friend Kate B. is on the Cleveland Park listserv and received a request from Lucas' mom for photographer suggestions as her little boy was about to turn one....Kate responded, mentioned my love of photographing babies and we made a playdate at the Sheridan School. The location was perfect because there were several soft areas for Lucas to experiment with standing and walking...and tons of mulch for snacking on.

The photos turned out very well if I don't say so myself. Lucas' parents, Abbi M. and Malachi J., told me they didn't mean to both wear plaid shirts (which resulted in several lovely photos of the three of them donning pseudo matching outfits) but even so, the group shots are also fun. Here are some favorites...






PS--I also tried to add one of those fancy photographer logo/watermark situations to the corner of this photo. I am still very much playing around with the font, wording, placement, etc...but sort of love everything about the idea of putting my little stamp on some favorite shots.
