Miss Astra.... | Goodhart Photography, Northern Virginia Portrait Photography

Photos of my houseguest, who is visiting from Scotland and who is known as "Miss Astra" to the kids....

Margaret's Preview...

Here you go, Margaret. I'll get to the rest early next week! I thought they turned out great! And no, I did NOT photoshop Olivia's lips red - they are just naturally amazing.

Cindy's Preview...

House guests today and two photoshoots, so I only got a few pictures processed tonight. But this is going to be a great set! I've known these girls since they were 6 or 7 pound newborns, and they grow more lovely every year. Here are a few more:

Jackie's Sneak Preview.... | Goodhart Photography, Loudoun County Family Portraits

Spent a nice morning portfolio building with Jackie and her children. More lessons learned - bring smarties to reward toddlers (much smaller than graham crackers), bring bubbles to amuse them, make sure to get some full length shots if the children are dressed up! Once again I got nice shots regardless...

Brenda's Sneak Preview....

I had such a wonderful morning! All my resolutions to limit myself to 100 or so shots and winnow them down to 20 or 30 winning ones flew out the window with this beautiful, photogenic family.

I wanted to give Brenda and her gorgeous girls a quick preview since they were so generous with their time this morning. I hope to have time to develop more of them later tonight....

Technically this may not be a great photo, but I love how playful they look and their bright eyes and the sandaled foot peeking out...

They just started checking out the clover while I was mucking around with lenses or something. I love this one.

I love this one too, the embrace and how they are lost in different thoughts, and because Elizabeth's expression reminds me of my own kids!

And these pictures are just the tip of the iceberg, there are some incredible ones to come....

---later in the evenin

I love this photograph too.
So CUTE....I was informed I overused that word today but can you blame me??
Photoshopped a big leaf out of the upper right corner of the picture here...
That's a wrap for today!
