FAMILY - Goodhart Photography, family photographer in Northern VA

I had a great morning with this beautiful and energetic family of 5! I tried out "Mr. Peeper" today - a large-eyed finger puppet I purchased here and it seemed to work quite well for my family shot! I didn't even need to practice my newly learned head-swapping skills.

Then I did most of the shots indoors, as the children had light-sensitive glasses, and it was getting hot.

Is a photo ever finished?

I suppose at some point I will be too busy to go back and edit old photographs every time I learn a new photoshop technique or find a new favorite texture! But right now, I always manage to go back and edit a few...these are from a shoot in early July....

GIRL POWER! Goodhart Photography, Northern Virginia

Or Flower Power! Or, Sun Flare! I think "Girl Power!" is most appropriate though, because these girls were troopers to dress up and play their violins in the August humidity.

Experimenting with Black and White post processing effects...

A few more for Meredith....

This photograph just makes me melt. What a beautiful baby!

And Talia looks like such an angel here....

Morning Photoshoot in my Yard....

There was a little girl with a little curl right in the middle of her forehead...







These two girls were amazing! It was impossible to take a bad shot of them....Here's the first few shots from today for Mom....

A few more for Diane... | Goodhart Photography, Northern Virginia Family Photographer

I am doing a lot of photoshop experimentation...Below little E looks so angelic I processed her with a glow...

Big sister A flashed a big grin at the camera...

I had a wonderful time photographing these total sweeties....


I wish I had shot from this location first, little E was pretty much done by the time we headed over to this part of the Lansdowne waterfall, but I love this picture of her two older siblings.
