Gaby and Pietro were one of my first clients when I started my wedding photography business and so I was super excited to learn they had just had a baby. So a family portrait session was in order.  Gianluca is only 4 months old but he’s a big, healthy boy. He was all smiles, enjoying the many stuffed animals Natalie and I were tempting him with to look at the camera. He didn’t cry once. And even more exciting, shortly after we shot this family portraits, Gaby learned she’s pregnant with their second child! Mazel Tov! We already are planning maternity shots when she gets to be farther along.

I kept posting mini posts of Desaray and Lauren’s Wedding so it’s time to finish! After a Quaker wedding ceremony(which I got to sit down and enjoy because they don’t allow photographs which quickly went downhill to me crying on a bench in the back after an hour of people standing up and pouring their heart out) and stop at the Dupont fountain, we headed back to Alexandria, Virginia for the reception. Hot dogs, burgers, and beer made everyone feel relaxed and ready to have a good time. Ace of Cakes whipped up their amazing cake with political buttons all over it. I couldn’t believe Desaray and Lauren had designed it!

I found Desaray’s birdcage veil laying around and had to capture it because I was so impressed she made it herself!
