I think Santa came a little early to this household! Even the recent “Blizzard 2009″ couldn’t stop me from making it to Washington D.C. to photograph this precious girl before Christmas. The travel delays were definitely worth it when I finally got to meet sweet Catherine, who happens to be my cousin (3rd I think we decided). She was super sleepy and might have been my easiest newborn session to date! Thank you Jennifer & Richard for inviting me to capture the first few days of your precious baby girl. She is just perfect and I am so happy for y’all! Have a Merry Christmas!

This is where the real love begins!

Leyda - SHE IS TOO PRECIOUS!!! I can’t wait to meet her. Lucky Catherine, to have such a talented cousin to capture her most precious moments.
There is no doubt it is a Happy New Year’s for Richard and Jennifer, but let me say it any ways Happy New Year’s.
Stacey - Beautiful!! My favorite is the one with the white hat. So precious!
Kirsten Weyter - Claire, I went to high school with Jennifer. My X is a photographer and I am an artist. I have to say I love the lighting in all these photographs! They are all so crisp in detail yet still soft in tone. My absolute favorite is the one of Catherine Noelle wearing the hat with the yellow flower. What an precious little angel she is! Thank you so much for taking and sharing these gorgeous pictures! Best wishes for New Year’s 2010, Kirsten
