Last Friday, I drove up to Washington, DC, to meet up with my friend Kenan and take some photos of her adorable 6-month-old son, Elijah. I met Kenan when I worked for an architecture firm in DC two years ago. She had contacted me several weeks ago, looking for a referral for a photographer to capture her son since I was in California. Luckily for me (and her!) I knew I was going to be out on this coast soon, and I set aside time to hang out with the two of them.
We met up at the Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial, which is on (what I thought was) the not-so-crowded side of the Tidal Basin. Here are some of my favorites from our morning together!
Oh man! Look at the look he’s giving the camera right here! Hello, heartbreaker!
Big thanks to Kenan for letting me capture her precious son! He was a total trooper! He only cried once during the entire shoot, and it was at the end. (He was tired and hungry… I was relating.)
Happy Wednesday, everyone!

Lauren
These pics are BEAUTIFUL! Elijah looks great. Kudos to him and to the photographer (and of course to mommy) for a beautiful photo shoot.
Comment no. 2! My favorite is the picture of him on the park bench…you did awesome Lauren!
Omg! These pictures are the best! They brightened my whole day and he was dressed very snazzy! Great job!
These are wonderful.Elijah is growing so fast. Does he ever stop smiling? Always busy too.He is just like his Gdad..smile!
Kenan, Turt is the cutest baby alive! I was showing him to all of my coworkers, and you look so happy in these pics. Congrats to you both!

Elijah is adorable and the pictures are awesome. Good job Kenan and Lauren, respectively. :)
Aww, he’s so handsome and happy! These photos are the perfect pick-me-up for my not-so-exciting day.
This is amazing work. I am in LOVE with this handsome little guy and his awesome Momma! I will definitely keep this site in mind when it’s time for my little one’s session :)
So good to see you post-shoot! The images are better than I imagined! Lovely day – great location – beautiful people! Who could ask for more! As precious as this child is, you really captured his essence with your lens! Amazing job!
(@ Krystal – that’s my favorite shot too!)
I *heart* these photos of my BFF and Godson. These photos are awesome. I esp love the one of him standing and Kenans fierce royal blue pumps. This little boy makes me melt!
Great job on the photos. *putting you away for a future photo shoot*
Elijah looks awesome! I am especially loving the one of him standing, and his straight-no-chaser gaze right into the camera in his green shirt. Do I see a future politician?
Lauren!
Jeebus I wish you weren’t based in California. I would get you to take all our photos. You are hands down amazing. I love them!
Lauren this session is adorable!
