Dinosaurs & A First Birthday (Alexandria, VA)

I fell in love with the sound
Oh I love to sing along with you
We got tunes we kicked around some
We got a bucket that the tunes go through
— Josh Ritter

I'm not usually a morning person, but the early light in Old Town Alexandria is gorgeous enough to turn any oversleeper into a jump-out-of bed-type of person. Plus there are no crowds - just  alleyways full of ivy and red brick walls. 

This little girl's first birthday was a few days after our photo shoot, but she walked/ran/explored so much that you'd think she was turning 2.

I love to take photos of kids discovering the world around them - and these two kids were so full of love, laughter, and curiosity. The entire family radiated joy. I spent the rest of the day smiling - happiness really is contagious.
