Deffinbaughs - Love + Laughter

Meet Scott and Denise. They have six children. Did you hear me? They have SIX children!  I can barely get my own son out the door, but let alone six? From the outside, these two seem superhuman, but hanging out with them I'm always remind about how simply great they are.

I have known Denise since second grade and watching her and her husband create a wonderful family has been awe inspiring. (Don't get any ideas, Mom, we like our one kid.) Scott laughs at all my bad jokes, which is why I like this guy so darn much. He and I need to go out for a beer.

Denise called me to take family photos before their oldest, Vicci, started college at McDaniel. One thing lead to another and everyone wound up getting new head shots.  Scott secretly told me between head shots and family portraits he fell asleep on the couch. . .in his suit. Who can blame him?

It's always a pleasure and an honor to have this family of 9 (Coco the dog, too) to block off time for me.  

Kids (in order): Vicci, John, Scott Jr., James, Joe, Lexi (count 'em, did I get them all?)

Jessica, Physical Therapist // Portraits

Jessica contacted me to take some new portraits for her expanding physical therapy business in DC called Martial Arts and Sports Physical Therapy, which concentrates on martial arts competitors, whether highly skilled or recreational. Jess has a 2nd degree Black Belt in Aikido and a Brown Belt in Dan Zan Ryu Jujitsu. She is also turning her specialties towards expectant mothers. Being a mother herself, she understands the needs for physical therapy during pregnancy and postpartum.  Martial Arts and Physical Therapy is rebranding and with that comes some new photos. I was lucky to also have her husband and son join us, too!



    
     Oh, how quickly they fall apart.  So cute!

Welcome Eliana Grace

Eliana Grace is here!  She was 12 days late, but she finally arrived on June 11.  You might remember Elise and Mark's photos from May.  This baby was expected about a week after.  Nope, Eliana needed to have a grand entrance.


Elise and Mark's new little girl is adorable and so sweet.  She even cracked a little smile for me.  Ok, babies can't really smile at this age.  It was a little toot that forced that giggle, but I like to think that it was all for me.  


Congratulations!  I love being an Aunt!!





I also put together Eliana's announcement!  I love purple.
