Northern VA Newborn Photographer ~ { Biggest Littlest NY Giants Fan!}

With the Super Bowl XLVI almost here, I remembered we have a past client that is a huge NY Giants fan.  One of his “must have” portraits was of his brand new baby boy resting on a commemorative NY Giants Superbowl Champions football.  So here he is, just hanging out, chillax’in and no doubt dreaming of a 4th...

Newborn Photographer to Alexandria Virginia ~ { Little Love }

This Alexandria, Virginia Mom and Dad brought their sweet little love this week for her newborn session.  She surprised them by coming two weeks early!  At just under 6 pounds, she was such a delicate little creature.  Her hair was so soft and her itty bitty baby toes were precious to behold.  Loved every moment with her!

Maryland Newborn Baby Photographer ~ { Pure Joy }

It truly was pure joy to work with this gorgeous newborn baby boy!  He nearly slept through his entire session which gave ample opportunity to capture so many beautiful, artistic newborn images.  This first time mom and dad drove all the way from Accokeek, Maryland which is all the way over in Prince Georges County.  And, we could not have been more delighted and honored to...

Newborn Baby Photographer near Gainesville Virginia ~ { Super Cute! }

This newborn baby’s family is from right down the road in Gainesville, Virginia so it was a short little ride to the studio for his newborn session.  He slept through the first whole hour and hardly made a sound except for these precious little peeps and sweet little baby whimpers.  Such a precious baby boy! So,...

Newborn Photographer near Arlington Virginia ~ { Baby Sweetness }

This little bundle of baby sweetness was a last minute squeeze-in and at 26 days old, she was much more alert that most of our little newborn babies.  But oh how sweet she was!  Just look at her precious expression in the first picture!  Doesn’t it just make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside?? ...

Newborn Photographer near Springfield Virginia ~ { Daddy’s Boy }

I was thinking about title to this post and really wanted to put “spitting image” but without a photo of this little one’s daddy, it would be moot.  But, seriously though…in the entire time I have been specializing in newborn photography, I have never seen a brand new baby be such a striking likeness to...

Baby Photographer to Woodbridge Virginia ~ { Miss Charlotte Grace }

I am truly a blessed woman.  God has blessed me in so many, many ways…there are too many to count.  However, one blessing that I can name right now is all the beautiful babies and their families that allow me to reach into their lives for what really is such a brief moment…but one that captures a smile or an expression...

It is hard to believe that Little Miss C was here just a short year ago ~ what a beautiful baby girl she is growing up to be!  It leaves me scratching my head and wondering, where on earth did the last year go?  We had a ton of fun and Miss C’s personality could best be described as;...

Newborn Photographers to Alexandria Virginia ~ { Big Baby Blues }

This precious little princess had the perfect balance of “sleepy time” and “wakey time”.  She must have known how much we wanted a portrait of her big, beautiful, deep blue eyes as she gave us a good 15 minutes of awake time right after a feeding.  In looking at her dad, it was clear that...
