Lovely Baby “L”: Maryland Newborn Photographer

March 21, 2013

Lovely Baby “L”: Maryland Newborn Photographer

I must confess, this little one almost made me baby hungry.  How cute is she?   She was so calm and peaceful throughout her session and it's probably because we caught her in a nice little age window.  Ideally the best time to photograph a newborn is within the first 10 days of life.  This is because they are still so sleepy and easy to pose while they are this young.  Also their skin is still fairly pure without the onset of baby acne which sometimes comes after two weeks.  If you are pregnant …

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas: Northern Virginia Family Photography

Sweet family “W”: Loudoun County Photographer, Loudoun Baby Photographer

This session happened when it was beautiful and warm out.  The …

A happy announcement + a favorite vendor: Northern Virginia Family Photography

So you may have noticed that things have been kind of busy around here.  It's that time of year where appointments get snatched up quicker that you can write them down and everyone is in full preparation mode for the holidays.  What I love most about this time of year is connecting with some of my favorite families and clients.  It is so gratifying to capture a family again and again and see their families grow and change. This was my first time capturing this family, though I have had the …
