I happen to be friends with their parents so I would have enjoyed photographing them no matter what. But this baby smiled and cooed for most of the session which made it even better. We lucked out on a beautiful spring morning with sunny skies. I hope this little babies continues to be as full of smiles as she is now.

She Turns One! {Washington DC Family Photography}
I met this Capitol Hill family last year when the mom contacted me for a newborn session when their tiny little girl arrived. I was so excited to photograph them a year later to celebrate this little girl turning one. She's no longer a sleepy newborn and was full of opinions and personality. We did all sorts of things to get her to smile and ended our session at the playground where she was happiest. I can't wait to watch her grow even more!
Time with a Toddler {Washington DC Family Photography}
I've known this little guy since he was born. I photographed him almost a year ago when he was first sitting up so it was great to get a chance to photograph him now that he is a full blown toddler. His adorable curls and easy going personality made for a fun spring morning in Bishop's Garden. I can't wait to continue to watch him grow.
Sleepy Little Girl {Washington DC Newborn Photography}
I loved meeting this new little baby girl in Maryland. She had a beautiful home with lots of wonderful windows (a photographer's dream!) and she was basically asleep the entire time I was there. People are always asking me whether the baby should be awake or asleep during their session and I remind them that this is something we usually can't control. However this is the only time in your life where you'll get sleepy photographs taken so we should take advantage of it. She was a wonderful little model and I hope she stays as calm and easy.
The New Baby Boy {Washington DC Newborn Photography}
This little guy was as sweet as he could be. At not even a week old, he was sleepy and content throughout our session. He had a gorgeous well-lit room right in the center of Washington DC. His sweet parents (and visiting grandparents) were obviously smitten with him. They had received this white basket as a gift and I loved using this as a basic white background that his gorgeous skin looked great again. I loved photographing this little guy and hope he's always so calm.
Sweet Baby in the Garden {Washington DC Family Photography}
This mom contacted at a perfect time. By the time we scheduled our session, her sweet little girl was just about 7 months which is a great age to capture. Her mellow and friendly personality shined and I loved capturing her in the morning light in beautiful Bishop's Garden. She was happy to show off her newest skill of sitting up and loved looking around at all of the sights of the gardens. I loved capturing this little girl and look forward to watching her grow.
A New Family of Three {Washington DC Newborn Photography}
I loved meeting one of Washington DC's newest families last week. While their daughter showed up a few days early, they were already such naturals and wonderful parents. They knew the tricks to soothe her and were even able to get her to snooze away for most of our hour together. I loved meeting these three (and the furry member of their family) and hope baby H continues to snooze be such a doll.
Maternity Session in the Park {Washington DC Maternity Photographer}
Washington DC has some weird weather and while I know the lack of real winter (at least during the winter months) bothered some people, it worked out wonderfully for my outdoor photo sessions. These sweet parents-to-be lucked out and we got a spring-like day in beautiful Bishop's Garden. They were warm and easy to talk to which means our photo session feels like a fun hang out and definitely does not feel like work. I can't wait to meet their little one soon-hope baby is as wonderful at photos as her parents!
Nine Days Old {Washington DC Newborn Photographer}
As I shared with these parents, newborn sessions usually go one of two ways. Either the baby is awake the whole time buy fussy or they are asleep the whole time. Its not quite as common that they are awake but calm and complacent. But little baby K broke that rule. He was alert and awake the entire time but happy to just lay low and look cute. I gave him an A+ for behavior at only 9 days old. He makes being a DC newborn photographer easy! Thanks for being so good little guy.
A New Little Lady {Washington DC Newborn Photography}
I loved meeting this little lady a few weeks ago. She had a beautiful well lit nursery and two very loving parents. Her parents are both teachers so are already well quipped with patience and a love for kids. She is one lucky girl. After a few eating breaks we finally got a few minutes of her sleeping. And I swiftly (and silently) was able to catch these sweet photos of her in her crib. I loved meeting this little girl and can't wait to watch her grow.
