Newborn Photography Tips

Baby Makes Four {Bethesda Newborn Photographer}

This family got in touch once their baby girl had arrived and I’m so glad they did. Despite snow and schedules, we found a beautiful bright day to capture their new dynamic as a family of four in their beautiful Bethesda home. Big brother warmed up quickly and made for such a fun photo session.

A New Baby Boy {Chevy Chase Newborn Photographer}

This newborn session was truly a dream. I always love capturing new babies when there is a toddler around. The toddler adds some fun and spice to the session. This little baby was so calm and slept through our whole session. He had a beautiful nursery in their NW DC apartment that made for a beautiful setting. Thanks for letting me capture this special time in the early newborn days.

Little Brother is Here {Chevy Chase Newborn Photographer}

I first met this family when big brother was born. He is now a full blown toddler full of smiles and energy. I loved being able to capture his new role as big brother and their life as they welcomed this new baby home.

New Baby Sister {Chevy Chase Newborn Photographer}

These two siblings could not have been sweeter. I loved playing with this fun and energetic big brother (who even got to pretend he was a photographer!) and this sweet baby sister who was awake almost the whole time. They were both such great photo subjects and are two of my new favorite photo subjects in Chevy Chase!

Sweet Baby Boy {Washington DC Newborn Photographer}

This little boy was only a few weeks but already such a great little model. Most newborns are some combination of fussy or sleepy during their photos but he was wide awake showing off his beautiful big eyes which his parents (and visiting Grandma) just adored looking at. It is clear he is already so loved.

New Baby Sister {Washington DC Newborn Photographer}

I met this sweet family living in Mt. Pleasant in Washington DC a few months ago for a maternity session. I immediately hit it off with their two year old and it was so fun getting to see her again and meet their new baby girl. Both girls are clearly made for the camera and made my job so easy.

Five Day Old Baby Girl {Washington DC Newborn Photographer}

These new parents get the reward for “pulling it together the fastest”. Their sweet baby girl was only 5 days old when I came to photograph her. She was calm and alert the whole time-I barely heard a peep. They had a beautiful well-lit nursery which was a beautiful backdrop for our photos. What a wonderful morning.

New Baby Sister {Washington DC Newborn Photographer}

Two adorable girls and a bright beautiful nursery in DC. This made for a wonderful newborn session. Big sister stole the show and was happy to show me her tricks. I loved meeting this family.

New Baby Girl {Washington DC Newborn Photographer}

Like many newborn sessions during 2020, this one was quite delayed but I’m so glad we were able to capture this still small little lady in her early months. Her parents have a beautiful well-lit apartment that was the perfect backdrop to capture this new family of three.

Late Newborn Session {Washington DC Newborn Photography}

Well beginning in March, to cancel all sessions. While everyone was understanding, I felt especially bad for all the newborn parents who missed out in getting photographs of those first days. I was happy we were able to do “newborn” photos for this family even when she was no longer a newborn. It was nice to catch her as a 3 month old when she could smile a bit and interact more. This was a great reintroduction into newborn sessions.
