Northern Virginia's Newest Girl {Northern Virginia Newborn Photographer}

On a cold day in January, I somehow ended up in one of the warmest apartments in Northern Virginia. These two sweet people welcomed one of the most adorable newborns I've ever seen. She had cheeks for days and a full head of beautiful hair. And you'll remember their furry family member from their maternity session. He got to be included too (well, there was not much of an option according to him). Floor to ceiling windows provided ample light and an awesome loft apartment was a great setting. I can't wait to watch Baby M grow!

After meeting these parents a few months ago for their maternity session, I could not wait to meet their new daughter. And of course I was not surprised to see a beautiful newborn who is already loved so much. She has a gorgeous well-lit nursery in Capitol Hill that made a wonderful backdrop. And we cannot forget about the first furry child. He also wanted to be a part of the photo session and joined us for a few exciting shots at the end. I can't wait to watch sweet baby E grow!

The Only Thing Sweeter {Chevy Chase Newborn Photographer}

There are few things that could be cuter than a sweet 7 day old with a full head of hair. But a lively 2 year old toddler brother with a smile that could kill...well that can do it! Meeting these two brothers (and their lovely parents and Bubbie) was a wonderful way to start the new year. Big brother was awesome for the camera, as soon as I showed him how Elmo can "dance" on my head. And sweet baby Z was a great model, showing us his beautiful eyes and sweet baby toes. I loved capturing this special time for this family of 4.

Finally a GIRL Newborn Session {Washington DC Newborn Photographer}

What a treat it was to take pictures of sweet Baby E. I've seen quite a trend this year in newborn sessions and that trend is BOY. Almost all of them (well all but 2 to be exact) have been boys. So it was quite fun to capture this pretty little girl. She has a gorgeous nursery filled with natural light and two parents who adore her. During my two hours I saw everything that goes into a newborn-a diaper change (or two), feeding, sleeping, soothing, and a tiny bit of crying. I loved capture all of that and hopefully these photos will always remind her parents of what a special time this was. 

A Newborn Wide Awake! {Washington DC Newborn Photography}

I was so excited to meet this little guy. He was bright eyed and alert the entire time I was there but miraculously never cried. For a newborn session, that was quite the success story. I loved the way he looked at his mom and dad. He clearly knows they're special (which I know as well). Having a beautifully lit nursery never hurt either. Thanks for letting me capture these special moments!

A Very Sleepy Newborn in Northern Virginia {Northern Virginia Newborn Photographer}

Meet sweet baby A. He gets the award for the sleepiest newborn I've ever photographed. In fact, I never saw his eyes open the entire two hours I was there. A dream for his parents and for this photographer who is used to newborns much fussier. He didn't even wake when his canine brother jumped very close. I could not resist the shots of the two of them together after that.
