A Sweet Girl Sleeps {Washington DC Newborn Photography}

This little girl was a dream for this newborn session. She was literally...dreaming. She slept for almost the entire session despite how many times we moved her/changed her clothes. She was so easy and you could tell how content she was. Her parents are very lucky. Having a gorgeous nursery and two very loving parents helps as well! She had a beautiful outfit on which her dad had bought for her-his first baby shopping experience! I look forward to watching this sweet little girl grow and hopefully she continues to be as good of a sleeper as she was that day!

A Beautiful Baby Boy {Washington DC Photographer}

This little boy already has a great life. He has two parents who love him and a sister dog who already watches over him like a third parent. A beautiful apartment in Arlington and more baby clothes than he could ever need. What more could he want? I knew his parents long before he was born and already know that they're well prepared for the job. Welcome sweet baby A to this wonderful world!

Little Miss A {Washington DC Newborn Photographer}

This is definitely one the best behaved newborns I have photographed. She lives with her loving parents in Glover Park and they have of course fallen in love with her. She is a little older than most of my newborn sessions-she was already a month old by the time I got to photograph her. But she still has the soft skin and curious eyes of a newborn with a little weight on her. Her mom created a beautiful nursery and I love the yellow sheets behind her beautiful skin. She never cried the entire time and was cooperative with anything we wanted. She was a pleasure and I can't wait to watch her grow!

Sweet Brothers {Potomac Newborn Photographer}

Sometimes you walk into a house with a newborn and everything is silent. The parents are whispering, the baby is sleeping soundly, and I feel like I should talk in a hushed town. Not in the W house. As soon as I got there, two year old big brother was talkative and friendly. He was interested in his little brother but only for a few short minutes before he was off to the next adventure. His little brother, though small in size, already had a large presence in this family. He has a gorgeous head of hair and a calm demeanor which makes for a perfect match. Good luck W family in all your new adventures!

A New Little Star {Washington DC Newborn Photographer}

This newborn session was definitely one of my favorites. It took me a whole 3 minutes to walk there as this little guy conveniently lives two blocks down the street from me. They have loads of natural light and he was so easy to photography. His parents are already smitten with him and he is definitely the star of the show. I look forward to watch this sweet little guy grow up and hopefully seeing him around the neighborhood. Thanks for letting me capture this special time with new baby H!

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!

A New Beauty {Washington DC Newborn Photographer}

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!
