Sleeping Baby {Washington DC Newborn Photographer}

There were so many things I loved about this session. The first is obviously the star of the show, sweet baby A. He slept literally the entire time I was there and could not have been better behaved for his first photo session. Of course in close second came his friendly and sweet parents. They have created a beautiful nursery full of natural light and I can tell what wonderful parents they already will be. I am not usually into props and stuffed animals but I am so glad we did this last shot with the stuffed animals. All credit goes to his mom on this one! Thanks for these great shots baby A!

Hello World {Washington DC Newborn Photography}

This is sweet baby H. I was very excited to meet him since I knew his parents before they even knew each other. He already has these big blue eyes which he was kind enough to show off only for the first few minutes and then went quietly to sleep for almost the rest of our time together. He already seemed so comfortable in his new home and I can't wait to watch him grow.

Two Weeks New {Washington DC Newborn Photography}

I loved meeting this sweet family. Little baby L was so well behaved, he barely made a peep the entire session. His parents have created a beautiful nursery for him in their apartment and his fur brother was also an enthusiastic participant. This whole group was so calm, I was able to capture their love and adoration for their new little guy.

Bright Eyed Baby Boy {Washington DC Baby Photography}

Three month olds are sometimes hard to capture. They're squirmy or unpredictable and not quite newborn but not quite baby. But not this sweet baby B. He was alert and adorable and such a wonderful age to photograph. His big eyes and adorable big cheeks coupled with his loving parents made for a wonderful morning in Bishop's Garden.

This Boy is One {Washington DC Baby Photography}

I was so excited to see this family again. I met this little guy when he was only a week old, last year and he had the same beautiful blue eyes and blonde hair then. He is now more mobile and more awake but the same sweet babe. His mom made their clothes for this session which made these photos even more special. I loved seeing this family again and hope to continue to photograph baby L.

 

An Evening in Alexandria {Washington DC Maternity Photography}

This mom and dad to be lucked out with beautiful weather and a beautiful setting. They specifically requested we do our session in Old Town since that is where they got engaged (and did wedding photos). I'm glad we got to capture yet another milestone on these same cobblestone streets.

One Happy Baby {Washington DC Family Photography}

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.

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.
