Capturing new life (or newborn) sessions is so special to me. Families are welcoming a new life to their home, and there’s so many beautiful things happening. My job as a DC and Maryland newborn lifestyle photographer is to capture those special, once-in-a-lifetime moments as your family grows. While every family is different, I aim […]

A and Z welcomed their baby boy this summer! I was absolutely honored that they asked me to capture new portraits as a family of three in their NOVA home to celebrate his arrival.

One of the recent couples I photographed a maternity session for has welcomed their baby girl to the world! I had the honor of capturing their newborn portraits at home to celebrate.

As a mom and a family photographer, I know that choosing the type of session that’s best for your family can feel overwhelming. There’s minis and full sessions.

I’m not going to lie – one of my favorite messages to receive from a family is: “I have news, we are expecting.” My second most favorite message is: “Will you photograph our family when the baby arrives?” I absolutely love photographing families as they grow – whether it’s a new family to me, or […]
