Baby Girl "S": 10 days old!

Today I took a little break from maternity leave to make sure to capture this member of my Baby Club before she got too much older! You may remember her gorgeous mama from the maternity session we had in January. We actually both shared a due date of Feb. 23rd and both had our little girls early (yea!). So, without further ado, check out this head of hair!

Such a sweet little mouth!

Love those rolls!  




We tried our best to keep her asleep but she just had to see what was going on!
Gotta love a girl in polka dots!
It's always my goal to capture a good yawn!
Since I just loved this location in their house I wanted to replicate the same picture we took during the maternity session.
Thanks girls!  Looking forward to seeing you both at 3 months (and hopefully dad too)!

I'm a lucky girl!

So, one of the perks of my job is having photographer friends to swap services with! When Harper was about 4 days old my good friends Beth Kubovcik of Sugar Rush Photography and Ingrid Kaslik came to experiment some ideas with Harper. So, to see Beth's pictures click HERE and to see Ingrid's click HERE (but you have to be a member of Facebook). Speaking of Facebook, if you're not already come and join Erin J. Photography on Facebook!

So, thanks again girls!
I'll be back with another blog post next week from a member of my baby club!

And one of me getting pooped on, one of the hazards of shooting a newborn!


And because I can't post without a picture, here is a picture of Ingrid in action!

Introducing the newest addition!

We we ended up having a pretty eventful week when my dr. informed me Wednesday afternoon that we would be having the baby Wednesday night because I had preclampsia!   Even though I already knew I had preclampsia I thought I had at least until Saturday so this was a surprise! But in the end everything went smoothly & we were glad to get to meet her a little bit early!  So, without further ado I would like to introduce:

Harper Katherine
8lbs 5oz
20.8 inches long
2/11/09

Harper appears to look just like her daddy!  I was shocked when the dr. said we had a blondie!  Now we each have our own  mini me! :-)
Haley was sooo excited to finally meet her new sister, who she says is named Cinderella and will correct us every time call her Harper.

Maternity Leave... | Northern Virginia Photographer

I wanted to let all of my current & future clients know that I am now on maternity leave. The baby has unfortunately not arrived yet but until she does I have been placed (forced) on bed rest! Super frustrating for me, but unfortunately necessary! I am still checking email so please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or if you would like to schedule an April or May session. April is almost booked up so hurry, hurry!
Of course I can't leave without posting a new, adorable baby! This is baby girl "L", born to some good friends of ours last Saturday. You'll be seeing them again as soon as I can get back on my feet to do their family session!
Until next time.
