SURPRISE! | Northern Virginia Newborn Photographer

Just 2 weeks ago I posted a blog of a very pregnant mom, due in November. Well... 2 days later this little guy decided to make a VERY early appearance! We were so lucky that we did this session when we did! Baby boy "G" arrived weighing just over 6 lbs with a head FULL of black hair, just like his sisters! Because of his early arrival I wasn't able to get to them until he was 13 days old. I really prefer to do newborn sessions within the first 10 days b\c babies are sleepy and easy to move around, so, we had a heck of a time keeping him asleep! But, we succeeded momentarily a couple of times. Welcome to the world "G"! Can't wait to see you grow over this next year!

Little, big sister "V".

BIG, big sister "S".

Dad had to work but we made sure he was represented!


Again, dad this one is for you!

Baby Girl "C": 5 days old

Today I got to meet this sweet little girl, baby girl #3 in this beautiful family! All 3 girls are adorable and the baby looks just like her oldest sister, who is already completely smitten with her! And, I want to thank mom for being brave enough to have me come over less than 24 hours after being released from the hospital! This will be the first of many as this is another Baby Club family. So, enjoy getting to know the "L" family this year everyone!

First, we'll start off with the BIG sister. Not camera shy AT ALL! :-)
Big sister #2...



Count of 3... 1, 2, 3

awwwwww!

Love it! Caught that fleeting newborn "smile".
After MUCH coaxing I was finally able to get her to sleep for about 5 minutes without being held. So worth it! Such a sweet sleepy head!

The King of the house!
Mom and her 3 little princesses...
See you all again in 3 months!

Back for more! | Northern Virginia Maternity Photographer

The S Family is soon to be a family of 5! You may recognize them from the Baby Club last year when I photographed baby girl "V". After 2 girls they are adding a boy to the family, to dad's delight! I love doing maternity & Mom is always so easy to photograph! She's my Pantene Model & she's ALL baby! Thanks for having me back guys!

Happy Halloween!

When you're pregnant with baby #1 you take it easy, don't lift anything heavy. Baby #2 and #3 THIS is what you're doing! SO hilarious! Super-mom!






Rub-a-dub!

See you again once the baby arrives!

The "R" Family: Northern Virginia Family Photographer

This past weekend I was able to photograph one of my favorite families again! This is the 3rd time I've met with this family and the girls have gotten soooo big! Little "A" was just a baby the last time I saw her and she just seems so grown up now! I love photographing siblings and these sisters never let me down! They always give me so much to work with so check'em out!

See! Already, the perfect shot!
And another...


More sisterly love!
Strike a pose!
Gotta love a good pouty lip!

Thanks for having me back again "R" family!

Little Miss "M": 1 year old | Washington, DC Family Photographer

1 year olds! Come one, come all! This has been the week of 1 year olds! "M" and her mom and dad met me down at the monuments this week. 1 is a tricky age because it's almost like they know exactly what you want them to do and they want to do just the opposite! They LOVE to run away, to look down at the ground all the time & never to look at you directly! But, I love 'em anyway! Mom also brought the cutest tutu for "M" to wear at the Jefferson! And I swear, normally they're so strict when they catch you taking pictures there but she charmed the security guards and they didn't say a word! Thank goodness! That will really come in handy later on when she gets pulled over for speeding! So, despite the insanely bright sunlight we were able to get some really cute stuff! Enjoy!
