Beautiful Baby Hope! - Maryland Newborn Photographer

February 10, 2010 – 5:18 pm

This week I braved the snow to go visit Lana, Dave, Lauren, Carmen and the newest member of their family - baby Hope! I first had the privilege of meeting this family back in July of 2008 on Carmen’s 2nd Birthday at her Celebration of Life Party. Although we did not have much time to talk that day as Lana and Dave were literally surrounded by soooo many family and friends, it was evident that this was one amazing family. A family of unbelievable strength, love, faith and courage. They have stayed in my thoughts ever since that day and I was so happy when I heard Lana was expecting another little one. I was pretty much over the moon when she contacted me about doing a newborn session - yipee!  So even blizzards wouldn’t keep me away from meeting baby Hope!

Lana & Dave she is absolutely beautiful and I am so very happy for you - hope you enjoy the sneak peek!

Lana & Dave - I caught Hope’s precious little smile when you had your backs turned….he, he, he. And one of my favorites from the day…. Hope and her big sisters

Little Cutie - Northern Virginia Newborn Photographer

December 7, 2009 – 10:14 pm

This weekend I had the pleasure of meeting this precious little newborn. The thing with newborn sessions is that no matter how much planning, how prepared the parents are, or how many “newborn photography tricks that I pull out of my bag”….the little ones certainly run the show.  Little Sienna must have known it was her big modeling debut that day and did not want to miss a minute of it. She certainly gave me a run for the money trying to get some sleepy shots but finally decided to take a short nap. I sort of think that maybe she wanted to stay up and watch football with her dad - lol.

Mom and Dad - I had a great time meeting you and little Sienna. Hope you enjoy your sneak peek!

Mom had painted this mural on the wall in the nursery - truly one of the most gorgeous that I have seen. I think they have to take a picture of Sienna in front of this same mural at 6 months and a year.

And this last one is for dad! Go Steelers!

Beautiful Baby! - Northern Virginia Newborn Photographer

October 24, 2009 – 12:21 am

One of the favorite parts of my job is getting to follow a family as they take the journey from pregnancy to welcoming their new little one. I had an absolute blast with this couple at their maternity shoot and could not wait to capture their sweet angel once she made her appearance. One of my favorite maternity shots was the one where they were deciding her name - see below! (inspired by a wonderful photographer Pinkletoes!)

Well can anyone guess her name??

Welcome beautiful Emmy!! She was the perfect newborn model!

Twin Baby Fun-Virginia Baby Photographer

August 18, 2009 – 11:47 pm

This past Sunday I had the pleasure of accompanying my friend Stephanie on one of her shoots.  These two and half month old cutie pies were a joy to shoot. They took turns sleeping and handled their debut photo shoot very well! Thanks Steph for inviting me along - I had a blast!

Eva is the big sister (by a whopping three minutes - but she was oh so petite and princess like!)

And “little” brother Gabriel was just a sweet chunky little thing - loved his sweet temprament and cute cheeks!

Gabe - the Rockstar, Part II - Northern A Newborn Photographer

July 29, 2009 – 9:54 pm

This past Sunday, I had the pleasure of spending the morning with little Gabe and his Mom and Dad. I have to admit that when Gabe’s mom contacted me about doing a newborn session with her already 16 day old little one, I was slightly unsure of whether we would be able to get ALL the sleepy newborn shots that you see on my site (I typically shoot for newborn sessions to be done at 10 days and under as they generally are a little sleepier at that time).  Well this little model totally surprised me and was by far my sleepiest newborn to date. He was awesome!

On top of that, I just had a fun time hanging out with this new family. It was great talking with Mom about being a new parent, the joys (and pains) of being a business owner (she owns a printing company), or just life in general, to absolutely cracking up at Dad who was dying to help out, but at the same time was melting from the combo of the 80 degree house that I ask parents to provide for newborn sessions and me running a space heater. I more then once caught him stepping out to the next room to stand in front of a fan - lol! These two were clearly smitten and head over heals in love with their new little man - I feel so privileged to be able to share in these special moments and capture this special time for them.  I LOVE MY JOB!  Thank you both and congratulations!

Could Not Wait! - Maryland Newborn Photographer

June 22, 2009 – 12:17 am

Remember this recent maternity session? Just 5 short days later, little Cameron made his appearance into the world (a whole 6 weeks early). I am thinking that he could not wait to meet his gorgeous mama. He is a little trooper and made it home from the hospital much sooner then anticipated. What a blessing! Angie, thanks for allowing me to capture these special times for you and congratulations!!

I was so happy mom was feeling great and wanted to venture out to “our” field. OHHHH imagine pulling up to a freshly mowed field - eeekk!!  Thank goodness Angie had been eyeing other fields around her house - it all worked out!  :o)

I just had to add this one - I call it “THE THINKER” lol - tooo cute!

Love this mama-son moment!

Double the fun - Maryland Newborn Photographer

May 27, 2009 – 12:14 am

On Sunday I had the pleasure of the spending the afternoon with this beautiful family and their new bundles of joy!

It was a nice relaxing drive out to their house in Maryland and when I walked into their home, my heart breathed a happy sigh. Their home was the perfect example of decorating your house with your family memories as Art. Beautiful canvases and gorgeous framed prints of their older son adorned the walls. I should have taken pictures because clients frequently ask for ideas for wall layouts for their prints but then I thought they might ask if I was there to take pictures of their cutie pie twins or their walls - lol!

I had such a great time with the twins - they really were little angels.  Apparently, sister surprised everyone by sleeping almost the entire session.  Brother was a little more curious as to the goings on in the house and tried not to miss out ;o) I even had the opportunity to capture a couple of big brother once he woke up from his nap.  I am super excited about the variety of images we were able to capture. Thanks “H” Family I had a great afternoon-enjoy your sneak peek!

And here is super duper cute big brother :o)

Sweet Sweet Baby . Northern VA Newborn Photographer

I could not wait to meet this little sweetheart - Sweet Baby “O”. After all, at our maternity session that took place a couple of months back, I knew that I had not only met an awesome client but also someone that I could not wait to hang with again :o)  This family’s oldest daughter is the same age as my youngest and they moved within 10 minutes of my home shortly after their maternity session. So it was just a hop skip and jump over to their house to meet the newest addition. I couldn’t be happier to see this BEAUTIFUL little one  - what a blessing for them! J & A I hope you enjoy your sneak peek - there will be many more coming your way!

It was so cute… little Miss A had to check out what was going on with her little sister here.

look at the back wrinkles - I love!!!And I just love this shot - mom just looking at her adorable little one. The newborn stage passes way too quickly - I am glad that she will have these moments captured forever!
