The Power of Memory | Washington DC Maternity Baby Photographer

October 05, 2020 in kate juliet photography, maternity, newborns

I have a terrible memory.

I am constantly forgetting why I walked into a room.
I couldn't tell you what I had for breakfast yesterday.
I never remember movie endings.

To make matters worse, coupled with my poor memory is a poor accounting of time. Did something happen last month? Last year? Last decade? I just couldn't say.

It's a hard thing to accept about myself, particularly as someone who places a high value on memories and the past. I want to remember all the little things, but the forces of nature had other plans. No matter how much I might want to, I’m not naturally inclined to remember all my moments.

Sometimes I will have moments with my son where I just look into his face and will myself to remember. "Let this be something you will remember forever," I tell myself. "Don't ever forget this." I know that sometimes it works, but I’m sure there are moments I’ll never get back again. It’s not until I look back on our family albums that the memories come flooding back. What it was like when he was so little. How hot it was that day. How nervous I was. And every moment comes back to life like it was always there.

And I am so very grateful for it. For the silly moments that I couldn’t remember on my own. To remember his little face, how much younger his dad and I looked not all that long ago. How much we’ve all changed since then.

Alexandria VA Newborn Photographer| Baby Boy William Makes Family of Four

June 22, 2020 in newborns

Some babies come into the world on their own terms. Baby William was born at home with his dad there to catch him, while his big sister slept upstairs. Life can come unexpectedly, but they have the most amazing story and memories. My favorite thing is getting to see clients again and again. It’s so special to be able to meet a family and then get to document the most important parts of their lives. To meet their new babies when they’re so new, to watch their children grow.

I’ve been fortunate to work with this family for several years now. To photograph both of mom’s pregnancies, and now both of their babies. See each of their sessions here:
