Rediscovery | Fairfax County Newborn Baby Photographer

in

I was cleaning up the other day (picking up all the legos that had migrated to my son's room) and came across one of our family photo albums. I hadn't look at it in awhile so I took a few minutes to sit with it and look the pages. Some of the photos are my very favorites and I clearly remember. While others seemed almost brand new to me since I hadn't looked at them in awhile.

And I just sat there looking at them. And me being me, I got teary eyed thinking back and remembering. I am always proud of my son, my family, the life that my husband and I have built. But somehow seeing it laid out in front of me, I just felt it that much more.

I made my husband look at a few of them too (and he laughed at me for being so sentimental), and then back on the shelf the album went. Waiting to be re-discovered another day by someone else.

If I'm lucky, maybe it will be me again.

Northern VA Baby Photographer | See Your Images Everyday

in , , , , ,

We live in a digital age, but for me artwork is it. I understand the easy appeal of digital files - they're convenient and instant. You don't have to wait around and you can share them in a single click. We are busy and have to focus on what's coming up next, it's hard to slow down and consider what images we want to have and where.

But ultimately, what good is a photograph if you never see it? Share away on facebook and instagram (I love them both!), but eventually your images will fall below the scroll where you can't see them anymore. Computers crash. Websites fail. Technology is upgraded and the old things are lost. Think of how many computers and phones you’ve owned and how much was lost each time you got something new.

You worked so hard for these images. You searched for the best photographer. You planned outfits and looks. You wrangled children (and perhaps even your spouse) and made sure everyone looked their best. You spent so much time and effort on your images… make sure they end up somewhere that you'll see them everyday.

Washington DC Baby Photographer | Pass Your Story Down

in , , , ,

I have a love affair with artwork. All of the premium artwork I offer is heirloom and museum quality - so it will last for generations to come. And that might seem like too much. After all, why would you ever need something to last that long? It’s so much longer than you'll ever need it for.

But that's the thing isn't it... the images aren't just for you. They're for your children too. And your children's children. Because someday when we're long gone, the only thing they'll have left is photographs. They'll want to share what you looked like. How their children shared your smile. How your hair moved when you laughed. 

And that's why it's so important the images we create today last. Because someday this album is going to belong to a child, and she's going to share it with her own family. To share where she came from. To share the people who raised her, who loved her. To pass your story down as part of her own.

The Glass Keepsake Box | Washington DC Maternity and Newborn Baby Photographer

in , , , ,

One of my favorite ways to display loose print images is in the Glass Keepsake Box. Each keepsake box is handmade and features an antique finish to beautifully display your treasured images. Inside is a bordered print of every image from your session, telling your story from beginning to end. 

Keepsake boxes are perfect for showcasing your images, simply untie the ribbon and lift your prints out of the box to look through each one.
