One Question I'm Not Asked Often Enough | Northern VA and Washington DC Newborn Baby Photographer

I get asked a lot of questions by my clients, and I'm always happy to answer whatever questions or concerns might be on their mind. After all, the process of finding a photographer can be a tricky one and there are a lot of things to consider.

But there is one question that I'm not asked often enough:

Are you vaccinated?

In all of my time photographing expecting mothers and their babies, I have can count on one finger how many times I've been asked.
One.

I understand the hesitation. It's a personal question, and a medical related one at that.
It opens up a potential can of worms that many people may rightly not want to get into.

So here's the answer: Yes, I absolutely am.

And my husband is.
And my son.
And my son's grandparents are too. 

The one time I was asked, it was by a new dad, while I was already holding his new baby son, and he hesitantly spoke up a concern that was clearly on his mind. I did not mind in the least that he brought it up. I quickly assured him that yes I was and that it was smart that he asked.

But in my mind I thought: I wish you had asked me sooner.

Because in that moment, I was already holding his baby.
He was already swaddled in one of my wraps.
We were already in close contact.

For me, there is no controversy regarding this issue.
As a newborn photographer, my first and primary concern is, and always will be, the safety of the babies I work with. 

So my answer is yes. I am. 



Baby Boy Makes Family of Four | Northern VA Newborn Photographer

I have said it a hundred million times and I will say it a hundred million more: I cannot get enough of newborn sessions and their new big siblings. No matter how old they are, they are always a riot and half and I love them so much for it. Even more when it’s a kiddo that I photographed as a newborn. Seeing how they’ve grown and react to this new milestone is a favorite. Here are some of my favorite images with new baby Oscar and his big sister (and their wonderful parents) - enjoy!
