2016 Children's Holiday Event | Northern VA Children's Photographer

This year I offered a special Children's Holiday event exclusively to previous Kate Juliet Photography clients. I don't often hold events like this - just one other time during the year for my Motherhood Event in May - so it was an especially joyful opportunity to re-connect with some of my favorite families. Some families I saw only a couple months before, while others I hadn't seen for years. No matter how long it had been, it felt like re-connecting with an old friend - picking up right where we left off. 

Siblings played, babies laughed, and we even tried to find a few early holiday presents. Everyone took home a few extra holiday goodies and some extra special memories. I loved seeing so many babies and family in the studio, there's no better way to kick off the holiday season.

Here are some of my favorite images from this year's holiday event - enjoy!

A Season of Gratitude | Washington DC and Northern VA Baby Family Photographer

In this season of thanks I want to share my gratitude & appreciation.
This business, this art, this craft -
     they have evolved into something I never could have dreamed of.

I began my photography journey years ago. 
Capturing memories for myself.
For causes I believed in.
For my own memory treasure box.

Then I began capturing memories for you.
You, who are expecting a baby.
You, the new mother.
You, watching your little ones grow bigger each day.

And my heart filled.

Filled with your babies.
Your hopes & love for them.
Your new dreams & wishes.
Uncertainties & triumphs.

I am grateful everyday for getting to do this.
This thing I love.
This ever-changing art form,
     both challenging & inspiring.

So thank you.
For being you.
For when you became part of my journey
    I became part of yours.
And that's an honor.

Thank you.

Heirloom Albums | Washington DC Newborn Baby Photographer

The heirloom album is one of my favorite ways to preserve and display your images. Albums are timeless & classic, they never go out of style. 

Each album is hand-crafted with archival materials, creating the highest quality medium for your artwork. Thick, lay-flat pages are printed on professional quality photographic papers and features your favorite cover in genuine Italian leather, European linen, or Japanese fabric. 

Albums are perfect for displaying a large gallery of images, telling your story from beginning to end. Enjoy your album over and over again for years to come.

4 Things I Would Love for You to Know About My Photography Business for 2016 | Washington DC Maternity and Baby Photographer

1. My studio... well, it's kind of amazing.

I am in love with my new studio. It's my happy place. It's pretty and gets gorgeous light. It has everything needed to make beautiful sessions. The space is inspiring and I'm constantly finding new ways to use every nook and cranny.  It's the perfect place for every session, whether I'm photographing a little newborn baby or a family of five, it's the perfect backdrop for my clients' families.

2. Fine art prints & albums are my favorite... ever.

I go all out when researching the best possible products to offer my clients, and when I found an opportunity to offer the very best museum quality fine art prints and albums I literally jumped up and down I was so giddy about them. The prints are amazing and gorgeous. Thick beautiful museum quality textured prints that render color beautifully and will last for decades. And the albums are to die for with beautiful thick heavy-weight pages and solid binding. 

3. The studio wardrobe is gorgeous.

I started investing in the studio wardrobe last year and I am so in love with it. Every single piece is gorgeous, fits moms beautifully, and photographs like a dream. It's so hard to figure out what to wear for a session, and I'm so happy to be able to take the guesswork out of it for you. Having something beautiful to wear is another way I enjoy pampering clients and it's so much fun to play dress up before we begin.

4. Less is more.

This is true in several areas of my business for 2016. My style is returning to one of simple muted neutral colors, without a lot of fuss or props. This style isn't for everyone, but it makes my heart sing. I'm also trimming back on the number of sessions I take each month. I love you all and I would love to photograph every baby in the world, but it just isn't possible. This year I'm striving for balance.  More chances to connect with my husband and son, because I never want to miss out on time with them. Inspired by that, I'm also exploring new ways of giving other moms the same, with beautiful simple portraits with their children and babies.

It's going to be a wonderful year. I can't wait to find out what's in store next.
