2019 Recap | Fairfax and Loudoun Newborn Photographer

They always say that the days are long and the years are short. Never is that more true then looking back at all the babies and families I’ve met in a single year. This year was filled so many beautiful moments and memories. Looking back, I’m so grateful for it all.

It’s almost overwhelming to look over so many sessions and so many images with so many beautiful families. Maternity sessions, new babies, families all together. These are the moments that inspire me and drive my creative heart. These are the moments that make me love your families and adore your babies.

I could never choose just one favorite. The images I share here on this blog and on instagram represent just some of my favorites from each session. Images that make my heart sing, and I hope they do the same for you.

I’ve been more invested in sharing on my blog this year. My thoughts, my advice, my clients. Here are some of my favorite blog posts that have gone up recently:

Being Thankful | Northern VA Newborn Photographer

So much of being a photographer is working alone on your own. Whether it's editing, finalizing artwork orders, creating designs, or answering emails - much of the work is done independently. There are so many things that go on behind the scenes, beyond working with clients directly during sessions (my favorite part), that sometimes it feels like the act of creating is the smallest part of what I do.

And if I'm honest with myself, the time I spend on creative endeavors is the smallest slice in my pie chart. But even though it's the smallest in terms of time, it's the biggest in terms of impact. Of fulfillment. Of making a difference. It’s what fuels my creativity for every session.

Because when I meet new parents and hear their stories, and the children who have turned their lives upside down and sideways, those are the moments that I will remember. The reason I do this. The families that I get to see every year. The ones I get to grow alongside. 

Capturing your stories, your hearts, and moments that will live with your for a lifetime. 

Thank you.

Celebration of Pregnancy | Northern VA Maternity Photographer

I have a heartfelt passion for maternity sessions. I believe that every mom deserves images of herself during pregnancy. I often joke with my clients that pregnancy feels like it will last forever, but in the end it's so very fleeting. The anticipation of meeting your new baby is top of mind, and you just want to snuggle the baby boy or girl that you're about to meet. It’s something that you can’t go back and re-do once it’s over, and in a blink your baby will be here and you'll wonder how it passed by so quickly. Our bodies do amazing, wonderful, and miraculous things to bring that new baby into the world - and it deserves to be celebrated and remembered.

Maternity Boudoir Photography | Washington DC Pregnancy Photographer

Defined, boudoir means “a woman’s bedroom or private space.” At it’s core, boudoir is about intimacy and vulnerability. A look in to a space that’s private and not typically open to others. Maternity boudoir is a reminder of a woman’s grace and raw strength. A glimpse into what she is experiencing. How her body has changed, how she’s preparing for something new and unknown. It’s a celebration of all things to come, and she made it be. An embrace of what your body can do.
