Jack | 3 Months - Washington, DC Baby Photographer

in

People contact me sometimes concerned that their baby is "too old" to have their photos taken. It's true that those sleepy newborn poses can only really be achieved in the first couple of weeks after a baby is born, but by no means are babies too old to be photographed after that! No matter what the age - whether they are 2 weeks, 2 months, or 12 months old - our babies are still our babies and those fleeting moments should be preserved. Handsome Jack's mom contacted me when he was almost 8 weeks old - several weeks outside of the typical newborn photography window, but still amazing and adorably handsome as can be.

We discussed how an older baby's session is different, but still wonderful, and decided to wait a few weeks more to take his photos when he began smiling more often. It's not often that I get the opportunity to do lifestyle sessions or photograph 3 month olds, so getting to do both in one session was such a treat. Little Jack  had such fun with his parents and I had a wonderful time meeting all of them.

I hope you all had a wonderful first Mother's Day weekend together!

I had such a fun time during this session. Not only was baby Rhys a dream, but big brother Ewan came and played with me for a little while too. That kiddo is a hide and seek champion. These two brothers are going to be a riot as they grow up together. I imagine endless laughter, lots of games, and heaps of brotherly love are in this family's future. Congratulations again the arrival of your newest little guy O family!

Handsome Mr. Ian is one of the most squishable little babies I've had the honor of photographing. I cannot get over his perfectly pinchable cheeks and sweet baby rolls. He was a dream throughout the session and just loved sleeping on his tummy while I took his photos. His two big sisters joined us for part of his session, and they are two of the coolest big sisters around. They invited me to Chuck E Cheese afterwards, so there's your proof of their coolness right there. He's going to have a blast running around with him. But most of all, my favorite images of this handsome little man are the ones with him and his mom. He loved being snuggled up so close to her and you can see the love between them instantly. Congratulations again to this newest family of five!

Gryffin is one very special little girl. Her parents moved heaven and earth to have her, a story that made me tear up when I first heard about it (and still warms my heart to think about). I feel so fortunate to have gotten the opportunity to meet her family and take her newborn photos. And she was a complete doll to photograph. Her squishy little lips and lovely lashes make me want to cuddle my monitor (weird? still true). No doubt her big brothers will be showing her how to play sports and run around with the dog in no time. I bet she'll give them a run for their money when the time comes too! Congratulations, H family, on your new little girl!
