Glowing Mama-to-Be | Arlington VA Maternity Pregnancy Photographer

A funny story: I went to high school (this isn't the funny part) and then many years later (I won't get into how many years later) I did a session with an expecting mama (not the mama pictured here). Shortly after her session I learned that she was friends with someone I went to high school with (see how the high school part is relevant now?). And shortly after that, said friend, gorgeous Brittany pictured below, became pregnant and then we met up x number of years later for her maternity session. Small world.
I was so happy to reconnect with Brittany. She is beyond sweet (hasn't changed at all since high school) and it was such a joy to work with her. The light and the evening were perfection as we celebrated and captured this special time for her. I am so thrilled to have been a small part of it and to meet up again with someone I knew so long ago.
Here are some of my favorite images from our time together - enjoy!
Sweet Baby Girl | Alexandria VA Family Baby Photographer
in family, motherhood, baby
Cutie Pie! That's pretty much all I can think when I see sweet Genevieve's face. She is just beyond adorable, it kind of makes me want to have babies until I have a baby girl just as cute as she is... which is a pretty tall order and I'm not sure my ovaries could handle it.
The weaknesses of my ovaries aside, this sweet family was such a joy to work with. They are so kind and lovely. We met on a day with the most fantastic weather and beautiful light, it all came together perfectly for their session.

Lovely Parents-to-be | Northern VA Maternity and Newborn Photographer

These two are oh so much fun.
There's nothing like a glowing mama-to-be, but I love it when dads join in on maternity sessions too. It's such a huge life-changing time for a couple and I love capturing this wonderful anticipation of a new baby phase. I had a lovely time with Dawn and Brian during our outdoor maternity session together. They are such a sweet couple and oh the laughs! There was no shortage of laughter during this session. They laugh and play and are flirty and cute with one another.
And of course Dawn was gorgeous and glowing the entire time. The joy and love and anticipation of meeting their new baby boy was everywhere. He is going to be one loved and lucky little guy. Here are some of my favorite images from our session together - enjoy!
Outdoor Fall Family Session | Springfield VA Baby Photographer

I just adore this family. They are so sweet and wonderful. I've been lucky enough to work with them several times before this session - for mom's maternity session, for their First 48 hospital session, and baby Evelyn's newborn session. Each time is better than the last.
This motherhood family session was especially lovely. Baby Evy is SO BIG now, I can hardly believe it. She is going to be running around in no time at all.
