Baby Boy Hayes Makes Family of Four | Loudoun County Newborn Photographer

November 18, 2019 in newborns

When I get to know families something special happens: all the worry and concern about the time we have together fades away. All the unknowns become known and we focus on enjoying the time together. Because perfect images don’t come from perfect sessions or perfect weather or perfect behavior. They come from moments. Simple pure moments of togetherness. Wherever we may be or wherever we may go, these are the moments that stay with us.

I’ve worked with so many people beautiful families over the years, and this beautiful family has been with me almost since the very beginning. I’ve seen their family blossom with these two amazing children, the perfect combination of their parents.

They’ve since set off on a wonderful adventure on the west coast. I’m going to miss seeing them so, but I hope it’s the biggest adventure - full of memories and excitement - for all of them.

Here are some of my favorite images from baby boy Hayes newborn session - enjoy!

Summer Newborn Studio Session | Washington DC Baby Family Photographer

October 28, 2019 in baby, newborns

Baby boy with the most beautiful platinum blond hair. I was so thrilled to see this family in my studio for their newborn session - I always love seeing families again. One question I’m often asked: can older siblings take part in newborn sessions too? The answer is of course! I love seeing siblings during sessions. They should get to take part in the fun, after all this is a big event for them too (even if they do come just play in the curtains!). Here are some of my favorite images from our session together - enjoy!

6 Reasons To Hold Your Newborn Session In A Studio | DC Baby Photographer

August 19, 2019 in newborns, kate juliet photography

Here are some of the top reasons why you should consider holding your session in a studio:

1 - You don't have to clean.

Those first few weeks home are a whirlwind: filled with feedings, loving on your new baby, and creating new routines. What’s the thing that happens less often that used to? Cleaning. You have better things to do with your time than making your space is "photo worthy" for your session (you could spend that time sleeping). Holding your session in a studio means that you don't have to worry about cramming your things into a closet last minute or worrying about having a new person (me) in your space.

2 - The studio has everything you need for your session.

How many times have you put something down and promptly forgotten where you left it? If you're anything like me, it happens all the time. I keep the studio stocked with everything you need for your session, even things you never considered like a white noise machine, extra pacifiers, diapers, and more. I even maintain a complete wardrobe for mothers to borrow clothing for the session. You just need to bring yourself and your baby, I'll take care of the rest.

3 - Your session actually goes more quickly.

It may not seem intuitive, but sessions actually go more quickly in the studio - even when you consider the time it takes to drive there. In-home sessions mean you'll be cleaning before the session even starts, and once the session begins it takes extra time to figure out where to capture your images and move furniture around if necessary. And of course, after the session everything needs to get cleaned up and moved back to the right place again.

4 - The studio is made to make your baby comfortable, and your images beautiful.

Everything about the studio was carefully selected to create the most beautiful images possible. From the color on the walls, the flooring, curtains, and all of the available wraps and clothing options - it's all there to make the process as easy for you as possible.

5 - Great light, guaranteed.

Every photographer knows that the secret to amazing images is great light. Without amazing light, images just aren't the same. The light in my studio is always perfect for portraits, so you never have to worry about if light too harsh, too dark, or too anything-else-that-ins't-quite-perfect.

6 - It's a calm space.

My studio was designed to be calm environment for parents, babies, and siblings. Just entering the space can make you breath a sigh of relief. Parents have an opportunity to sit and enjoy the time with their family, and you can feel confident knowing that all the details are taken care of for you.

Welcome to the World Andrew | Washington DC Baby Photographer

August 08, 2019 in newborns

There is such beautiful sweetness in being born. With every new baby I see all the possibilities of the world laid out in front of them. Who will they become? How will they change the world? Will they be an artist? A doctor? A teacher? So many opportunities await in their future.

But now, in their first days home, he is simply loved and adored. By his parents and new big sister. Whatever the future may hold, today is a gift. His arrival means he’s already changed his family’s world, and there’s so much more to come.

I loved getting to see them after documenting their maternity session. Here are a some of my favorite images from baby Andrew’s newborn session - enjoy!
