Welcome
Thank you so much for taking the time to contact me about your session. Having a baby is the most momentous life event, in the blink of an eye you are forever changed by one small human being. I believe that photographing this incredible time is the greatest gift we can give to ourselves and our families. My goal is to create images and artwork for you that will live on in your family for generations to come. For every milestone - from their first day at school, to graduation day, and their wedding day - you will always remember how little they were.
About the Experience
At the time of booking, we will schedule the date and time for your session, or I will put your due date on my calendar. After baby arrives we will schedule your newborn session, but you can generally expect your session to be held in the morning on the first or second weekend after delivery. All outdoor sessions are held about an hour before sunset at one of my favorite locations in northern VA. Studio sessions are are held in the morning.
I know that life with a new baby is hectic, so I remove all the worry from your sessions. The studio wardrobe is available for you to borrow clothing from for all studio sessions. The wardrobe features beautiful pieces for mothers in neutral colors and flattering styles so you look and feel beautiful. I have a collection of neutral blankets and wraps for babies, so you don't have to bring a thing for baby for your session. I find that simple setups and neutral colors highlight babies and families best, so all of my sessions are designed to capture images in a timeless, natural way.
Within three weeks of your session, you will receive a link to a password protected online gallery with no less than 25 images. Galleries includes both color and black & white versions of every image. Online galleries are active for five days, during which time you can select your favorite artwork. Most artwork is delivered within 6-8 weeks of finalizing your order.
