Some might try to argue that newborn photography is boring because most newborns sleep throughout the session. After all, there are only so many poses you can do with a newborn, right? Nope! I have been photographing newborns for several years now, and I can personally attest that the opposite is true. The creative possibilities...
Baby Model in Training! Handsome baby Garrett came to visit me at the studio when he was just two weeks old. He had no idea what was taking place at the time. He slept so soundly, lulled by the sounds of the studio and his parents’ voices, but little did he know, this is just...
This is the kind of magical shoot that inspires movies! Chule and her loving husband are expecting a baby boy in just a few short weeks (although I’m sure it feels even longer to them as they eagerly await the day they get to meet their newborn son for the first time). Every woman deserves...
When I do a newborn shoot, I can’t help but imagine all of life just waiting to blossom out of that tiny sleeping body. Right from the beginning, you can see their own unique personality in the way they prefer to be held a certain way, their unmistakable cry, their eating habits, even the way...

Nothing can compare to the joy of parenthood, and these two amazing parents now have two very handsome little boys. Baby boy Ekam just made his grand debut into...
Every time I do a newborn session, I can’t help but look at the family resemblances. It is so much fun to see which features are from Mom and which are from Dad—either way, they are always a beautiful blend of both. Baby Elle came into my studio at ten days old, and wow! she...
One of the best parts of being a newborn photographer (other than meeting those sweet, brand-new faces and their parents of course) is being able to incorporate fun, imaginative themes. While certain floral themes or cute, miniature props may not be fitting for an older child or adults, babies look so adorable with just about...
Photographing Stephanie and her husband was an absolute dream. Their session was romantic and elegant. I was so excited when they contacted me to be there DC maternity photographer. When discussing their vision for their maternity session, I could tell they were going to be a fun and adventurous couple to photograph. Stephanie even allowed...
