Is “Best First Birthday Photographer” a thing in Washington, DC? If it wasn’t before, it certainly is now. I LOVE first birthday parties, and I LOVE photographing them. After a year full of huge developments and mastering milestones, everyone deserves a little cake, especially the birthday baby! Are you searching for Newborn Photographer DC? Nataly...
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). Are you searching...
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...
This sweet girl loves all things ruffles! She loved every outfit change, every accessory, and every prop we used. We all had so much fun together, changing backgrounds and highlighting her sweet beauty. This session was in celebration of her second birthday, what a fun age! First, we started with a bubblegum themed session, pops...

In honor of Mother’s Day that just passed and Father’s Day that is soon to come, I wanted to feature this sweet family and newborn session. 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...
Just a few short weeks ago, I did Ashley’s gorgeous maternity photos that you will also see below. She was an absolutely stunning expectant mother, and she radiated happiness as her due date was quickly approaching. I wanted to help her look extra glamorous to celebrate her pregnancy and her beautiful body that was growing...
