It was such a treat to photograph this perfect baby girl and to work with her sweet family, who recently relocated to the area to join the Washington Commanders family.   Naturally, her parents wanted to incorporate some of her dad’s uniform/gear into her portrait session; I just love how perfectly she fits into her dad’s football helmet!
We also captured a number of more traditional portraits, incorporating a floral theme…I have shared some of my favorites below.
I am so very thrilled for this incredibly sweet family, and I wish them continued success and happiness in the DMV area!

How precious is her sweet little yawn?

I was so excited to see this beautiful family again and meet their newest addition!  I had the pleasure of photographing big brother both for his newborn session and his first birthday cake smash, so it was so fun to see him “all grown up” and assuming his new role as a big brother.  As you can see, he has readily embraced that role, and clearly loves his little brother. . .with good reason!  Baby brother is an absolute sweetheart; he was full of smiles, and definitely appreciated all of the snuggles from his family.

I may be biased, but I truly feel like you can feel the love emanating from the photos from this session!

I adore his little smile in the image below!

This adorable little guy is ready to hit the ice to follow in his daddy’s footsteps as a professional hockey player!  He is clearly already rockin’ the red, and looks just darling in a tiny hockey uniform.  (Look how little he looks in comparison to his dad’s hockey gloves!)

As a hockey mom myself (and a Caps fan, of course!), it was so much fun to create a Capitals-themed photo session for this sweetheart!  I love the opportunity to be creative, and also to incorporate personal items into newborn sessions to make them even more special.
It was such a treat to capture these images for this cutie’s mom and dad, and I couldn’t be happier for their family!

I thoroughly enjoy each one of my newborn portrait sessions, but it is always so special when I photograph a client’s newborn, and then the family returns to me a  few years later to capture their second (or third or fourth) baby.  I love seeing my clients again and helping them document their growing family, and it is such a treat for me to see “my babies” again as toddlers and watch them embrace their new role as big brother or big sister.   As I think is evident in the images below, this particular big brother was one of the most loving and proud I have ever photographed – such a sweetheart!

I photographed new baby Z at just under two weeks old, and he was just perfect — such a good sleeper, just like his big brother was for his session.  He allowed us to capture lots of different poses and expressions (it is always exciting as a newborn photographer to capture both a yawn AND several smiles in the same session)!  This sweet little guy is so very loved (as you can see from the following photos), and I am so happy for  his beautiful family!
